Conflict
- How do you deal with conflict?
- Do you view conflict as being positive or negative and why?
We are faced with conflict as part of our daily lives, both professionally and personally, usually because people have different view points about the same thing. Alternatively, conflict can arise by people wanting to achieve what they want, at the expense of others. Logic is exchanged for emotion - conflict escalates until it explodes.
Conflict Coaching will take you through the various stages of escalation.
Conflict Coaching will raise your awareness about the way in which you deal with conflict and will help you to make changes to your disempowering and limiting behaviours.
Conflict Coaching will empower you to identify ways to handle conflict.
Conflict Coaching will help you to recognise and value the differences between individuals and groups, their degree of assertiveness and their willingness to work to achieve a win-win situation.
Conflict Coaching will help to identify when conflict is positive and when it is negative, whilst at the same time, identifying how to put each one to better use.
Unresolved conflict causes damage to an individual's performance, to a group's performance and to the performance of an organisation.

Leadership
- What attributes make a great leader?
- If you were asked to name a great leader and make that person your role model, who would you choose and why?
The style of leadership in any organisation is driven by many factors, e.g. communication, behaviour, others' perception of the leader, the esteem/respect in which the leader is held, implementation of the leader’s decisions.
A leader can work on the ethos that “the end justifies the means” or can be a values-centred person. Irrespective of their stance, they will both lead, but by very different methods.
Leadership Coaching will empower you to assess the type of leadership style you adopt and why you adopt it.
Leadership Coaching will empower to grow as a leader.
Leadership Coaching will explore your legitimate, expert and personal powers.
Leadership Coaching explores your strengths and weaknesses and empowers you to make the necessary changes.
Being a leader can be challenging, stressful and isolating. Leadership Coaching will help you to welcome challenges and to turn them into success. Leadership Coaching will empower you to identify potential causes of stress and identify methods to avoid and/or overcome them. Leadership Coaching removes the isolation and empowers you to do the job you are good at.

Performance
- If you were asked to verbalise your interpretation of the word “performance” to enable you to provide a description of how you perform in the workplace, what would you say?
- Using your description, how do you know how well you are performing at work?
- How does your performance at work impact on your life at home?
One of the main key challenges for organisations is how to maximise people’s performance at work. There are many myths surrounding what constitutes good and bad performance, an example being that the person who works the longest hours is the best performer, whilst on the other hand, poor performance can be attributed to lack of effort. This is not true! When levels of performance are below expectations, many organisations will turn to training as a solution. This option will only work if the person identified for the training needs to be able to do something or they do not know how to do it. If that person is knowledgeable about how to do something, additional training will not improve their performance. Almost the same level of impact can be placed on the willingness to do something as having the actually ability to do it.
Performance Coaching will help you to identify what is expected from you and how to do it.
Performance Coaching will help you to identify the context of the work you are required to do.
Performance Coaching will help you to identify and remove any barriers that may not be conducive to excellent performance.
