Why This Type of Learning?

• Its regular nature requires a concerted commitment to learning and development that can not be achieved by attending a one-week, one-off, residential programme.
• This type of learning is more focused, supportive and, ultimately more permanent in its effect than formal, classroom-based training programmes.
• It will to draw out the theory already absorbed through other learnings, mix it with real life experience and, through careful questioning and coaching, turn insight into knowledge and then into positive action.

• Each programme deals will real, "here and now" issues, and so can show immediate returns on the investment of time and money. This delivers practical results, not just an understanding of management theory.
• Each session concludes with the development of concrete action plans that individuals contract to implement.
• One-to-one coaching with an impartial outsider gives an opportunity for frankness and openness that can only rarely be provided within a company.
• Managers are asked to confront the recurring blocks with which they sabotage their own and others' success. This is done in a supportive way.

• To ensure that priorities are clear and are the focus of activity, both within and outside work
• To determine the measures of success in all aspects of the coachee's life in order that rates of progress can be noticed and worked on
• To identify the conscious and subconscious blocks to action, offering a structured coaching process to help break through barriers that are blocking the achievement of these important things
• To create a personal list of “rules for winning”, a reflection of what works best for the individual in order that the learning can be maintained
• To provide an independent and impartial sounding board against which the coachee can explore their experiences in taking action, and in consequence, be aware of their learning and development as managers and leaders
• Encourage the notion of "continuous professional and personal development" within and beyond the programme

• To achieve a greater sense of balance and fulfillment within the coachee's life, with a subsequent reduction in stress

Structure

• The programme is in the form of six to ten sessions, run at 6-8 week intervals. Each session would be planned for 2½ to 4 hours in length.
• Each session would be held at suitable, private venue, this can be the client's office, however, a process such as this frequently benefits from being run off-site.
• There is an option of a written report at the end of each session that the coachee can request as part of their programme.
• Telephone consultation is available at no extra charge during the programme, if the coachee requires specific help on an issue in between sessions.
