Performance

Everyone is familiar with the concept of performance coaching in sports and creative arts – whether at the level of the individual or that of the team.

Coaching can help you address specific challenges or be useful as an ongoing process – providing a detached perspective – supporting you or those around you to see the wood from the trees.

These challenges can be seen in two ways, there may be problems to be solved or goals to be achieved – coaching isn’t all about what’s going wrong, sometimes it’s about maximising our potential – how to make what’s going well go even better – complacency has a habit of creeping up on us unnoticed.

Individual Performance

At the level of the individual, how effective we are is influenced by every aspect of our lives, our relationships, our health, our beliefs about ourselves (and the people around us) – a good coach helps us see those things we’re simply too close to.

Team Performance

At the level of the team (for team read department, division, company) on top of the factors that effect us as individuals there are all sorts of group dynamics and roles at play. A lack of understanding of how groups and relationships develop and how to ease and allow that development can result in stuckness and, at worst, disintegration.

Often this results in scape-goating – but without addressing the underlying causes, getting rid of one scape-goat just leaves a vacancy that we will fill again and again and again….
