Business coaching
“Inside every seed is the potential for an incredible harvest.”
Farrah Gray
What is business coaching?
Through a business coaching program, my mission is to contribute to the growth and success of an organization by supporting individuals in achieving the results that are important to their personal success and the long-term success of the organization. The overall goal of this coaching process is to help employees tap into their full potential so they can go through and grow through internal and external challenges and find constructive ways to regain their ‘powerhouse’ as I call it, flourish and grow as professionals. At the same time, I believe in empowering people to bring their whole selves to the workplace so that they can work authentically and with purpose within the organization. The employee benefits from it and so does the company. It is a win-win situation.
Who can benefit from a business coaching program?
A business coaching program can support employees going through and growing through significant transitions including:
- Employees who experience challenges/setbacks going through a promotion or change of roles within the organization.
- Employees who need support during re-integration to work, after a period of absence.
- Employees who are working in a changing environment and feel a bit lost in the midst of company changes.
- Employees who have been made redundant and need support with outplacement.
- Employees who are currently disengaged in their role or in the company. Burnout prevention.
- Employees who need support with creating a healthy work life balance.
- Employees who have desire to improve their performance to the next level.
My Coaching approach
My role as a coach is to act as an agent of change and to support individuals to stretch into their best selves. With my coaching skills and expertise, and almost a decade of experience managing extremely successful and high-performing teams, I help individuals to bring their best version of themselves to the table in order to overcome challenges that keep them disengaged, stuck or self-doubting.
To do that, we engage in a coaching program where I hold space that facilitates reflection, self-awareness and new learning. Where I challenge individuals to shift perspectives, and provide them with a process and support so they feel empowered to make and sustain change. Empowerment and self-confidence are at the core of my coaching programs. I introduce a variety of self-awareness exercises and behavioural practices to support the process. I take the necessary time to understand the company’s vision, values, mission and current challenges to get a clear picture of the framework I need to work within.
With Integrity, professionalism and great passion and care, I put your organization and their employees at the heart of my work and I strive for a collaborative, successful and meaningful partnership.
“Together everyone achieves more.”
