COACHING AND PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

As you are probably all aware coaching has become a growing development activity.

In a survey undertaken by the Institute of Personnel and Development in 2004, 99% of respondents felt that coaching delivers tangible results for the individual and organisation.

So, why is coaching such a growth industry? Perhaps it is a sign of our times where organisations and individuals need to be able to change and adapt quicker, the need for development that is focused, individualised and targeted and the financial cost to the business of ineffective managers and staff.

In addition, people are more motivated and learn best when they can see that development is relevant to their job role and coaching is focussed on improving job performance.

When we undertake coaching assignments, we are looking to support an individuals' move from one point to another and identify what they need to do to make the transition.



Sometimes individuals do not consider how they impact on others - good or bad! We work with people on a one to one basis, shadow them in the workplace, attend meetings with them, ask their colleagues what they think about them etc and provide this feedback in a constructive manner. The overall intention is to improve the individuals' personal effectiveness, for the benefit of all.
