1-2-1 Coaching
Leading Thinking in Executive Productivity
“Although I was initially uncertain about the benefits of coaching I have found the experience hugely beneficial. Sound advice on practical techniques and the availability of a totally confidential, non-judgmental ‘sounding board’ to discuss critical issues which has greatly eased my transition into a senior managerial role. After nine months of coaching I have become clearly focused on my priorities and objectives for the future, both professional and personal, and how to achieve them.”
Dave Hollingsworth, Director BWB Consulting Engineers
Are you a leader in the UK construction sector?
Are you struggling to get results or bouncing against a barrier that you cannot break through?
Are you becomming aware that your technical expertise is becomming less relevant whilst your behaviours and habits are increasing in there impact? Some of that impact you notice, is not helpful, not moving you towards your goals?
Well, what I do is coach, consult and train construction leaders & proprietors in the proven strategies that create more profit, in less time - with less effort.
The Problem. Are you...?
- putting in to many hours for too little result - professionally and personally?
- feeling limited by the 'stuff' that got you to where you are now... but increasingly you notice that what got to where you are now, is is not going to get where you want to be next?
- still doing the work instead of leading the team?
- convinced there is an easier way to get more of what you want; time, money, equilibrium, enjoyment - but you can't see it yet?
- a smart kiddy and you want to stay that way - ahead of the game no less?
- looking to break through an existing success level at which you have plateaued, and need some strategies, direction and push to get there?
- ready to generate more profit or opportunity and put in fewer hours per week, fewer weeks per year?
- wanting a life - not just a job?
- wanting to rediscover the enthusiasm you once had for your business or career?
The Solution
- Create a compelling plan of action.
- Plan the time to plan.
- Lead a championship support team.
- Focus on your unique abilities and leadership.
- Deliver 'business class' service and grow by referral.
- Maintain balance between work, rest and play.
Why Coaching Works
Coaching works because people get much more done when they have someone calling them to account, challenging their inertia and pointing the way through blind spots. Unlike, colleagues, friends or family a Coach has the time, skill and experience to give each client exactly what he or she need at their specific level of play.
Approaches
Performance Coaching - Clients hire me to significantly improve the results and fulfilment they get from their job. They are interested in working more productively with greater emphasis on their strengths. They are interested in having a life not just a job. They are interested in checking out that they are not missing something obvious in terms of the own focus and success. They are interested in making transitions with more success and less wasted effort. They are open to alternatives on how to handle the day to day challenges.
The Behavioural Approach
I first get an agreement with our coaching clients and their managers on two key variables: 1) what are the key behaviours that will make the biggest positive change in increased leadership effectiveness and 2) who are the key stakeholders that should determine (6-12 months later) if this change has occurred.
The Value of Behavioural Coaching for Executives
People often ask, "Can executives really change their behaviour?" The answer is definitely yes. If they didn't change, I would never get paid (and I almost always get paid). At the top of major organisations even a small positive change in behavior can have a big impact. From an organisational perspective, the fact that the executive is trying to change anything (and is being a role model for personal development) may be even more important than what the executive is trying to change. With top executives, behaviour may be the only leadership attribute that can be changed in a cost-effective manner. At that level it is usually "too late" for technical or functional education.
The Next Step
Contact Paul on 0870 7501972 - after a discussion to establish that he can support what you want, you'll be offered a complimentary coaching session so you can find out if coaching, and Paul as your coach, are right for you. The idea is you get to try coaching before you part with a penny. After the taster session, you will both discuss your experience and what might be the next best step for you.
