- Individuals are more inclined to acknowledge their weaknesses to an outsider.
- The independent coach is likely to be trusted more than an insider who might be involved in the politics of the organisation.

- TRAINER - Deals with input of knowledge and skill
- MENTOR - an industry or subject matter expert who helps to carve a pathway through the organisation
- CONSULTANT - Diagnoses and recommends solutions to organisations at a macro level on strategic and cultural issues
- COUNSELLOR - Fixes people without the strengths or inner resources to do so themselves
- MANAGER - Sets direction, manages process and performance. (Confidentiality is not always possible in this relationship).
Can I afford to Coach my Team? Can you afford not to do it?

Business needs vary a great deal and we work with you to design an individually tailored package which meets the specific needs of your business and its budgetary constraints. back to top
What are the key applications of coaching? There are many highly effective applications but introducing a coaching culture into an organisation is by far the most effective. A coaching culture encourages openness, honesty, commitment and challenge and helps people to focus and narrow down what they do. It helps them find the skills they didn't know they had and use them effectively without providing ready-made solutions.
