Coaching Professionals has been providing leadership support for people and teams since 2004. Created by award-winning coach, Neil Scotton, we provide world class level coaching, training and facilitation. And recently, by invitation, we have the added capability of providing a faculty of coaches to support your people and training programmes.
Coaching - The space to find your answers
With world class coaching, getting results flows naturally. You discover, unlock and unblock all that is within you: the thoughts, creativity, hopes, dreams, passions and energies you have, even though you may not currently realise it. You can deal with the fears, frustrations and thoughts that may have got in your way, or maybe even served you in the past, by catching up with where you now are.
It's about tackling the big, scary and complicated. And the small 'pebbles in your shoes' that can often be shrugged off, but at great cost. It's about learning, growth and stretch. It's about creating the impact, experiences and memories that you love to talk about. It's about finding direction and a way for all of you, and all you care about, and your work, and all your life, fit together and make sense. It's about doing something special. It's about real conversations with someone who hears you, who listens at a deeper level, understands, and works with you to find elegant ways to unlock what you are looking for. Someone who is your sounding board, your challenger, your supporter: someone with whom you feel truly heard and understood, and able to be fully yourself.
What people say about the coaching experience
These are real quotes from CEO's, directors, business owners, leaders in the coaching profession itself and more:
"Questions that probe deeper than I'd get with others or on my own."
"The perceptiveness makes a connection I'd never spotted."
"An honesty and openness which enables our discussions to go wider and deeper than would normally"
"I always come away calmer, happier and with a better sense of direction."
"No matter how dedicated I am to my own inner work, it cannot replace the value of a partner who is able to see my blind spots, to celebrate what I take for granted, to challenge what I assume mistakenly matters or doesn't."
"You make our time together all about me. Compassionate, accepting, safe and inspiring."
"This journey of discovery helped me find the real issue."
"By gradually separating the conflicting pressures I was facing I'm now clearer, more relaxed and more decisive."
"What I came to value most was the opportunity to state ideas and thoughts out loud to someone that was really listening and not judging or evaluating."
"I learned a self-coaching process that has been very helpful to me. This includes making time for quiet reflection, making a conscious effort to reframe and recycle ideas by trying to look at things from multiple perspectives, recognising the importance of the quality of my relationships with others, and focusing on the positive."
"Taking time to slow down, reflect, and think more deeply about things has been a significant benefit for me."
"I often started a session with one idea in mind, but by the end had moved to a much deeper and more useful level of thought."
"Amazing. Genuinely transformational. I have made a great deal of progress in integrating the different parts of my professional life."
"Honest, non-judgemental, engaging, calming. Excellent!"
"One of the best one hour and 25 minutes of my life."
"It always opens up a great sense of possibility, opportunity and excitement."
"Every time we work together I leave with a new sense of calm."
Team Development, Training & Facilitation - Unlocking the 'Together'
Doing something together with others in your team, organisation and collaborations can get complicated. The individual personalities and situations. The team dynamics.
If people are to play a positive part in making things happen, making full use of all they have to bring, then they need to be fully and personally engaged. What would it be like if you could get clear on what it is you are doing together? And transform how you do it together? How important is it to tackle the important, exciting and challenging issues with openness and courage, and be able to fully hear and understand the different perspectives? What becomes possible if you could bring everyone's skills, wisdoms and experiences to bear? And to have fun doing it?
We enable teams to transform the way they work together. Based in the coaching approach, bringing years of experience, and a uniquely profound set of principles we provide immersive experiences developed over many years working with people in purposeful organisations. It has been a journey of deep exploration into what enables and unlocks human change.
Together we can build the content and environment that enables your people to fundamentally change the way they relate to each other. People gain the skills and experience to enable people in the team to feel heard. Respected. Enthused. Accountable. Safe enough to raise and discuss what really matters. Committed. Trusted. Respected. They can apply this to resolve tensions, find direction, explore complex situations and big decisions, have more honest, powerful and compassionate conversations, and create supportive and productive working relationships on a wholly new level.
These can take the form of training sessions. And team days. Strategy days. Retreats. Multi-day and multi-part programmes. Partnership events. Complicated stakeholder discussions. Community days. Forums. Or simply joining you when there are difficult conversations for people to unpack.
