Corporate Coaching

This kind of coaching is a three way relationship where the sponsor (company or organisation) pays an external provider (i.e. a coach) to work with an employee on specific issues or concerns that have arisen. Typically these are focused on behavioural, attitudinal or skills based changes that are needed by the organisation following restructuring programmes; mergers/acquisitions; appointment to a new role for an executive or concerns over releasing or retaining members of staff.

Confidentiality is essential between coach and coachee and contracting with the coach occurs with this expectation agreed to and made explicit in any documentation. Clear objectives and appropriate outcomes for the engagement of the coach are also a prerequisite following discussions with all parties.

If you would like to have a discussion on any of the above please contact me by email or telephone Anji Marychurch, Director of Career Coaching Ltd on 01403 243321. Personal visits can also be arranged to suit both parties.

Are you an independent executive or small business owner who is considering hiring a coach to discuss your personal career aspirations and development needs?

Working with a career coach is a way to ensure that your own potential is not neglected in the day to day managing of a business. It’s a great way to honour your dreams and aspirations both on and beyond the job!

Concerns you might work on with a career coach include:

Professionals, business managers and small business owners all use career coaches to create the clarity they seek to make changes in their working lives.

A career coach is very skilled at facilitating effective career discussions in complete confidence, to enable you to make the right decisions at the right time in your career. Change brings a new energy that will benefit both you and your organisation.

What's your part of the deal?

You will need to be committed to the process and be willing, if necessary, to change your perspective on work, and the role it plays in your life. This way, you get to consciously choose, at every stage, for what and to whom you give your energies whilst remaining open to trying out new ways of being and doing.

What's my offer as your coach?

As a career coach you can expect me to have discussions with you about your current and future concerns in respect of your career goals and aspirations. Our discussions will be flexible yet focused on you.

Hiring me as your coach means you have a partner and an objective source for feedback and ideas. Additionally, my clients attest to the benefit of having a 'sounding board', and appreciate being held accountable on a regular basis for taking the actions we agree will move them forward.
