Benefits of Coaching for Corporate and Public Sector Organisations
Coaching is becoming increasingly popular in business and not just at senior level. As company structures become flatter and less hierarchical, the benefits of developing good coaching skills to grow and develop are becoming better understood. Management styles are changing and a more empowering approach is now expected by the younger generation. Developing good coaching skills for managers internally is a ‘must’ now for many business, but to facilitate more transformative, faster change, an independent coach is often necessary. This is partly due to expertise but also due to the purely objective role of the independent coach who is acting without agenda and only with the best interests of the client in mind.
Support through periods of change
Coaching is a great for supporting people through periods of change, especially when they are taking on a new role or dealing with a structural change. Employees are also looking for greater meaning and life satisfaction in their working lives and offering coaching is a great benefit for employees. It can improve well-being by allowing them to step back and see the wood from the trees.
Coaching support for working parents
I am especially passionate about supporting working parents and mothers returning to work after long periods of maternity leave (this equally applies to fathers in the same position). It can be a huge period of change in life that requires additional support with rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with working life, rebuilding networks and understanding new ways of working.
