Coaching is an increasingly popular tool for supporting personal development. Just over six out of ten respondents in the CIPD's Learning and development survey 2007 http://www.cipd.co.uk/surveys reported that they now use coaching in their organisations.

Coaching for individuals is usually commissioned by either their line manager, or by the HR function; and the initial purpose and direction of the coaching may be set by the commissioner, but coaching is above all for and directed by the individual. Under these circumstances, an initial meeting of both parties would be held to set up ground rules. As a coach I would expect any feedback to the commissioning manager to be done by the individual receiving the coaching.

Team coaching is rather different, and may be conducted with each member of a team individually or in groups, and is usually, although not exclusively, more closely directed by the manager of the team and is likely to have a specific and time bound purpose or to be for the specific purpose of team building.


Topics that might be appropriate for executive and team coaching are

If you are interested in executive or business coaching for your self your colleagues or your staff, please contact me to discuss options. I charge an hourly rate on a sliding scale depending on the size of the business. I will always give a couple of options for you to chose from.

I offer preferential rates for charities, and am always interested in providing coaching to client groups on behalf of charities. 

Special introductory offer

If you are not sure whether coaching is the right thing for you or your business, and would like a no commitment introduction, Change from Choice, in conjunction with Emergent Solutions, will spend a lunch hour at your offices offering 10 minute coaching sessions to you and any of your staff who are interested.

All we need is a private meeting space for an hour or two, somewhere for a small queue to sit comfortably, and a clock! Sessions can be pre-booked or turn up and wait, whichever will suit your way of working.

The larger the organisation, the more coaches we can bring along, provided you have enough private space.
