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
•		Ensure the individual has ownership for their development

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. An example of a coaching skills programme:

•		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.

“The significant problems we have, cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.”
~ Albert Einstein

Our approach

Step 1	Meet the coach with no obligation.
Step 2	Agree a clear contract of what you want to achieve from the coaching – objectives – measures – confidentiality
Step 3	Four to six coaching sessions – 1-2 hours duration each
Step 4	Review and agree next steps.

Depending on requirements, we provide personality profile diagnostics, 360° feedback profiling and ongoing phone and email support. We ensure we create clear agreement on roles and responsibilities, confidentiality and outcomes between the coach, the coaching client and the organisation sponsor. We focus on behavioural change and clear actions at the end of each session. We challenge and support in order to help people think differently and make better decisions

What our clients say about our approach?

I have always had an aversion to "management speak" and felt sceptical about coaching but I can thoroughly recommend Robert Adam as someone who is very astute, practical and tough. He has helped me to be ready to deal with difficult issues with his "jargon free" approach.
