Each day we are faced with the challenge of change

Coaching moves learning and development away from a one-to-many model
to a one-to-one model. This allows for customised, flexible and confidential
development of key players in the organisation. It presupposes that the
answer to the challenge lies within the person that requires the change.

"In an information-based economy, a company's most important asset is not its people, but the richness of the connections between its people" Dr Reuben McDaniel

Why coaching?

leadership coaching, training, presentation skills, public speaking, conflict, feedback, courses in wellingtion auckland and throughout new zealand Coaching helps people become more comfortable with new ways of leading and working. It provides the information, feedback, reflection and experience that give people the chance to explore whether their individual style of leading and working matches the realities or their environment.
Coaching is also a fit for a person who may have a very busy role that doesn’t give them enough time to participate in a group programme, or requires a high level of confidentiality that is required by senior management.
The coaching may work on overcoming a fear of public speaking, or working out how to influence key contacts, or finding ways to manage conflict.

Why use coaching rather than training?

Communicate has decades of experience providing training courses and know that generally they are designed to focus on the development of a specific skill. Training also works well when participants are at a similar level of development and have similar objective for the training program. This style of training does not provide the flexibility or focus on individual needs that coaching can provide.

How does the process work?

Coaching is a development process that involves helping the client to discover solutions to their issues. When an individual is involved in their own search for solutions they are generally much more committed to making change. As such coaching is a collaborative process.
Once goals have been established, coaching begins with discretion and confidentiality. Once coaching is completed, we stay in touch to ensure the process has produced the changes required.
