business coaching
What is personal business coaching?
A personal business coach does just what an athletics coach does, in an all-encompassing way. A coach is a partner, your supporter, and your challenger in helping you achieve what you want to achieve in your business arena. A coach is someone to hold you accountable and make sure you live up to your potential!
No serious athlete or performer would expect to progress very far without at least one or two coaches.
Your Cognitive Leadership coach can be the eyes and ears to the outside world, the business environment and to spot trends in your organisation or personal development. We are unaffected by company politics and distanced enough to provide unbiased advice on business decisions. So what are the benefits?
It is sustainable development process rather than a 'one hit' approach enabling managers to receive regular feedback and see improvement or difference immediately. These 'quick wins' act as positive reinforcement to the whole process and continuously encourages managers to experiment!
- Coaching sessions enable busy line managers to devote a small period of time to themselves and their development.
- It provides an opportunity to 'step back' and look at the bigger picture as all too often we are caught up in the 'thick of things'
- It focuses on the managers real issues in real time - it differs from the more traditional 'off the job' development in that it does not provide abstract the theory or concepts - it is practical and grounded!
- It is really personal - no two coaching sessions are the same as the agenda for the coaching discussion is set by the manager and not the coach.
- It enables real action to occur
- It enables managers to make 'informed' decisions through reflection, discovery and connection. As a general rule the coach does not provide solutions, although where appropriate the coach may offer details of their own business experiences.
- It is energising and refreshing!
Our Relationship
You and your Cognitive Leadership coach are partners! - we will listen to you, make suggestions, point out connections, share some powerful tools and focus on what is important to you. Together we will identify, discuss and agree the changes you want and support you in achieving your targets. We will not tell you what to do as we are not the experts in your area but you are. We will help you to manage the joint process of reflection and challenge and to see what is really happening relating to process, personal style or behaviour.
