We work with people who want to make their business grow
How it works
We start with a diagnostic stage to clarify the objectives for coaching. This may include a review of available material or comissioning additional psychometrics, interviews with colleagues, shadowing or a 360 survey.
Coaching is available in different formats:
- Face-to-face sessions lastings 2 hours each with unlimited access by e-mail and phone in between sessions
- Weekly half-hour telephone sessions with unlimited access by e-mail and phone in between sessions
- Some combination of the above
In an instance where a manager wanted a direct report to be coached, a typical programme of 10 face-to-face sessions could look like this.
