Helping leaders to think and plan more strategically and to engage with risk more effectively
Supporting leaders involved in problem definition, possibility thinking, solution generation, planning, decision making, implementation and evaluation
Developing the leadership qualities that research has shown to be associated with success: cognitive flexibility, interpersonal and intrapersonal capability, motivation, knowledge and expertise
Developing a culture of trust, commitment and personal responsibility both internally and with clients and customers
Supporting a change in structure where an individual needs development for a new role
Developing a high potential manager being groomed for promotion
Exploring the behaviours of high performing individuals whose personality style impacts negatively on his or her relationship with colleagues, staff and clients
Following-on from 360-degree performance appraisals
Accelerating personal and team development as part of a wider development programme

How? Coaching programme Individuals will work with a dedicated coach to develop personal insight and learn new skills or behaviours through a series of coaching sessions as outlined below: 1. One initial scoping session of approximately two hours during which the focus for the coaching is discussed and agreed. The use of appropriate diagnostic tools may also be discussed during this session. 2. Four coaching sessions of one and a half hours, working on the issues as discussed during the scoping session. These are very flexible sessions and the focus for the coaching may be constantly reviewed and adapted to best meet the client’s needs. 3. One review session of approximately two hours during which progress is evaluated and ongoing action is agreed.
