When people are pulling together, business is great!
They achieve a common objective, communicate and understand each other. They feel a sense of purpose in their role and have the motivation and resources to achieve their potential,
Unfortunately the way people think can result in people and teams loosing motivation, underperforming their true potential or organisations loosing talented people who can't find fulfillment in their work.
It's such a waste!
FACT
The good news is that the talent specialist on the Great Coaching team has a track record of working with FTSE 100 companies, has been short listed for the Outstanding contribution to learning by WOLCE and has written various books including "Coaching for change" and "The essential guide to managing talent"
While Kay works at a strategic level to support development of strategies for talent retention or organisational development, the executive and career progression coaches also work with individuals and teams to coach them to grow, handle change and perform better in their roles. Good for the individuals and the business.
Questions for your organisation? If these apply, we can probably help and in a way that is different from many other types of intervention.
Recent developments in Neuro science and Quantum physics now explain why most people rebel like two years olds when you ask them to do something different, and why people fear the slightest change or use habitual thinking to hinder their own or their teams performance. This helps explain why many traditional approaches to managing people's behaviour just don't work.
The good news is that certain types of advanced solution focused coaching work brilliantly for both the individual's motivation and the organisations success. Unlike training or other means of trying to create behavioural change, pure coaching enables the participants to arrive at insights for themselves, literally creating new brain waves which are more likely to result in desired lasting change.

For the talent shapers in organisations who want to develop a talent strategy to engage employees with colleagues and clients in way that recognises employer brand and values and the fact that you get the talent you deserve.

"Working with Kaye has helped me focus and to set both short and long term personal goals and to give me objective feedback. She acts as a sounding board on day-to-day business and career decision-making and provides alternative support outside the working environment. Above all the relationship is built on chemistry and in a spirit of openness and trust".

For people whos performance is important, to enhance focus and increase resourcefulness, motivation and effectiveness in their role
.“I was considering leaving my role as senior account manager as my work life balance had never been worse and I was feeling de-motivated by promised shares in the company not materialising. Coaching enabled me to see the bigger perspective, enhance my delegation, management and selling skills, improve my own focus and performance in the areas I had been neglecting. The progress I made in key areas resulted in me getting the promise of shares agreed and a better work life balance”

Mark was promoted to head up database support for an international company. In addition to the challenge of juggling extra responsibilities with fewer resources and managing his peers, he inherited an un-addressed issue of a team member's suspect absenteeism. Through coaching, Mark became a better time manager and he gained confidence to lead his peers in his own style and deal appropriately with the unreliable person.
