Interested to find out how coaching could work within your organisation and the benefits you may gain from engaging with a trained coach?

I’d like to introduce you to Dr Catherine Richards who is the principal of a local college, this is a little bit about her experience of bringing me into her organisation:

As well as being a powerful tool for individual clients, coaching is a great way to support staff in the workplace.  Businesses and organisations often go through periods of transition so it’s a good idea to check in with individual team members. Coaching is a great way to develop key skills and foster resilience so everyone can be their best possible selves and do their job effectively.

Before Coaching

Catherine is Principal of a medium sized sixth form college and coaching was recommended to her by someone who’d found it useful. Having some experience of mentoring and counselling, Catherine was keen to find a powerful way of supporting her staff with long lasting effects.

‘At the time the college had just been through a period of transition. I felt we needed an injection of energy.’

After getting a recommendation, Catherine became interested in my services.

‘When I met Emma, I could see she’s got a person-centred approach. I had an open mind and didn’t have a specific target I wanted to achieve. Although our results were continuing to go up each year, it was a case of, can we do even better? What can we do to look at things with a fresh approach?

Initially the primary focus was not about the college but about the individuals and the journeys we’d been on.’

Catherine decided to try a course of coaching with me along with two colleagues so they could assess its usefulness on a wider scale.

‘I didn’t want us to introduce something without being confident in what was involved. I also wanted a better understanding of what coaching means so I could talk to my staff about it. It’s important I’m confident something is worth doing before involving everyone.’

Business Owners and Executives

I also work with lots of business owners, being the leader of any business can be incredibly stressful and I find many business owners feel they don’t have a way to deal with those stresses, holding everything in, not having space to discuss news ideas, directions and concerns.  Read more about how working with me helped both Ben and John personally and within their respect businesses, finding balance, stepping into being a stronger leader and learning to delegate, plus that valuable skills of having boundaries and being able to say no.
