Our Approach
For us workplace coaching is a solution-focused, result-orientated, systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of the coachee’s work performance through increased self-awareness and learning how to learn.

Every coaching assignment is different and we endeavour to identify and agree a plan for the coaching process that best meets the client's stated needs at the outset of the work.

In our coaching we operate according to the following principles:

What we offer:

• A systematic approach to feedback and learning based on a well-founded model of adult learning
• Expertise in selection, interpretation and feedback of the full range of instruments for raising self-awareness, including psychometrics, development centres and 360 degree feedback
• A focus on constructing solutions and identifying learning opportunities (not analyzing problems)
• A collaborative approach to identifying goals and learning objectives that are helpful and appropriate for the coachee in their current situation
• An emphasis on identifying goals that will result in personal performance improvements and organizational gain
• Recognition that only those goals that are identified, planned for and truly owned by the coachee are likely to succeed

What we won’t do:

• Pretend that we are experts in the coachee’s own domain (we are experts in feedback and personal development)
• Say what we think is best for the coachee
• Give unsolicited advice
• Pass on own knowledge or beliefs
• Say what other people do in the coachee’s situation
• Say what we would do in the coachee’s situation

What we will do:

• Explain feedback from measures so that coachees can draw informed conclusions
• Listen and question to help clarify coachee’s thinking
• Probe and explore to ensure that we understand what is being said
• Assist in setting development plans with clear personal learning objectives
• Support coachees through review of achievement of goals and agreement of revised or new goals

Work Based learning
A cornerstone of our approach is an emphasis on work-based learning. We believe that the most effective learning can occur in the job itself, but that learning at and from work must be conscious and planned.
