Coaching
Karen's philosophy of coaching is to guide individuals towards their
own
solutions. Where appropriate, she adopts a mentoring/training
approach to input skills or experience which may help the coachee in
progressing towards achieving agreed upon objectives.
Karen adopts the following approach to working with coaching clients
- Establish clear coaching outcomes with the client in order to
be able to measure what has been achieved at the end of the
intervention.
- Build a preliminary understanding of the industry and
company/division.
- Confirm who will be coached, their specific needs (at an
intake session with the coachee) and whether they are committed to
being coached.
- Sign a coaching contract with the coachee(s), detailing
session timing, confidentiality and cancellations
conditions.
- Commence the programme and provide a preliminary feedback
session to the client half way through the programme.
- Conclude the intervention and report back to the client on
outcomes achieved and any further learning needs.
Karen embraces
the policy of Coaching Supervision and has a personal
supervisor to assist her in remaining accountable and objective
through the coaching process.
Feedback on
Karen as a coach
-
“This
coaching experience has been the highlight of the year for me…Your
sessions were extremely valuable. I was a little skeptical and was
not sure that it would really help me, however you were truly amazing
and helped me in setting goals and going for it. Your sessions were
an eye opener as to how I was holding myself back.” -- Manager at
post-production facility.
- “I
have found the coaching experience most enlightening. During the past
few weeks I have gained courage to do things I would not have done
before…I have gained a belief in myself that I have not had before,
acknowledging that obstacles are not necessarily a bad thing, but can
be used as a growth experience.” -- HR Manager
