Talent Coaching

‘Coaching is a development process whereby an individual meets on a regular basis to clarify goals, deal with potential stumbling blocks and improve their performance. It is an intervention that is highly personal and generally involves a one-on-one relationship between coach and client'
(Cummings & Worley, 2009)

We take a thorough inventory and this coupled with understanding an individual’s goals balanced with organisational needs, means we tailor a programme resulting in talented people growing exponentially.

Life Coaching

Using the same techniques, models and psychometric tools as executive coaching, it's an opportunity to explore your personal and life goals. To look deeper into how to define and achieve them and examine what stops you in the process. It's as valuable as any professional exploration, you use the same values, beliefs, skills, experience and knowledge. We explore the whole you, at any time, but usually when you have come to a crossroad or block, when you have big decisions and choices to make. You know the answers, but maybe don't know you do. A coach takes that alternative/external perspective, helping you make your thoughts and dreams a reality,

Finally I knew that her experience of the current job market was relevant to the industries I would be looking at.
