Perception Development

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.
