Considering coaching? - The Talk Shop

We build leader performance through coaching or supervision

Senior leaders, mid-career leader/managers and key staff engage in 1:1 professional support to achieve development objectives like these:

Improve my leadership confidence and performance
Grow my skills and strategies to lead through complex situations and overwhelming volume
Manage change, resilience, survival in challenging environments more effectively
Grow cultural capability and engagement
Build performance in your team
Manage poor performers up or out
Address racism in the workplace
Progress career development
Develop leadership presence, influence or gravitas

We can work with the teams of the leaders that we engage with.

Sometime leaders request our help to work with their teams, whānau or communities to:

Develop teams
Koorero through complex issues
Facilitation of strategic planning
Facilitation of key events
Interventions between team members
Support for staff during exit, restructuring or acting arrangements.

How does it work?

Regular sessions are essential to deliver the growth you are looking for. If the sessions are too few, or too far apart, coaching is unlikely to be effective in the long run.

To make a strong start coaching generally begins with fortnightly sessions to focus in. Once you have achieved your objectives you have the option to move to a monthly maintenance support so you stay on top and embed performance gains.

Sessions are delivered on-line via Zoom or TEAMS and run for around an hour. Options include:

ONE AND WE'RE DONE

1 session to take a look at something specific.

DIG DEEP

A series of 4 sessions to dig deep into an immediate, pressing issue.

WALK WITH ME

Regular coaching support for 6 or 12 months for deep growth.

SUPERVISE ME

Ongoing monthly support to maintain practice

I'm keen - how do I get started?

Set up an online whanaungatanga/meet and greet session. There is no charge for this. Use the email form below to request this.

This initial meeting is your chance to tell me what about the professional support you are seeking, what you are looking for in a coach and what you want to achieve through coaching. During this conversation you and I will gauge if we would like to work together. Fit is important for optimal coaching.

If we are each comfortable to proceed, we enter a simple coaching agreement that clarifies what you want to achieve, each of our roles and expectations, terms and conditions. Once that’s sorted, we schedule our sessions and get into it.
