Coaching for Management and Leadership
Workplaces of today demand high levels of interpersonal skills on the part of every staff member, but especially of managers.
So much depends on you, the manager. What’s more, you don’t have the luxury of being simply a ‘manager’. You represent the business, the organization; you have to be a leader - building teamwork, giving staff purpose and direction for their work, learning new people-management skills and handling difficult situations sensitively.
Jennifer’s coaching develops your management and leadership skills, as you learn how to:
- communicate more effectively with staff
- listen proactively to staff – value them more
- manage meetings more productively
- organize your time more effectively
- resolve conflicts, before they explode
- see the potential in your team members and challenge their performance
- delegate with purpose and monitor performance
- develop emotional intelligence skills that enable you to manage your own reactions
- balance your role as both manager and leader
- take responsibility for work/life balance

I learned a lot about myself during coaching. I've learned to recognize the things I do well and try and build on them; and if I manage my time better I can achieve more without working 12 to 14 hours per day. What I particularly liked was that I could say anything, and even when I told you things that I wasn't particularly proud of you could always put a positive/learn-something-from-it, focus on it.

Coaching for Career Progression/Career Change
Jennifer’s coaching can help you make difficult career decisions, answering questions such as:
- Do I try to qualify for promotion?
- Or is there a different career path I should/could be following?
- What does my performance really indicate about my future?
- Where am I at now and where do I want to be? What might that involve?
- How do I write a resume?
- How do I prepare for a job interview?

Jennifer challenged my way of thinking which now makes me look at my future and the way I live my life differently. By using some great tools, Jennifer helped me set appropriate goals and encouraged me to take some risks.

Coaching Across the Generations
Gen Y, Gen X, BabyBoomers! Is your workplace struggling with generational issues as:
- younger managers assume positions over older workers?
- mature age workers express their resentment at feeling marginalized?
- GenY staff rebel and leave when their expectations are not met?
- mature age workers struggle with technology, the pressure of workloads or physical challenges?
Differences in values, skills, expectations, and tolerance underpin this emerging issue, highlighted by media coverage of research into Generation Y.
However, there is a skills shortage – already critical for many industries – and one that’s not going to be resolved in the short-term. You need to keep all your staff. You need all staff to work together amicably and productively.
Jennifer can help:
- you as a manager to understand and handle ‘generational’ issues
- mature age workers to handle their own ‘generational’ issues and find solutions for maintaining their productivity at work

With coaching I’ve become more accountable to myself; it’s made me more confident.
