Want coaching? - The Talk Shop

What kind of coaching support are you looking for?

Professional support

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

Improve my leadership confidence and performance
Grow my skills and strategies to move tricky situations forward
Support me to manage change, resilience, survival in challenging environments
Grow my cultural capability and engagement through cultural supervision
Build performance in my team and manage poor performers up or out
Manage complex dynamics that immobilise me.

Personal support

Sometimes leaders request an element of personal support in our work together. This can include providing support for things like:

Exploring challenging life situations and being more resilient within them
Managing difficult emotions or personality traits more positively
Making life changes
Regaining hope and sparkle.

Team or Group Support

Sometime leaders request support to help their teams, whānau and communities talk. This can involve working alongside leaders to:

Develop teams
Facilitate whānau hui or family meetings
Run public talks or occasional workshops.

How does coaching 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 weekly sessions which can move to fortnightly if/when you are ready for that. Once you have achieved your objectives we move to a monthly maintenance support so you keep growing and have the support you need to stay on top.

Sessions are delivered on-line via Zoom or Skype and run for around an hour. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.

Alternatively you may want to select one of these options:

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 to achieve deep growth.

SUPERVISE ME

Ongoing regular monthly support to develop practice and competence.

How much does coaching cost?

Price is part of our initial conversation and depends on a number of factors such as who’s paying and the number of sessions sought. Let’s talk.

What I can tell you though is that I wont tie you into long-term coaching contracts enticed with a lot of hypy extras like special offers, video content or Facebook group activity. This is not the approach we take. We prefer a deep, 1:1 relationship-based approach. We focus on moving forward from wherever you are right now and offer strong cost:growth value per session.

I'm in. How do we get started?

We set up an online “meet and greet” session. There is no charge for this. You can use the email form or chat button below to contact me and set up this up.

This initial meeting is your chance to tell me 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.

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.

Please note there may be a wait list if all coaching slots are currently full.
