“Coaching is fast becoming the primary 'training' method for our senior management, because it enables individual issues to be addressed.”
“Peace and quiet. The coach listened, gave neutral feedback and wasn't afraid to be honest. With high integrity. I'm more understanding and empathic.”
“Morale has increased, I'm more approachable. I include the team in the decisions. They are so much more responsive now, there is so much more respect. It has resulted in savings with labour cost, better productivity and happier staff and customers.”
“…an extremely intense, confronting and, dare I say it, life-changing experience. Although Erik's style is very positive and supportive, he does not shy away from asking difficult questions. Working with Erik has helped me break engrained thought patterns, giving me an increased self-confidence and optimism and helping me to reduce stress. It helped me develop a system for managing myself and improving my performance.”
Coaching is a solution focused, systematic process. Coaching helps people to perform at the peak of their abilities. It draws out people's strengths, helps them to bypass personal barriers, and facilitates them to function more effectively in teams and as leaders.
Working with a coach is safe, supportive, and completely confidential. Throughout the working relationship, the coach will engage in direct, personal, and sometimes confronting dialogue.
While working through actual work situations, we establish high performing mindsets and behaviours that allow individuals to succeed as business people and leaders. Specific communication and management skills training modules are included as needed.
