Limitations in time and the appropriate coaching skills may have an impact on developing your student during key transitions.
Having an experienced, trusted and independent pair of ears to listen to their challenges will ensure they are ready for the world of work and improve their performance.
Coaching is being used more now for professional development as companies are finding it highly beneficial for career growth of their employees and particularly through times of transition and transformation. Students and those entering the world of work benefit from a coach to enhance their potential early on in their career.
As their coach, I will work with them using proven tools and techniques to develop their self-awareness, self-belief and confidence which are often at the lowest in times of transition. The learner will benefit from having this independent support through this self-development phase.
The benefits you will see as their manager is a highly performing member of your team with greater chances of attaining the goals you set them and someone that has stronger communication skills to work with other teams.
As a parent, providing a coaching opportunity for your child and seeing them gain confidence in their decision making, developing their “business tool box” and enabling them to develop professionally, can be a catalyst for positive change in their lives.
As a student yourself, coaching will raise your self-awareness and increase your confidence to take on key decisions in life whilst creating personal action plans to reach the success or confidence you dream of.
Flo, an apprentice said of coaching with Kathryn, “I was quite nervous of going into coaching having never used it before however I had no reason to be apprehensive as Kathryn made me feel at ease from the start by being an independent pair of ears and creating a trusting and respectful environment to engage in. I have been amazed at how valuable this experience has been and in such a short space of time I have gained confidence in my decisions and have a clear action plan at the end of each session to move me towards my long-term goals”.
