Coaching

 

Three reasons you need coaching

According to the Harvard Business Review, the top three reasons coaches are hired are: to develop high potential people or facilitate transition; act as a sounding board; or address derailing behaviour. It’s all about changing your mindset.

 

 

Coaching for success

What our coachees say

 

“After 20 years at the same company, some of my working habits have become ‘comfortable’ – not always in the most productive way. Discussing these issues with an objective expert from the industry has been incredibly helpful.”

COACHEE

 

“Talking to Helen about the issues reminded me of some things that are important in my own working life that I sometimes forget.”

COACHEE

 

“I am now a better listener, less frustrated if I am not in control and more able to take praise without deflecting it. It’s let me take stock and understand the path I am being put on by my company… I’m also more open about my desire to learn expand my experience within the company – and that has been very well received at work.
