"A life coach acts as a mirror, helping people to work out
what they want, what they
are good at, what they are
bad at, where and how to
improve" Financial Times
"Coaching deals with all
areas of
life, professional & personal - it's not just for people with problems - but
for those who want to do
what they do even better."

CHALLENGING
CHANGE
Coaching for managers and leaders in health and social
care.
Managers,
leaders, the team starts with you; your personal fulfilment,
success and happiness is crucial to building effective,
stable and cooperative teams.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- How healthy is the service you manage? How
much money and time is lost through staff sickness,
burnout and attrition?
- How well does the budget balance between reality
and expectations?
- How do you look after yourself and your team
through periods of ongoing change?
|
The
statistics for sickness, stress and burnout
are well known. Sickness rates of 5% cost
the NHS cost £700,000 a year. In one year
alone 30,000 nurses left the profession
and GP services are facing a crisis in the
next few
years with retirement of many
GPs

Does coaching really work?
One recent research project involving GPs provided
the following results:
- 66% improved general wellbeing
- 70% increased effectiveness
- 73% improved work-life balance
- 15% had been considering leaving general practice
but changed their minds as a result of the coaching
(Workforce Development Confederation
(2004) Unpublished)
In a recent project, a group of Occupational Therapists
found
the following benefits
from being coached:
- “The coaching has given me confidence. My uncertainty
about the future has gone and I have clarity of
vision”
- “I had a pre-conceived notion that I would
be told (what to do) but that didn’t happened. I
had time to stop and think and focus.”
- “I feel I’ve got more time. I don’t
rush at things. I’ve got more control – not panicking
anymore, not stressing and being more objective...I
am standing in my own power.”
