Products & Services >> Coaching with Represent

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. Enter the executive coach who listens and challenges, who helps to create thinking space, allowing them to examine key issues and release their own creativity.

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
  Added value from the time spent
  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 action plan. We will provide the following:

Constructive challenge
  Independent view
  Encourage the individual to share their plan with their line manager
  Consistent approach
  Ensure the individual has ownership for their development

Coaching Workshops
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. An example of a coaching skills event:

The role of the coach
  The Benefits of Coaching
  Using a structured coaching process
  Key skills of effective coaches
  Coaching styles
  Assessing coaching readiness

Participants coach each other on their “real” business issues, using the coaching process Represent have vast experience of working together with Companies, in many different sectors, to ensure they take the most appropriate action to meet their coaching needs.
