Costs

We conduct sessions with a number of people (separately) at your offices in one day, thus enabling an economical daily charge fee model for the 360° Feedback and the one-on-one development sessions. The sessions then run every 2 – 3 weeks, with each individual typically having a series of 3 – 5 sessions scheduled, depending on agreed needs at the outset.

Please get in touch via our contact page to discuss your needs and how we can help.

Internal support sustained

It was important that the development training was adopted as common practice and our Coach-Consultant ensured suitable measurements were in place to challenge the effectiveness of the programme in terms of outputs, actions, coaching and communication to ensure internal support was sustained.

Maintaining perspective

My organisation was going through a merger, restructure and redundancies.  The sessions were very beneficial in maintaining a perspective and enabled a good focus on my own role and strengths.  This promoted a more positive approach and preparation for me to move forward within a newly evolving organisation.

Keeping me and the business on track

The sessions I had helped shape my thoughts when it came to people management, self-awareness and development, and business strategy.

My Coach-Consultant listened first to the key issues then unpicked parts of my brain with the right questions to ensure I had a wider perspective.  Clear, measurable actions were then agreed to keep me and the business on track for improvement and success.

I wanted to get clarity on my thinking without scaring the sheep, i.e. test ideas confidentially outside of the company before developing the ideas internally.

I found the coaching experience very useful in terms of taking time out to consider my approaches and my own position.  My Coach-Consultant’s own business background helped me as it was clear they are grounded in the real world.

A secure environment to share

Supportive, challenging, willing to listen, non-judgemental and a great asset to have on the journey of change. The development helped me in many ways from managing my own behaviours to understanding how to manage others. The development process enabled a secure environment to share the challenges and develop appropriate strategies in dealing with new situations.

Self reflection and bouncing ideas around

Helped me explore my weaknesses, self reflect and remind me of what's important to me (principles not to change) but how to ensure these don't have a detrimental effect on others.  Spending the time to reflect and to bounce ideas around in a safe environment was invaluable.
