One-to-One Performance Coaching

Your key staff sometimes need to adapt quickly, to stretch, to master new skills.
Coaching is one process that can expand their comfort zone.

Through coaching they can master communication skills, influencing and motivational skills and develop more awareness of their impact within your organisation.

Use personalised assessments: Behavioural Styles or DISC Analysis is a key tool to understand personal communication, effective team building, deliver feedback and achieve goals.

When you're ready to change, coaching works.

You clarify your goals, focus on solutions, decide to take action - starting now!

Working with a Coach you learn to access your innate creativity, stretch yourself, try something different. You hold yourself accountable for making decisions and taking actions. You make sure each day takes you closer to your goal.

Where would you like to start?
We will work exclusively on your agenda. You might know exactly where you want to focus or you may want to try a few assessments to identify priority areas for our work together. I can suggest the best tools for you.

During a session you will identify clear, measurable targets for your own personal goals. These will be ambitious but achievable.

Working with a coach gives you focus and a source of unfailing support- they will encourage you, challenge you, be an impartial sounding board and hold you accountable for your progress.

We can use techniques to remove limiting beliefs, burst through the fears that are holding you back, create an environment where you just love to succeed.

 

Don't know where to start? 

By enrolling on a more structured programme you will really clarify your personal values and motivators. These are the things that are most important to you - they guide your decisions and shape your path through life. In addition, choose 3 modules from the menu to create your own, gourmet coaching experience.

Coaching Menu:

  • Identifying personal/professional priorities
  • Set compelling goals - personal and professional
  • Dealing with stress
  • Prioritising time/life management
  • Taming the inner critic
  • Developing attitudes that bring success
  • Key communication skills
  • Balancing work, rest and play

This focus on personal growth and balance will produce measurable changes in your quality of life, professional performance and personal satisfaction.

Professional training as a Coach combined with personal experience within University and Research Institute environments as a Resercher and Senior Academic gives me real insight into your needs.

But don't just take my word for it:

I have to tell you that I don't sleep well the night of the call!
I thought that tea, coffee and chocolate were to blame but it's simply that my head is buzzing.
Last night I just had to get out of bed and make a to-do-list, just of the things we had discussed.

quoteI would like to say how much I appreciated the day.
Dr Margaret Collins was extremely motivating and ran a very enjoyable and informative session. I can truthfully say that I have never attended a better course, either here or in the many years I have worked in the commercial sector.
I hope that she will run many further sessions for us in the future.
