Many people have asked me the question of can coaching bring results that are measureable.  It is widely known that workplace coaching does bring results and the clients that I work with; we always ensure that measures are put in place and they have a professional development plan that will assist them in their current and future roles. One of the tools used in coaching is holding the client accountable in achieving the tasks that will lead them towards the goal.

In the world of business, it is all about understanding how you currently measure up: what you do well, how you might do it better and what needs to be improved. To assess quality it is necessary to collect data through 360-degree feedback, customer feedback, and any other quantitative data on job performance.

 Coaching a team or a leader of the team needs to develop their skill sets and their behaviours that are required to be a high performer within the company or organisation. Our Brisbane clients come back to us continually over the years as they do see the benefit in addressing behaviours as well as developing skill sets.

A High Performer who is task focused or results driven may not be a good leader. You need to remember that leadership is around influencing people. They need to invest time in their people and to gain their 'buy in' to build a strong relationship. If you lead your people through intimidation instead of influence they may not remain; and you will be again recruiting for that position; once again investing money and valuable time in replacing your team members.

We have found that most people know what to do - however they are not consistent in doing the things that they need to do. A coach will explore this with them and assist them in recognising habits and behaviours that are unsupportive or distract them from getting consistent results.

Most of my leaders that I have worked with will take a couple of sessions first before they will trust you with their real concerns. Once this trust has been developed then the real work and change happens. The idea of change is in the conscious mind; however lasting change lies in the unconscious mind. Lasting change is exploring people's beliefs, value systems, and how and what they identify themselves with. 

So we are based in Brisbane, and we specialise in leadership and performance coaching which is specifically tailored around the needs of the candidate and the company. We also run team  and management meetings in-house and we are now running professional development workshops that are open to the public that cover topics around performance and leadership. Just give us a call and we can have a chat and see if we can be of service.
