Coaching

Here is what to expect from a coaching session

01

Confidential Conversation

A completely confidential conversation – no reporting of content to management or programme coordinators

02

Non Directive

A non-directive conversation where you coach will use questioning skills and frameworks to help you think out loud

03

Supportive Environment

A supportive environment where you can voice a concern or a confidence challenge

04

Future Focused

A future focused and action orientated approach which will help you identify an outcome and explore ways of getting there

05

Performance Management

Coaching is not performance management – it’s a support and a resource for you to access when you need it

Steps

How it works

Step One

Think about the general topic you would like to work on (although sometimes finding the topic can be the purpose of coaching!)

Step Two

View the coaches listed on this page and make contact with the coach you believe to be a good fit

Step Three

Arrange a Discovery Call / Chemistry chat with your coach to make sure you are both happy to work together

Step Four

You, as the coachee, will schedule the sessions directly with your coach (4 to 6 one hour sessions)

Alan Brereton

While others have spend a lot of time in the public service, my background is in the private sector as the head of marketing for Google. From there I moved into this local authority ten years ago with a view to being closer to home and family. Since then, I have discovered a much greater sense of purpose and meaning in my work. It really seems like we make a difference here. I completed the coaching course so that I could help others in the organisation to find fulfilment in their job, discover opportunities to excel and to feel confident as they go through their day. I look forward to working with you!
