Coaching and Mentoring
Working with Jerry was a real pleasure. The value for me was his ability to listen to what I said (and what I didn’t say), think about it and formulate the right challenges and questions to help me grow. As a result, my self-awareness increased considerably and I was able to take braver actions than I would otherwise have considered.
You can only do so much with training courses. You can teach processes and skills, but often extremely competent people find they have reached a sticking-point in their personal or professional development. Perhaps:
your team isn’t working the way it should
you find it hard to influence decisions
you put off the kinds of work or conversation you find difficult
you find that your trusted skills are no longer the answer to the challenges you face
you may have reached a plateau in your career, or be frustrated with your lack of progress in a specific work area or in your personal life
Coaching can help take individuals and teams to the next level. Through a structured, professional process focused on clear goals over a relatively short time-frame, using tools developed, selected and applied specifically to each situation, and backed up by reliable, committed and positive support, coaching can help you clarify your needs, address them and find greater fulfillment and success.
Mentoring provides a safe space for reflection in the midst of a sometimes frenetic life; a chance to pause, to reset your priorities and to move ahead, generally developing a rhythm over a longer time-frame.
In practice, many interventions work across the coach-mentoring spectrum. perception can offer individually tailored packages for limited time frames (say, six months support, including six face to face meetings, along with email and telephone support), or a more open-ended approach.
perception’s mission is to provide high quality coaching, mentoring and team development to all kinds of individuals and organisations. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, because each person is unique; so when we design interventions, we stick to the following principles:
perception: the individual
Potential is always greater than current performance: we can all grow and develop
Change begins with awareness: we can’t grow if we don’t grow in self-understanding
Motivation comes from within: we are responsible for our own lives
Each person is a unity: change in one area of life affects all areas
perception enables individuals to develop so that they are more self-aware, more flexible, and better able to manage themselves, their roles and their relationships, and more confident in their true abilities and potential.
perception: the context
Each person affects others: change in one person affects the whole team or organisation
Structures, relationships and teams support or inhibit growth and performance: organisations can grow and develop, and cultures can be changed
Personal circumstances affect professional performance: organisations benefit from taking a whole-life approach with their people
perception develops a context for coaching which matches clarity of expectation with empathy so that the individual is both supported and appropriately challenged.
perception: business values
Integrity, approachability, professionalism
Responsiveness to individual needs
Commitment to the European Mentoring and Coaching Council’s Ethics and Diversity Policy
Affordability and value for all sectors and individuals
There’s lots that can be done; but we won’t saddle you with expensive or inappropriate techniques and processes and won’t claim to be able to do things that someone else can do better.
Coaching and Mentoring is designed to support individuals in the development of knowledge of professional coaching, helping them to understand the core requirements for effective coaching practice.
If you want your workforce to be made up of employees who do more than just punch in and punch out, you need to invest in coaching skills training. When employees feel heard and encouraged, there is no limit to the success they can achieve at work.
Coaching and Mentoring are increasingly used in business as part of Learning and Development strategies to support the skills development of the workforce.
This apprenticeship is ideal if you want to develop your coaching skills within an organisational context. This might be as a dedicated coach, a team leader or manager, trainer, or teacher.
Coaching and mentoring skills help us bring out the best in ourselves and others. When staff learn to be receptive to self awareness, they are capable of positively contributing to the teams with suggestions, proactive behaviour and beneficial solutions.
