Thinking About Coaching?

Leadership Skills: Research suggests the top three leadership skills for the future are communication, collaboration, and coaching. These skills are integral to Emotional Intelligence (EI), which helps leaders perform at their best. Without a strong foundation of trust, communication, collaboration, and coaching, leaders risk directing instead of empowering their teams.

Manager Influence: Managers significantly influence their team’s climate. Gallup reports that managers have 70% influence over their team’s environment. High-performing leaders create committed teams. By investing in coaching, organisations can increase the number of exceptional leaders, leading to a stronger overall impact.

From “Good” to “Great”: Just as professional athletes benefit from focused training, leaders and managers can become even better with coaching. Leaders in the top 5% have 76% highly committed employees, compared to 54% for leaders in the top 10%. Coaching bridges the gap and propels leaders.

Psychological Capital: Coaching works by enhancing psychological capital. It changes behaviour by encouraging and enabling depth of thought, resources, tools, motivation, and accountability. Rather than being distracted by urgent matters, coaching encourages a  focus on what matters.

Personal Vision: A coach serves as your partner, helping you reach your best vision for yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or an emerging one, coaching helps you align your goals, resources, and motivation, helping you develop and progress.

So, if coaching is on your mind, don’t hesitate—seize the opportunity and embark on this transformative journey!
