Coaching & Mentoring Support

Our consultants use a range of tools and techniques to help people explore issues from different angles, gaining new insights and perspectives. We adopt approaches that work with the preferred styles of individuals and that build confidence and capacity working from strengths and potential.

Developmental Coaching

This Coaching is for managers where particular issues have been identified either through appraisal or through feedback where improvements need to be made in order to develop the skill base of the manager.

Team Coaching

Team coaching is a synthesis of executive coaching and team development. It is a process in which the whole team works with a coach to develop greater awareness of themselves and their effectiveness as a team within the context of their organisation, in order to more effectively serve their stakeholders.

Essential Interpersonal Skills

Do some of your managers find the ‘people’ aspects of their roles most challenging? Are their interpersonal leadership skills sometimes lacking? Do they ever avoid ‘people problems’ so that they build up into bigger, messy situations?

Our workshops are tried and tested with managers at all levels, including executive leadership teams.

Women in Leadership

We have been providing Birmingham City Council's 'Advancing Women in the Workplace' programme since 2011.

Action Learning

Senior managers work together on strategic issues in a supportive environment, using an innovative networking approach supported by a skilled action learning facilitator. We also offer inter-agency Action Learning Sets to support working together across agencies. These sets enable managers to obtain new perspectives on the challenges facing them and to develop their understanding of the management problems facing colleagues in other agencies. This can also work well across multi-disciplinary teams. 

Board & Leadership 360 Appraisal

Reliable data about strengths and gaps is the best starting point for any development activity. We can support the design, administration and feedback from a range of 360 appraisal tools and approaches ranging from web based questionnaires, through to telephone or face to face structured interviews using a tailored framework based on your organisation’s values and desired leadership behaviours.
