Creation of Direction in Your Business
Coaching Venue
This is often best done off site from a Client’s workplace and a suitable venue would be agreed with you in advance.
Initial Consultation - Free
Initial Session
If you are new to coaching I will share in more detail what coaching is and what it’s not, and our respective responsibilities in the relationship and how we will evaluate the coaching.
We would then look in depth at what you are hoping to achieve, establish clear goals and start to create a path to get there. At the end of the session we would agree the right number of sessions to help you achieve your goals and then we would both sign a coaching contract which records this and states our respective responsibilities.
Following this session I would write up a record of the coaching session which will provide a summary of the areas covered, goals established and actions agreed.
As appropriate I would develop an outline coaching programme, with suggested areas to tackle at forthcoming sessions and activities, e.g. Psychometric Assessments, requests for 360 feedback, to be undertaken in between sessions.
Subsequent Sessions
At subsequent sessions we will look at how you have progressed since your initial session. While recognising a programme or goals will have been agreed, each session will be driven by you and your needs on the day which we would address, reflect how they sit with what has already been agreed and as necessary make and agree any changes to your goals/programme/coaching contact.
If you have any questions between coaching sessions I am available for short e-mail questions.
Between Sessions - Telephone Coaching
Psychometric Assessments
Types of assessment I can generate reports for include:
- Dimensions – measure of personality
- Elements – verbal, numerical and logical reasoning
- Drives – measure of values and motivation
- Aspects – competency and ability screening for entry level positions
- MultiView – 360 degree feedback aligned to Dimensions
