WHY COACHING FOR YOUR SCHOOL

Our coaching programmes have helped to improve standards by:

  • Increasing individual performance, enabling the achievement of stretching targets within a supportive environment
  • Providing people with the motivation and confidence to step up to meet new challenges
  • Encouraging increased self-reliance and provision of mutual support
  • Raising morale even in difficult situations
  • People taking more ownership, commitment and accountability of their own decisions
  • Improving line management, interpersonal relationships , teamwork and problem resolution
  • Building support networks at low cost, across and beyond your organisations boundaries
  • Engaging the workforce and improving retention and recruitment  

WHY COACHING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

An atmosphere of good coaching enables staff to become more independent, capable and fulfilled - they feel more valued, supported, stretched and confident. They report: a greater sense of dignity; greatly increased motivation; deepening of commitment to their purpose; preference for collaboration; improved performance; a creative release that comes from knowing that they matter and that coaching can create productive time for them.

WHY COACHING FOR YOUR TEAMS AND PARTNER

Better teamwork and relationships across and beyond the organisation are fostered and the potential of all can be better realised. Innovative and workable solutions are generated and individuals take ownership and accountability for shared objectives and their own decisions.

 COACHING COURSE GOALS

During coaching the principle aim is to get participants to be coached and to coach each other on live work issues.  Within the context of school or departmental goals, targets and challenges, participants choose their own coaching topics.
