Are your managers missing these coaching tricks?

Executives and managers too often fail to get the best from their staff. They don't have much spare time and are looking for something fast, effective and guaranteed.

They know they need better results and are astute enough to appreciate that coaching may be the answer.

They are ready to make changes, even if they don't yet know what they are. They are intelligent, success-driven and willing to work hard.

But... they don't know exactly where to find the answer. Like many others, they wonder about training, consultancy, extra effort, or coaching.

The choice

So, what to choose from all the competing, helpful claims? And if coaching is the answer, what sort of coaching and which particular approach will best fit your circumstances?

Anyone in this position can benefit by considering a programme of solutions-focused coaching.

Through intensive personal and group coaching, you learn how to become a coach yourself. You discover your innate coaching skills, and apply them with a set of new tools, techniques and tips to your current business issues.

Skills needed

Here's what we have found: Whether it's in the pressured world of finance, the expert zone of high-tech industry or in a fast-moving information environment, technical specialists have been promoted into managerial and executive roles without being taught how to coach. And they aren't getting the results they need or are capable of achieving.

After working with us, they make immediate changes - talking to their staff differently to get better results straight away.

Essentially, they start getting what they want, with a lot less pain. They use a proven, pragmatic set of coaching tools, ready to apply in many situations. They save time, have higher quality conversations, and get their messages across for more effectively.

They also get more compliance, as people in their teams begin to support and encourage each other. Backbiting and unhealthy competition are replaced with co-operation and initiative.

The Solution

Our programmes are designed by Paul Z Jackson, co-author of The Solutions Focus - the SIMPLE way to positive change. His top-rated coaching courses are among the first to bring the radical solutions-focus approach into business organisations.

People who enjoy sport particularly enjoy working with us, as the programme features plenty of physical activity. Our team includes a top professional Tennis and Solutions Coach. Not only will you learn to coach in different contexts, the bonus is that you'll improve your tennis too.

Here's what Jonathan Brown, Procter & Gamble's UK Learning and Development chief, says about Paul's programme design and delivery:

"Exceptional content mastery and technical execution."
