Bringing confidence and challenge
Change is a fundamental certainty. Every employee will go through it – it is needed for growth, renewal and innovation. But it can also be tricky to navigate.
If your employee is facing a time of change, we offer one-to-one coaching to support them in overcoming perceived hurdles. We have confidence in our clients, yet we don’t shy away from challenge. Instead, we create an environment that is lacking in judgement and high in empathy – so the real issues can surface and be worked with in a way that benefits all parties. We make sure that people feel able to bring their vulnerabilities – it means we get to the root of the problem and achieve more in a shorter timeframe.
Focus on the whole person
Do you strive to enable your people to perform at their very best? Not despite their individual circumstance or change – but because of it. To do this, we focus on the whole person (not just the parts they bring to work) to identify their unique strengths and potential. Combining exploration and discovery methods with a practical, results driven approach, we prepare people for change and set them up for success.
Coaching programmes are tailored and use a range of proven assessments and tools. While we always adapt to the individual, there are some consistent anchor points throughout:
- Exploration and reflection on existing circumstances
- Identifying a clear future focus
- Anticipating hurdles
- Agreeing action
- Period(s) of transformation
- Review & reset
Coaching has had proven success with:
- New hires
- Returners from extended leave
- Promotion
- Team change
- Change in circumstances at work or home
Coaching programmes are supported with Strengths profiling (Hogan Assessments, Strengths Based Leadership) and 360 feedback.
Coaching was a key element to the success of our Returner Programme. The support that Helen was able to give our candidates was extremely valuable. Naturally, adjusting to a new role can be challenging, especially for those who have had a period of time out of the workplace. The coaching provided an opportunity to talk through scenario’s and to discuss how to approach different situations to ensure a successful outcome for all. I know that the candidates found the coaching very helpful and all have a huge amount of respect for Helen as she helped them all make the most out of the opportunities they were given.
Helen combines a wealth of experience and wisdom with an empathetic and insightful approach, the candidates very quickly found they could talk very freely with Helen which meant they were able to make the most of their time with her.
