What is coaching?
Professional coaching is a dynamic, powerful and collaborative relationship between client and coach. Through this relationship clients are supported while they unleash their potential to identify and achieve personal and professional goals.
Coaching is being widely used by individuals who recognise they want something from or in their lives they don't currently have and know that having an alliance with a skilful and supportive coach gives them a greater chance of getting it.
Increasingly organisations are using professional coaches to further develop their staff, individually or in teams. In a climate of constant change, coaching helps deliver enhanced performance, goal realisation and an even greater satisfaction and contribution towards business success.
How does coaching work?
Through a relationship based on respect and trust, individuals are supported to clarify their issues and find their own solutions. The process is non-directive and developmental, encouraging clients to become more aware, unleash potential and increase their learning.
How is coaching used?
There are countless ways people are benefiting from working with a professional coach, here are just a few examples:
Changing direction/career development.
Developing confidence & becoming more assertive.
Managing stress or time.
Improving the balance between home & work.
Increasing motivation & productivity.
Improving communication & relationships.
Improving presentation & meeting skills.
Developing leadership & team building skills.
Training and Coaching
Another use of coaching in organisations is as an alternative or complement to traditional training programmes. Whilst training is different to coaching, in collaboration the two have proven benefits. Research conducted by the International Personnel Management Association showed that work related training improved productivity by 22.4%, while training plus coaching improved productivity by 88%.
At PCA we have coaches with wide ranging experience, expertise and qualifications, all committed to working ethically with clients.
We also train managers to develop their coaching skills.
