Client: Manager of NW Europe Joint Venture Production, multinational oil and gas company
An increasingly evident conflict between personal values and those of the organisation within which they worked limited both performance and development opportunities. Through increased self awareness and an understanding of values and motivators the client was able to determine what they wanted to achieve and put the plans in place to make a career move that was both fulfilling and allowed them to perform at their best. The benefits of the coaching programme included greater self awareness and confidence to pursue a career that allowed them to be both authentic and high performing.
"The very open approach to the coaching agenda, combined with necessary and appropriate levels of challenge, provided honest, valuable and enduring insight"
Client: Head of Client Strategy, multinational bank
Upon return to work after maternity leave the client's goal for the coaching was to build an effective relationship with her new boss. Over the course of the coaching sessions the client identified what the ideal relationship would look like, how to approach some key interactions, and how to address feedback. Towards the end of the six month engagement, her role was expanded to include sales force administration i.e. the day to day running of the sales force and brought with it a team of 5 which lead to discussions around how to lead them. The benefits of the coaching included, improved goal setting abilities, increased confidence and an ability to work more positively and proactively
"Ruth's ability to put the challenge/debate into a wider context was immensely valuable as well as the models and theories she introduced. The coaching provided me with perspectives that I would not normally have considered and offered great insight. It most definitely helped me to exceed my goal."
