Future leader coaching

 

Our future leader coaching programmes are for those who aspire to lead a team in the immediate or medium term future.

Typically each programme takes place over six to twelve months and consists of fifteen to thirty hours coaching, planned as two hours coaching every four to six weeks, plus telephone coaching taken as required.

Each programme is bespoke to the needs of the individual client and is designed to fulfil the goals and objectives that the client develops during the initial coaching meetings.

Every coaching programme includes our core coaching framework plus specialist coaching relevant to the goals and personal situation of each client. The agenda of each session within a coaching programme is set by the client; with the attention of the coach being on what is needed for the client to experience “breaking through” in the area most important at the time.

In the course of a typical future leader coaching programme, we work on aspects of management and leadership such as:

 

  • Understanding the needs and priorities of stakeholders
  • Securing the buy-in of others to objectives, intended ways of working and aspirations
  • Engaging others, securing their support rather than putting up with how things are
  • Making powerful, authentic, engaging proposals
  • Effectively managing time and resources
  • Selecting people with the desired, skills, experience, values and motivation
  • Engendering the values and practices of champion teams
  • Dealing with conflict, challenges and resistance
  • Understanding how to motivate people with different needs
  • Delegating and holding others to account
  • Developing situational leadership skills
  • Dealing with competing priorities
  • Giving and receiving constructive feedback
  • Keeping balance & perspective
  • Developing self awareness
  • Cultivating presence

 

Our coaches support clients to access a zone of high performance where results are substantially beyond what was previously possible. This is achieved by supporting the client to recognise their unique personal contribution, empowering them to pursue what they are most passionate about, by developing their self-awareness and by cultivating presence.

 

A client’s feedback

“It’s difficult to pick a most valuable part of the coaching programme I did with Performance Impact. I found how to create and powerfully express my aspirations for myself and the businesss immediately valuable. This helped me to secure my promotion. Now that I am managing a team I use the Performance Impact Three Act Approach and other Performance Impact leadership principles as a routine part of my job."

Master coach

 

The Performance Impact Master Coach training programme is for people who want to develop the skills required to support others to access their full potential and to produce outstanding, measurable results that are a reflection of that potential.

These skills are essential for being an effective leader, manager or business professional in any discipline.

The programme is also for individuals wishing to develop coaching skills for their own professional coaching practice.

Performance Impact coaching methodology

We train participants to use Performance Impact’s own proprietary methodology, Realising Performance Potential©, to support others to produce breakthrough results in their professional and their personal life. This proprietary methodology has been developed by Ann Bates, the founder and Managing Director of Performance Impact. Ann developed the approach by combining the best of Western business practice with Eastern wisdom, utilizing more than 25 years of personal development.

The Realising Performance Potential© approach creates the conditions for clients to access their creativity and their full potential. The approach produces breakthrough results in a wide range of areas including performance, leadership, change, sales effectiveness, realising project ambitions, life situations and life-style.

The Realising Performance Potential©  methodology is based on the principles of experiential learning and incorporates our “Three Act Approach” and Performance Impact’s “High Performance Principles”.

Experiential Learning: Performance Impact coaches engage clients in open, dynamic discussions rather than providing an “expert view” about “what to do” while the client takes notes and follows instructions. Clients are encouraged, supported and empowered to take responsibility for their own learning and to be accountable for the results that they produce. This approach is substantially different from traditional teaching where the emphasis is on theory, conceptual understanding and intellectual knowledge. 

“Three Act Approach”: Our “Three Act Approach” enables clients to deal effectively with challenges of all types: practical, tactical, strategic and personal. The approach allows people to break out of unhelpful or redundant behaviour patterns and to produce breakthrough results in any area. For example: dealing with challenging work issues; influencing others; making critical decisions under pressure; motivating others; fulfilling commitments.

“High Performance Principles”:  Performance Impact coaches use a range of High Performance Principles from our “toolbox” to support clients to have performance breakthroughs. 

 

Examples of our High Performance Principles include:

  • Authentic leadership
  • Powerful partnerships
  • “Buy-in” 
  • Qualities and attributes of highly effective people
  • Conditions for “performance breakthrough”

These “High Performance Principles” create performance breakthroughs that produce results that exceed expectations on many levels.

Life coaching

 

Our Life coaching programme is for anyone who wants to be fully engaged in life and living to their full potential. Typically each programme takes place over six to twelve months and consists of fifteen to thirty hours coaching, planned as two hours coaching every four to six weeks plus telephone coaching taken as required.

Every programme is bespoke to the needs of the individual client and is designed to fulfil the goals and objectives that the client develops during the initial coaching meetings.

Life coaching focuses on what is most important in a client’s personal and professional life and on fulfilling their aspirations.

Every coaching programme includes our core coaching framework plus specialist coaching relevant to the goals and personal situation of each client. The client sets the agenda of each coaching session. The coach is focused on facilitating the client to experience “breakthrough” in the area of greatest importance to them at the time.

In a typical life coaching programme we can work on areas such as:


  • Career and career development
  • Finances

Our coaches support clients to reliably access a zone of high performance where results are well beyond what was previously considered possible for the client. This is achieved by supporting the client to develop a medium or longer-term aspiration in the area/s of life they want to work on; by empowering them to take the required steps to fulfil their aspirations; by developing self-awareness and by cultivating presence.

 

A client’s feedback

“My coaching programme has grown and evolved to support me as I have taken on new challenges, new responsibilities and new decisions. Results have always been greater than I expected. I feel fulfilled about the results I’ve achieved and many things are possible for me now that were not possible for me before my coaching programme.


Most importantly the work that I have done with my Performance Impact coach has changed my life. I am now closer to the person I always wanted to be and I knew I could be. I could feel all this potential inside, but could never find the way to develop myself in a genuine and authentic way. Through the work we have done together, I was able to get the resources I needed to lose my anxiety and to become a more attractive person to others and to myself”.
