Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It assumes that they have within them the ability and resources to move towards their goals. Coaching helps them to define where they want to go and it gets them there faster and more easily than if they worked on their own. The coaching sessions are face to face, working one to one.
Typical personal development coaching sessions might cover:
- Thinking styles: noticing and influencing skills - talking, selling and negotiating in anyone's language
- Relationship and communication skills: Making it easy for people to work together by understanding others' values and beliefs.
- Goal definition tools: Learning models that work on a systemic level enables people to build clear goals with defined actions.
- Levels of learning and change: Learning what to do, with whom and when (1:1, groups, organisation to organisation and at a truly systemic level).
- Emotional Intelligence: Gaining high performance, managing states, alleviating stress, emotional awareness, relating to and managing other people's feelings within goals.
- Problem solving: Organising how to solve problems using a number of NLP models to gain effective results.
- Language technique: Effectively using conversation, emails and telephones. Language as high quality information-gathering tool designed for business. The language of information relating to sales, high-scoring questions and understanding answers. Using other people's language to understand the structure of their world.
- Modelling best performance: Modelling who is getting the best sales, how they are thinking, behaving and achieving high results.
Coaching is not about healing the past; it is not counselling or therapy; instead it helps clients to explore their own solutions. The agenda belongs to the client.
