Coaching in the Workplace
Work It Out! Programme - Implement Coaching In the Workplace
The Focus
One of the biggest challenges for business managers is low productivity and motivation of staff, so how do you get employees motivated and focused on taking action to achieve more? We believe the answer lies in coaching. We assist managers to implement a coaching programme to change the way their company and team works. Coaching focuses on harnessing the personal ambitions and motivations of team members and encourages personal accountability and responsibility to help the whole company take new strides to success.

Our training can be non-accredited or accredited with an ILM Qualification Coaching in the Workplace.

“The course was great and the trainer was absolutely brilliant. The course was so relevant and useful, underpinning what we as an organisation believe about a coaching management style that I’ve recommended that our Chief Executive and colleagues attend the course too. I was really impressed that I learnt new things and new ways of doing things. I thought it was fantastic and I’ve even decided to continue to keep training in coaching and reading more on the discipline. I first approached coaching as a way of being, but what I also picked up were valuable tools that I could use to positively impact the people around me – whether it’s staff or clients. I’ve seen the power that coaching brings to my management style. The other day, I used it during a conversation with a staff member and they went away really pleased about themselves, because they were able to come up with the solution to a problem themselves. Coaching is really empowering. Sometimes, you have to be directorial in approach, but coaching lends itself well to all sorts of situations. I’d recommend the Coaching Skills course any day!”

“A great deal is packed into the course and it enables you to pick the tools that fit the individuals you are working with rather than having a one set fits all. The course tutor has been amazing at answering all the questions both on theories and questions that arise from experience when I have got stuck. My team has responded well to the new tool box of coaching skills I have. I now find myself coaching them rather than telling them the answers.This has seen their confidence grow and resulted in me finding myself with more time, having had greater success at delegating items as they apply their skills and confidence to other tasks with greater ease.”
