HOW YOUR BUSINESS WILL BENEFIT
Although every individual, and organisation, is unique, experience has taught us that certain themes frequently arise, which coaching is able to address:
- Communication and inter-personal relationships
- Conflict with colleagues or clients
- Work load, time-management and delegation (and ofter all 3!)
- Lack of clarity around expectations
- Confidence
The benefits you can expect, through using an external (as opposed to in-house) coach include:
- Improved staff morale and retention
- Reduced staff absences, by addressing the work/life balance
- Improved communication by using a coaching approach to problem solving
- Empowering employees to pro-actively resolve issues which are affecting the team's performance
- Improved performance through goal-setting, planning and prioritising
- Increased productivity, directly affecting the bottom-line of your business
- Improved decision-making on a daily basis
A study of 1000 companies using Executive coaches, reported the following findings:
- 77% reported improved working relationships
- 67% reported an improvement in team work
- 53% reported increased productivity
- 52% reported a reduction in conflict
- 32% reported an increase in retention of senior staff
A separate study carried out by the International Coaching Federation, which surveyed 11,000 corporate coaching clients, found that a staggering 98.5% said that their investment, regardless of what it cost, was "well worth it"!
Much of Tracey's coaching focusses on raising self-awareness, enabling clients to make significant changes in behaviour, often with dramatic effect.
As Robin Sharma, author of "The Greatness Guide" said,
"Self-awareness precedes choice, and choice precedes results."
Until we are really aware of the impact our actions have, how can we make choices which will positively improve our performance? The process of increasing our self awareness, through candid feedback can be uncomfortable at times. However, the ability to adapt our behaviour and thereby our impact on others, is key to leadership.
