Why it’s a great idea

Traditionally, managers issued instructions, telling their teams what to do in order to hit targets. But the business world is changing. Now, managers need to be in tune with their team’s developmental needs. And that means integrating a coaching approach into their management style. Coaching is about asking thought-provoking questions, encouraging critical thinking and, in the process, guiding people towards finding answers for themselves.

The difference we can make

When managers know how to coach, they’re better able to help their teams realise their potential, achieve tasks and objectives and drive personal, team and business performance. They understand how to encourage people to think for themselves, thereby giving them the independence to look for solutions in a way that engages both critical and creative thinking. Research shows that abilities like these award businesses a competitive advantage. Coaching also increases diversity of thought and strategy as it empowers everyone to make a contribution.

How we move business into flow

Bespoke to your needs, our programmes can be delivered in a variety of ways. They generally involve case studies, role play, reflection and discussion. And they include workshops that allow delegates to practise coaching skills and/or group coaching. With group coaching, delegates coach their peers, are coached in turn, and have an experienced pressurepoint coach facilitating the session.
