Coaching Programmes

• Confidence Coaching - Experience has shown that for many people wanting to find or build their confidence is also about fnding their 'voice'.  I have developed, with the help of other experts in the field, the 'Talking Stick Programme™'.   The 'talking stick' was used in Native North American tribes at council meetings.  The stick was a ceremonial item and its significance was that it designated the right to speak.                                                                    A talking stick is used today by many individuals and groups,  It can make sure that people listen to what is being said and can help keep an interesting discussion focused. The 'Talking Stick Programme™' is designed to help you find your 'voice' and behaviours so that you can build the resources to become skillfully confident.                                             Join the thousands of people worldwide who are using a Confidence Coach to...

• improve their career prospects
  
• be more confident on dates

• overcome the effects of divorce/separation

Some definitions to help you:

So what is coaching?

A Coach is someone who is there to help you build on your successes and design, plan and instigate successful business/life strategies. There are basically three types of coaching:

• Business/Executive Coaching involves helping you improve your performance at work. Executive Coaching is often about the psychology of excellence – that is making what’s good even better and helping your keep ahead of the game. Business Coaching could include helping you consider how to get the best out of your staff; your peers and your superiors as well as helping you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
• Life/Personal Coaching focuses in a more holistic way on any aspect of your life that you would like to improve. For example, a Life Coach could help you become more assertive with your friends and family, enable you to tackle people and situations you have avoided for fear of looking silly or being rejected and help you overcome a personal block such as taking up a healthier lifestyle.
• Speciality Coaching is offered where the person concerned either seeks or is referred for specialist assistance in a given subject areas such as Stress, Confidence, Spirituality etc.

Although Executive/Business, Life/Personal Coaching and Speciality Coaching are seen as separate activities many people find that they are linked. Sometimes what seems like a business problem may have a connection with other life factors.This is not a problem and we often find  it is important to take a holistic view to change and development work with our clients.

Coaching is:

• Practical
• Skill based
• Individually tailored to each person's requirements
• Fitted around your life and your needs
• Outcome driven
• Usually short-term
• Not a substitute for personal motivation - you still have to take responsibility for the problem, the changes you make and the amount of work you choose to do!

Who is Coaching for?

At a Personal level - Coaching provides confidential support which is particularly valuable during times of rapid or dramatic change in life circumstances or times when confidence can be low such as:

• New Job/career change
• Promotion
• Organisational or Role Change
• Return to Work after a break
• Redundancy
• Retirement
• Work/Life balance seems out of control
  

In Business - Developing individuals and teams within your organisation through coaching, training and workshops. Recent workshop themes have included:

• Coaching Skills
• Giving and Receiving Feedback Effectively
• Enhanced Communication
• Assertiveness & Influencing
• Building trust and co-operation in Teams
• Change Management
• Work/life balance

This can be achieved through one-off workshops, or a tailored programme of workshops, team coaching and 1:1 coaching sessions. We also provide focus group facilitation and consultancy in Staff Development and Change Management.

Typically clients work with us on the following areas:

Coaching is often used to complement other learning activities such as courses and workshops. Research shows that the application of newly learned skills is greatly increased when coaching support is used.
