What does a Coaching Programme looks like?
They normally last around 6 sessions and the great news is with technology they can be face to face. The first session is exploratory focusing on what you are trying to achieve and why you want to achieve it? Building trust and a relationship is the key and an objective should be clear by the end of the session. Your line manager may be part of some of this session to provide expectations on outcomes. Our coaching conversations are completely confidential.
We schedule sessions into the diary eg, someone making a big change in an organisation is likely to have … Read on

Message from the MD
Continuing on the theme of resilience, this morning I thought a reminder about how to manage our time and our workload would help those working from home. Here is the Urgent and Important Matrix from Stephen Covey and a link to a short YouTube video to explain it.
I love this tool and use it everyday in my work life. I often use it in my personal life too when I become overwhelmed with the tasks ahead.
It’s also useful to think about when you are most productive during the day. If you are energised in the morning this is … Read on

Tea and TED at 3
I will think of you, you think of me, when we have Tea and TED at 3!
Today we are watching ‘The health benefits of clowning around‘ by TED Resident Matthew A. Wilson.
As a medical clown, Matthew Wilson takes the old adage that laughter is the best medicine very seriously. In this heartwarming talk, he shares glimpses of how clowning around can help patients (and medical staff) navigate stressful situations — with no side effects.

Coach Reflection

3. I learn about myself every day
4. I have learned not to make assumptions about people

Coachee Reflection
I am having some reflective time this morning on what my coaching brings to my coachees. Here are my top four.
1. You have time that is solely focused on you. You don’t have to listen to me or ask me questions. It is only about you.
2. I am not emotionally involved and whatever decision(s) you make will not impact me, therefore I will not be trying to move you in a particular direction in the way your spouse or family might. I have no opinion on what you should do.
3. There are no judgments in my Coaching … Read on
