We believe that every individual is unique and has the right to be in a job that is personally fulfilling and enjoyable – what ever that measure might be. Achieving this will have a profoundly positive affect on the individual, their colleagues and the organisation. However, it is not always simple for the individual, the line manager or HR to achieve this and it can become a critical issue when people and organisations are faced with change, unrest, redundancy, talent management and retention issues.

Our flexible Career Enhancement Coaching Programme can provide the solution by offering a core programme that can be specifically adapted to suit all needs in different situations. For example:

• Fast starting individuals in role transitions or during Company induction.
• A respected employee misses promotion. The organisation wants to ensure that they are looked after and where possible, retained.
• An individual is happy in his/her role except for a major issue. Coaching can help them manage or cope with the cause of stress – making the difference between whether they leave or stay.
• Improving performance for high and low achievers.
• An individual reaching a 'Crossroads' in his/her career - unclear of what or where to go next.
• Redundancy situations when individuals require personal coaching as well as career coaching.

Benefits of the Programme

• Empowering the individual to take ownership and responsibility for their situation and career management in line with business needs.
• Helping build confidence and a realistic perspective – accepting what is in/out of their control.
• Setting SMART Goals and Action Plans against clear objectives to achieve results.
• Developing the mental and practical skills, attitude and behaviour that allows the individual to manage change and either play a positive and productive role in their current organisation or move on.
