What is coaching?

• Coaching brings the objectivity and creates that “thinking space” for you to harness and sharpen those skills to solve the challenges you have to face in your own way – just better!

• Coaching isn’t about a soft “counselling” type approach; it is highly practical and very much focused on creating long term solutions for the future.

 How does it work?

• We will work with you to develop strategies for achieving your goal and eliminating the waste from your work allowing you to focus on what’s truly important to you and your business.

• Most importantly, because every person is different and therefore every business is different, the solution will be yours and not ours. It will truly match your style and personality.

• Depending on your visions and style, sessions can be planned as a full day, half day or shorter regular sessions either face to face or by phone.

 Who should take part?

• All of those who have an impact in taking the business towards the vision.

• It may be that different members of the business are involved at relevant stages. Usual options are:

  • 1-2-1 coaching – Getting you to the top of your game using your own goals, visions and individual style. Where the business vision is an individual one and the solution will be driven by you.

  • Team coaching – Whether a new team, new project or simply a desire to perform even better. This is incredibly useful to ensure synergy within the team to achieve a common goal. It ensures “buy in” to the goal and that all skills within the team are being used to full potential. It is also incredibly motivating and a motivated team obviously performs better. 

  • Change facilitation – Is there a need for the business to change to face new challenges from outside? If so, this brings a whole new set of challenges around culture, motivation and communication. Coaching is ideally suited to help you work your way through any transformation whilst still keeping to your own individual style.

What will it give you?

• A long term solution will be created that becomes part of your organisation so that it is embedded in the business rather than being “something we do because we’ve been told we should”.

• You will find hidden skills and talents either within yourself or your workforce.

• Achievement of your business vision!

Testimonial

My coaching with Michaela has helped me to focus more on my business. She helped me realise that I could not keep working long hours at low paid work and not spending the necessary time on developing my business and expect the business to thrive. She also helped me with time management issues as well as some personal problems I had at the time. During my sessions, I felt that I could be completely open and the way that Michaela asked me to look within myself for the answers I needed, meant I came away from each session feeling empowered and able to make the differences I needed for myself. I found Michaela very approachable, logical and able to convey her questions and ideas very well. I have definitely benefited from my coaching sessions as I feel much more in order with my business, I have made lots of progress on my “to do” list and I am a lot more happy and confident in my ability to go forward and develop a successful business.
