Coaching

Coaching has been used for decades in business and now takes a particularly important role in helping develop leadership and people management competencies.

 

Coaching is a dynamic conversation that is geared towards exploring 'stuck' thinking and finding solutions.  At its heart, coaching is a process where questions are asked by a coach that raises awareness within the individual about why they are stuck and how to generate positive and productive behaviours.

 

Great coaching relies on a relationship of trust and mutual respect.  The relationship between the coach and the client is paramount in achieving the changes needed.

 

Unlike mentoring or training, the coach rarely brings expertise or contextual knowledge.  Rather, the coach facilitates a process of inquiry, guiding the client to a deeper understanding of their situation and, subsequently, co-creating with the coach viable and measurable steps forward. It is precisely this non-judgemental, free from bias approach that allows the client to grow. Coaching helps someone change from the inside out.

NLP

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) utilises the inks between our thoughts, emotions, body sensations, language and behaviours. It's like a user manual for your mind, helping you understand how your mind works and how you can use it to create positive change in your life.

 

As a behavioural modelling tool, NLP involves studying the patterns and strategies used by successful individuals in order to replicate their success.

 

By becoming aware of the many patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving we use (mostly out of awareness) we can make conscious changes to improve our communication, our inner, 'self talk', overcome challenges and achieve our goals.

 

NLP techniques can be used to enhance personal development, improve relationships, boost confidence, and improve your performance at work. It's all about reprogramming your mind to think and act in more empowering ways.

Multiple Braining Integration Techniques

mBIT Coaching

mBIT stands for 'multiple braining integration techniques'.

​

Did you know that you have more than one brain?

 

Decades of research (let alone a few thousand years of ancient wisdom) has confirmed that we have three brains: one in our head, one in our heart and one in our gut, each providing unique and interdependent functions.

 

Given the increasingly 'VUCA" world, where uncertainty and volatility is more and more common, we all need to develop greater wisdom and more flexible ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.  Whether in business or as an individual, using only our head brain is going to limit our potentials and restrict our capabilities to grow and perform to our best. mBIT coaching helps to create a more cohesive and integrated response to the increasing challenges we find at work and in life generally.

Leading Teams with Kindness

Time and again, it has been proven that we get the best out of people when we are kind.  Sometimes people behave in ways that are far from how we would like - both in business and in our personal lives. 

​

A kind and compassionate response to people's behaviour is required if we are going to unlock their full potential.

 

Driving every behaviour is a positive intention: to be accepted, appreciated, understood, to feel safe, to belong, to be allowed to be creative; all of these are innate traits of human beings.  If these needs are shut down, through repsonses of ridicule, anger or panic, shame and guilt arise for that individual and they begin to perform worse, disengage and dilute their personal investment in their role. 

 

Kindness in business is often misunderstood. Being kind includes: telling people the truth, equipping them with the right tools and knowledge to do their job, selecting them for roles and tasks that they are suited for and encouraging them to contribute beyond the limitations of their role. And much more. Above all, it's about nurturing a culture of authenticity and appreciation.
