Corporate Coaching and Personal Development Training

Individual coaching - is available to companies committed to supporting individual employees. This includes life coaching for work–related issues and parent coaching.

In addition to ‘Nine Lives’, the continuing professional development programme, we offer short courses and workshops designed to enhance staff’s wellbeing. Themes include:

Wellbeing at Work

The impact of absenteeism on business is well known: typically 3-5% of the workforce may be away from work through illness on any one day. However, when consideration is also given to the percentage of the workforce, probably around 25%, who are performing sub-optimally while at work due to physical or mental strain, the case for pro-active measures to address the issue becomes even more imperative.

The growing pressures both in and out of work are ‘facts of life’. Everyone knows that when they feel well they perform better and enjoy life more. Staff who have excellent attendance records generally have higher levels of satisfaction with professional and personal lifestyles; they have positive attitudes towards exercise and report fewer health and stress-related complaints. They have more resilience to cope with change and are less likely to use avoidance as a coping mechanism.

Improving employees’ wellbeing can have a significant impact on both individual and organisational performance, potentially one of the biggest sources of competitive advantage. For long-term effectiveness, employees need to take responsibility for their own wellbeing, but understanding of wellness habits varies from person-to-person, so offering opportunities for employees to explore the issues and develop their own action plans can have beneficial outcomes, both for the individual and for the organisation - see corporate workshops for more.

Parent Coaching for Employees

40% of employees have dependent children and Government incentives are encouraging both parents to work outside the home. Enlightened employers committed to supporting parents in the workplace are responding by offering their staff one of my parent coaching workshops – see corporate workshops-parent for more.
