Products & Services >> Coaching with Represent
Developing the individual
Represent provide one-to-one coaching in a variety of ways. We help to expand boundaries and encourage innovation, resulting in personal and business growth. We focus on four main areas of business coaching:
- Board level – executive coaching.
- First 100 days – enabling new recruits to adapt to their new organisation and deliver results in the first three months
- Transition – managers into leaders
- Talent management – developing leadership potential for the future.
Executive Coaching
Senior people are busy people and the traditional development route does not always fit in with their hectic schedules, or even with their own personal or business needs. The executive coach listens and challenges, helps to create thinking space, allows people to examine key issues and develop their performance.
Our coaches challenge current thinking, to help individuals make sense of themselves or situations, support them to expand their boundaries and truly innovate, resulting in personal and business growth.
Executive coaching is only effective when there is the appropriate match between the individuals. In our experience it is important to achieve the following:
| • |
 |
A verbal contract on working together |
| • |
|
Clearly defined measurements |
| • |
|
Credibility with the coachee |
| • |
|
Managed expectations |
| • |
|
Mutual trust and agreement on confidentiality |
Represent only use coaches who have been in operational positions and therefore understand and build credibility quickly, providing practical rather just theoretical insights to different approaches.
360 Feedback Coaching
Represent have worked successfully with organisations to provide 360-feedback coaching. Our approach is to help the individual understand the key messages from the report, working from their agenda to produce a detailed development plan. We will provide the following:
| • |
|
Constructive challenge |
| • |
|
Independent view |
| • |
|
Encourage the individual to share their plan with their line manager |
| • |
|
Consistent approach |
| • |
|

Coaching Skills Programmes
Coaching to support people undergoing leadership or business development is particularly successful. We have delivered coaching skills workshops for a number of organisations who needed to introduce a coaching culture within their management population. By developing key coaches at very senior levels to coach and support middle managers has enabled these organisations to put new skills, behaviours and business models into practice back in the workplace.
