Coaching

Previously, coaching was only associated with sports. Top sportspeople such as David Beckham and Tiger Woods use coaches to help them achieve optimum performance in their respective sports. Today, coaching is rapidly expanding in the corporate world. Senior executives, managers and teams are engaging coaches just like successful sportspeople do – not necessarily because there is anything ‘wrong’ with their performance, but because they are seeking ‘peak’ personal, team and organisational performance.

What is coaching?

Timothy Gallwey an expert in coaching puts it simply – coaching is unlocking potential to maximise performance.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) United Kingdom’s leading professional body for personal and organisational development defines coaching as developing a person’s skills and knowledge so that their job performance improves, hopefully leading to the achievement of organisational objectives.

Research carried out by the CIPD has shown that coaching is one of the most effective tools for leadership development.

We specialise in the following areas of Coaching

• Executive Coaching
• Project Coaching
• Team Coaching

Peak Executive Coaching

Executives are under pressure to meet high performance targets. However, many have no one they can trust to act as a sounding board or to challenge their views. This could lead to isolation, stress and sub-optimal performance.

Our Peak Executive Coaching model – CREATORS™ has been designed to bring out the best in senior executives and managers.

CREATORS – stands for Change, Result, Explore, Action plan, Trade off, Options, Resources and Stakeholders. Contact Us for further details about this model.

Our coaching programmes cater for a range of client requirements from newly appointed managers to experienced senior executives and board members.

Peak Project Coaching

Various research has shown that over 75% of IT projects fail despite using structured methods and tools. Other studies have identified ‘people’ issues, rather than technical issues as prime causes of project failure. Project failure is costing organisations millions of pounds.

Project coaching facilitates learning and development within projects.

Our Project Coaching model (PITS™), provides a framework for coaching in project based organisations. The PITS model focuses on supporting and developing project managers, teams and stakeholders. The resultant effects are improved individual, team and project performance.

Other benefits of PITS Project Coaching include:

• Improved interpersonal and leadership skills
• Improved relationships between project manager, team and stakeholders
• Support with problem solving and decision making
• Increased stakeholder satisfaction
• Increased project success

Team Coaching

Organisations depend on high-performing management and departmental teams to successfully deliver business objectives. Lack of a common purpose, unclear roles, poor communication and team conflict may inhibit team performance. Team coaching intervention addresses these barriers and ensures peak team performance.
