More
and more businesses are employing professional coaches to improve the quality
of the work from their employees. Many individuals require coaching before undertaking
a job interview, career move or even speaking to the media.
Coaching
is now very much accepted by organisations as a challenging but highly effective
way of self-development. Increasingly more and more people are seeking one to
one coaching at different stages in their careers. Coaching enables managers to
enhance their performance, sharpen their critical thinking skills and improve
their ability to set direction and lead more effectively.
Some
people use coaching to help them address new challenges in their work. Others
because they feel they are not accomplishing all they are capable of, or wish
to feel more confident in their work role.
The
benefits of coaching are significant.
-
Coaching will help you to maximise your own resources more effectively to improve
your performance at work.
-
It will help you to achieve both corporate and personal goals by motivating you
to realise your full potential.
-
It will help you to strengthen your skills base and develop new knowledge and
skills.
-
Coaching will enable you to approach the way you do things much more confidently.
It can be about changing "the knowing what to do" into "doing it"..
-
It will increase
your level of self-awareness and awareness of the impact that you have on others.
The
key objective working with the client is to help you the client focus in on what
you most want to achieve. The jml
Training
coach is not there to tell you what you should do but to help you to come up with
your own solutions using your analytical and reflective skills.
The
Process
Coaching
is conducted on a one-to-one basis. The relationship between the client and the
coach is based on confidentiality and built on a high level of trust between the
client and the coach.
jml
Training
uses a structured method to maximise the effectiveness of the coaching. It starts
with an introductory session where you identify with the coach the areas you wish
to explore. Expectations are clarified and goals and objectives are established.
The coach will then work with you to analyse the current position on issues, generate
options for change and develop an action plan.
The
content of any particular coaching session will also respond to the immediate
needs and wishes of the client and the immediate circumstances they find themselves
in.
Essentially
coaching is about change and transition. It requires a high level of commitment
from the client to implement agreed actions and to discuss and evaluate those
actions at each coaching session.
The
number of coaching sessions can vary dependent on an individual's needs and progress.
