Organisational Coaching
Organisational coaching is a three-way dimensional contract. The coach effectively manages and holds the balance of meeting the needs of the organisation whilst supporting and developing the talent of the individual.
Whilst organisational coaching is inclusive of both parties needs it can include:
- Communication skills
- Professional development
- Strategic thinking
- Presentation Skills
- Change Management Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Work/Life Balance
- Career change
- Redundancy as a positive opportunity
- Stress Management
- Setting clear success goals
- Developing plans
- Confidence building
- Confidentiality
- Transactional and transformational support
- Motivation
- Objectivity
- A non-judgmental safe space to reflect, regroup, grow and develop
Personal Performance Coaching
Personal Performance Coaching facilitates you to be the best version of yourself, whilst releasing more of your potential. It will enable and empower you to achieve results in all areas of your life. Coaching is the bridge from where you are now to where you want to be.
“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you will keep getting what you’ve always got!”
A Personal Coach will focus on you as a whole person in the present moment enabling you to move into a more rewarding future. This differs from counselling, mentorship and consultancy. Coaches believe you have all the answers and inner resources you require and will help facilitate you accordingly to develop and make the changes you need at a pace that is right for you.
“Invest in your future – you really can have the life you want!”

Overview of the Courses (Certificate)
The courses are broken down into two initial training days back-to-back and then another two a month later with the final one or two being spread apart. These face-to-face days allow for both theory and practice to be taught and offers a strong grounding into coaching within organisations and at a senior leadership level.
You will need to identify 2 -3 suitable coachees at the correct level who are willing to offer good quality feedback in exchange for the coaching sessions and can commit to the length of the programme. We also suggest you may have a fourth coachee identified in case anyone has to drop out of the process. The coaching & mentoring activity will form the Portfolio which is one of your 3 assessed pieces of work.
