Individual Coaching:
- Usually involves a minimum of six face-to-face sessions of around two to two and a half hours each
- The first meeting can often last the longest, allowing time to get to know each other, explore the full context and identify goals
- Sessions should take place away from the client’s usual place of work to avoid distractions and aid clarity of thinking
- A 360-type of audit, or diagnostic calls, may be recommended to broaden understanding of how a client’s behaviour impacts those around them
Team Coaching:
- Begins with a 1:1 meeting with the client to clarify objectives, explore the context, set specific goals and agree a bespoke coaching programme
- Pre-coaching preparation calls with all team members ensure that the coaching programme is tailored to the specific issues that need to be addressed
- Working with a team can be on or off site and may include individual as well as group sessions
- Observation in a live meeting setting can also be incredibly helpful to the process
