Coaching aims to bring about a transformation in the way individuals think, are motivated and act; it can help focus attention on breaking through personal comfort zones, recognising personal potential and preparing for new roles. Coaching empowers individuals and enables them to embrace permanent change. It can therefore make a highly valuable contribution to developing better leaders, managers and staff, but is likely to represent a new approach for many, which may run counter to traditional ways of managing and thinking.
We help organisations achieve effectiveness in their coaching capability, equipping individuals with a high degree of proficiency in coaching core competencies and understanding of a broad range of coaching and learning principles. We offer a range of services, ranging from supporting the implementation of an in-house coach capability to 'manager as coach' training, master-class workshops and coach supervision.
Implementing an in-house coaching capability requires more than comprehensive training, however needn't become a complex exercise. We recommend an initial transfer of knowledge and techniques, enabling clients to both avoid pitfalls and exploit the knowledge and insight of successful implementations.
We also support programme design and training client trainers, if required. To support these activities, we are able to draw on a wide range of materials, enabling rapid adaptation of training materials to meet your specific needs and offering templates and tools to support each stage of an implementation.
We believe that our "coaching credentials" speak for themselves. Jackie Keddy is recognised as a prominent practitioner in coaching implementation. An accomplished training facilitator, advisor and interviewer, she frequently speaks at conferences and other platforms, writes and is cited in the coaching and HR press, and is a well-known participant in academic and other industry forums.
She has been instrumental in leading the first not-for-profit organisation's coaching programme to achieve the coveted European Mentoring and Coaching Council Quality Award, crediting the quality and comprehensiveness of coaching training. Jackie works alongside a range of talented and highly qualified associates, whose knowledge and insights can also be drawn upon.
We also provide access to a comprehensive toolkit of coaching resources, developed in consultation with more than 70 organisations. Training and programme materials may be presented alongside the tools in an attractive A5 filoFax organiser.
