Personal coaching and mentoring helps people focus, resolve dilemmas, understand more about their impact and their potential.and emerge stronger, happier and fit for action.
There are times when individuals need special attention and feedback - to grow, to expand their boundaries and to become better attuned to the needs of the organisation.
We'll work with you to find the best way of meeting your needs and their needs to increase individual and organisational capacity.
People whose behaviour is obstructive, whose performance has dipped, who appear to be 'being difficult'. Recruits failing to develop in line with their apparent potential. People doing fantastic work who could be doing even better still.
People feeling isolated in leadership and management roles and in need of space to reflect, develop strategies and options.
Valued senior people failing to adjust to a changing culture, unaware that their behaviour is sending the wrong messages to staff, blocking organisational and business development.
Career planning, career development, talent development and outplacement. These are just some of the situations in which the ethos group is working one-to-one in client organisations.
Whatever the prompt, life skills support, workplace coaching and mentoring is all about helping individuals to reduce stress, increase confidence, clarify direction and improve performance.
It's about giving individual attention, feedback and challenge to re-discover motivation, release energy, potential and productivity.
Our approach recognises that the client sets the agenda.
It's crucial to be clear from the outset about what the individual wants to achieve.
Two further components are critical: a contract agreed between client and coach on how they work together, and a structured process.
These create containment and help those involved to manage boundaries.
Our coaches then draw on a vast reservoir of ideas, resources, tools, models, techniques, inspiration and experience: in life and work.
This enables one-to-one clients to question assumptions, shift their thinking, challenge habits and change behaviours.
It prompts a greater sense of personal accountability and capability, often with extraordinary results.
Ethos coaches are highly skilled: the critical success factor in all coaching.
They build rapport, put people at ease and create a comfortable environment where sometimes uncomfortable realities can be addressed.
Ultimately, by helping to connect individuals' passion to their purpose in the organisation our clients gain a significant and measurable increase in effectiveness, performance and capacity.
