Very often people are promoted because of their technical ability and expected to manage people with little or no training – I know I was! I love the practicality of this type of workshop or session, the increased understanding and competency and the benefits to businesses that I see.
Why am I able to influence some people well and then there is that one person or people that I just don’t connect with?
Why is it that in some situations I can influence confidently and effectively and in others I am unable to?
Both questions I am often asked. Understanding the influencing theory and developing those skills gives people the confidence and ability to connect and build positive relationships with even the ‘most difficult’ of people.
Authentic and effective leadership is a subject that is discussed and written about every day.
My Leadership Development approach will enable your leaders to build up their level of self awareness and their emotional intelligence.
Your cultural and business needs will be the foundation of the approach we take with a selection of tools and techniques available. Every leader is unique as are the people they lead and the business they work in.
We will focus on remaining authentic whilst being the skilled, self aware and emotionally intelligent leader that is needed.
How you work together as a team has always been key to your success both with delivering the task and the climate you create for people.
More recently this has become a bigger challenge with more people working remotely and the increased amount of change.
I can facilitate the development of an updated team strategy and ways of working that will help you navigate the new normal, a new team and create the team environment that you need for everyone to succeed. I will design a bespoke workshop with content and a process that meets your needs.
It is important to have a conversation with your potential coach before making the decision to go ahead. This will enable you to know if the chemistry feels right and therefore whether you have the right person as a coach. We would also discuss your hopes for the coaching in terms of desired outcome to establish if coaching is the right way forward.
This will depend on what you are hoping to achieve, and I am completely flexible. Many people will book between three and six sessions with between 4 and six weeks in between but that will depend on what is helpful for you.
We can meet face to face and my recommendation is to find somewhere informal and away from the workplace where you will feel comfortable. Some people even like to walk and talk. I also run many coaching sessions virtually with cameras on and for a few clients the phone is preferred.
Every single one is completely bespoke to the client needs and so the best way forward is for us to discuss. I will listen to what you are hoping to achieve, share ideas and experiences where relevant and produce a proposal for you to consider. This meeting is of course at no cost to you.
When they are in person they will typically be at a meeting venue that is suitable and convenient to you or in your own facilities if you have them and prefer to do that. All of them can be adapted to a virtual version with more, smaller sessions or alternatively you may want a combination of on and offline learning.
I work with an extended team of learning and development professionals who are also qualified and experienced coaches. We work together to support each other’s clients ensuring that a wide range of experience, qualifications and skills are available.
I would love to chat about what you are looking to achieve. Give me a call, message or email, I look forward to hearing from you.
