Creating a Coaching Culture at Work

Coaching skills for managers: manager as coach

Performance coaching is a current buzzword but there is nothing new about it: coaching is a style of communication advocated by Socrates who wrote "I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think".
Performance coaching is about facilitating managers to identify their targets and empowering them to take action.
Performance coaching relieves stress, fear, confusion and procrastination, replacing them with clarity, motivation, energy, meaning and purpose.
A coaching style is synonymous with good leadership. Coaching managers lead from behind, drawing out the highest dedication, loyalty and effort from their teams and imbuing them with the confidence to succeed.

Team Coaching/group coaching

Scientists say that one of the key differences that separates us from the ape world is our ability to work in teams – although you might not think so from the state of teamwork in some organisations.

Teams who play together stay together: in this complex world of change, mergers and uncertainty, every organisation is chasing the same pool of talent. A coaching culture is a place where people will stay for the satisfaction they obtain from their workplace, a factor which is more important than money according to staff surveys.

We can give your leaders, from CEOs to junior managers, simple executive coaching and leadership techniques for group coaching and team coaching, to turn their teams into happy and dedicated units.

Transformational Leadership

Some leaders have a natural coaching style which they will have learned from seminal influences such as parents or other role models. However, with prolonged training and practise to embed the skills, every manager can master the principles of a coaching management style.

Through a blend of psychometric testing, training and one to one executive coaching, we can help you identify the coaching culture you would like to achieve in your organisation, what needs to change, then how to implement the changes using our accredited executive coaches and performance coaching trainers throughout the UK and the world.
