Coaching for Managers

Coaching for Managers

This service is offered to both newly promoted and experienced account directors and managers, as well as inhouse PR and communications managers.

 

Why coaching?

-        Coaching gives account leaders the opportunity to take time out to think about how they want to behave as a manager so that they can get the best out of themselves and their teams

-        It encourages them to focus on the strategic and longer term, find their own solutions to challenges and unblock barriers to success.

-        Through supportive and probing questioning using a process that is all about empowering people to set and achieve new goals, managers will benefit from improved self-confidence and clarity about what steps to take to achieve positive change.

Each coaching programme will be designed to suit the needs of the individual. We normally recommend between 3 and 12 one hour Skype sessions with at least one week in between.

Training theory

“I practise what I preach so my workshops are highly interactive, with lots of opportunity for delegates to try out coaching techniques and see what works best for them.I adopt a down-to-earth approach sharing what works for me and why, based on my coach training and first-hand experience of what it’s like working in a frenetic PR team.Delegates leave having set a new goal with next steps action plan and a toolkit enabling them to put their learning into practice as soon as they return to work.
