Coaching/Training – is it a nice to have? or critical?

For me, it depends on the type of transformation you want for your teams.

Transforming teams into resilient, empathetic members who engage and support each other with the tools and knowledge of how to do so, is critical no matter what the sector is. Isn’t it?

Often when I speak with businesses,  I am met with ‘that isn’t within our budget right now’. That’s something we might consider in 26/27.

I can understand that brush off. There are a plethora of trainers and coaches out there specialising in this area. How can a business make sure they are getting a return on their investment and the true team transformation they seek?

For me, it’s about asking the ‘3 whys’”

  1. Why should I choose you over others?
  2. Why should I invest in this training now?
  3. Why can’t I deliver this myself?

When you get the answers, you can decide your action and know it will be the right path to take.

If I was asked these 3 whys, my answers would be:

  1. Honesty. If I can’t deliver the transformation you want, I’ll tell you!
  2. Investment now can save you a lot of pain later. When will be the right time to invest in your team to benefit your business? 
  3. Let’s be honest, you wouldn’t let me deliver your role. I don’t have the expertise to do so. But I do have the expertise and record to deliver this type of transformation

My specialist areas are:

Neuro inclusion – ADHD Awareness for managers, how to be an ally for peers and 1:1 coaching for individuals 

Mind health – as an accredited Instructor in I-Act Managing and Promoting Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing, I deliver steps and knowledge on how to prioritise self-care when time is short and how to deliver first responder steps safely to diverse sectors globally.  This is the only programme designed for the workplace to be used by anyone and is in line with ISO45003.

Workplace development – commissioned by various businesses to devise and deliver niche programmes on communication, team empowerment, managing conflict etc

Do you agree with my 3 whys?
