Leadership Coaching
Are your managers getting too involved in the day to day routine?
You have unhappy - de-motivated teams and the staff feel micro-managed by managers whose predominant style is to leap in to rescue the situation.
You know coaching is important but there just isn't enough time to change the style of working.
Does this sound all too familiar?
You want managers to take responsibility for their subordinates; they need to drive up performance by empowering and developing the people who work for them. They are moving up the talent-pipeline but don't understand how to bridge the gap from managing self to managing others and then to managing managers.
You know where you want to get to….But you don't know how to get there.
our organisation wants to create a leadership culture rather than a management culture; Coaching is seen to be a key element of this. You want to move from being a directive organisation to an engaged one that will free up untapped capability, so that people feel more fulfilled. Perhaps you can't do much about work-life balance but your vision is that people can feel more empowered in the work-place. You want your managers to believe in Coaching as a core leadership competence.

"The best coaches are those that achieve insight and results without direct intervention or manipulation. To develop a part of the body while looking after the well being of the whole is neither a science nor an art form - it's a gift. Both these qualities are to be found in abundance with ChangeMaker and its enthusiastic team. I have grown personally and seen my team flourish through team and personal coaching sessions - the best 100 days ever!" Alan Hall Director of Service for BT Ireland
Our style models "best coaching practice".
"I highly recommend ChangeMaker to any manager wanting to develop practical coaching skills that really work in a business environment. Learning in a very experiential way really helped me to develop my coaching skills and a good number of the concepts I continue to use – which in my experience is unusual for a training programme!. I regularly coach others within the business and apply the skills I have learnt to help them move forward. The follow-up day really helped to refresh and embed my learning still further." Chris Clacey Business Manager Sun Microsystems
