Future Focus Project
Carol, the principal of an Inner London Higher Education College, came to coaching shortly before the college faced its inspection. She suspected the college was on its way to failing. Carol used the coaching to clarify her strategy, maintain her personal energy and explore ways of motivating her team through the inspection process.
Carol piloted the college to a pass, and now reflects, “I have benefitted enormously (from the coaching), gaining insight into situations where I had previously lacked clarity and developing a long term approach which I can use in the future in a wide variety of challenging situations. Furthermore, the institution has gained enormously from my coaching. My leadership of the College and the senior team in handling challenging situations has been invigorated and made more flexible through the coaching I have received".

Future Focus Project
A team of eight experienced professionals were running a long-established care centre for clients with mental health problems. Ironically, they applied the solutions focus approach in their practice for visitors, but under the intense pressure of day-to-day work had forgotten to apply it among themselves for a while.
In a one-day team coaching session, we helped them to recall all the amazing success they were having – given their position in a cash-strapped local authority – and reminded them of the passion and skills they brought to their work. Towards the end of the team day, we asked about small actions they might take, and one replied, “I’ve already started: I put fresh flowers out by the front-door, to brighten up the place for when clients arrive.”

This one-day or half-day workshop for groups of experienced coaches presents and explores a wealth of coaching conundrums, such as:
- What do you do if the client says someone else needs to change?
- How much should you vary the pattern of the conversation in long-term coaching conversations?
- How much can you usefully ‘recall’ about clients in subsequent conversations?
- What do you do if the client says nothing’s improving?
|
And of course conundrums suggested by the coaches on the day.
We work with:
The result is a rich mixture of answers and insights into the puzzles that occur either regularly or sometimes spectacularly in any coaching practice.

Coaching Supervision
1-to-1 for coaches

We provide coaching supervision for organisations with internal coaching teams who want to maintain and develop their skills further. This enables coaches to enhance their skill on an individual or team basis by bringing questions they have about specific cases or their practice in general. Our supervisors provide support, expertise and guidance using a number of techniques including Solutions Focused Reflecting Teams. |
