Expert Consulting
With so much unforeseen change hitting the learning and leadership development function, there is a pressure to keep evolving and to be adaptable and effective. The stakes are also currently high for leaders and managers who need to support their greatest asset: their people.
Learning and leadership development can transform businesses by unlocking people’s full potential. I provide expert consultancy to support organisations with specific challenges, processes and programmes, or delivering vision for the future direction of your business that you need support executing. This includes developing robust strategies centred around building a coaching culture and leadership development.
Coaching Culture Clinics for L&D
Coaching is the most vital part of an organisation’s learning and development strategy, but it is incredibly difficult to embed and sustain it in organisations. Many learning and development professionals are struggling with building a business case for a coaching culture, evaluating coaching, upskilling managers and ensuring effective contracting.
I offer virtual coaching culture clinics designed to help you work through your organisational coaching challenges.
One-to-one 1.5 hours focused thinking and planning time on your organisational coaching agenda
Focused on YOUR challenges, priorities and actions to take forward, where we plan together how you are going to implement your ideas
100% attention - listened to, challenged and supported based on YOUR needs by an Accredited Coach and L&D advocate.
Predominantly using a coaching approach, we will get clarity on your challenges, priorities and actions to take forward to enhance your organisation's coaching culture.
You will receive a coaching questionnaire and an action plan template prior to the session so that we can plan together how you are going to implement your ideas.
Coaching Needs Analysis
The first vital step to building your coaching culture is to undertake a thorough coaching needs analysis of your organisation's current coaching state to assess readiness and to look at what is successfully done at present.
I can help you to laser focus on the themes running through your organisation and identify the areas that need the most attention by conducting a coaching needs analysis. I do this using an evidence-based and data-driven approach, where I follow a robust process that involves organisational research, consultation and evaluation. This will ensure that you can confidently navigate the unique challenges and opportunities within your organisation, and best maximise the time, resources and budget available. Once the organisational research has been completed, a report will be created with observations and recommendations.
A key part of this work, is getting to know your needs and context as an important first step. I use a range of tools to gather information and to provide objective recommendations, including focus groups, 1:1 interviews, questionnaires and discussions with key stakeholders.
Clarity on Building an Impactful L&D Strategy
There are so many changes facing organisations where there is continued pressure to engage individuals and ensure agility. This means that learning has never been more important but how much time do learning and development functions have to reflect and assess their priorities, purpose and impact? It is easy to get stuck in the midst of churning training programmes out because business leaders will often turn to using training for a wealth of people development/performance management issues. This often detracts from L&D being able to create or improve their learning and development strategy, build self-sufficiency and accountability across the business, and importantly, work strategically to drive real change across the organisation.
My Clarity on Building an Impactful L&D Strategy is a six-session blended programme combining a range of coaching, consulting and mentoring to provide focused thinking time for L&D professionals to move forward in creating more impact in their L&D Strategy to be a proactive agent of change:
Enhanced awareness of L&D priorities, challenges and actions
Clear headedness and confidence to plan their way forward
Move from a position of reactivity to proactive, strategic working
Challenging themselves and organisation to add further value
Support and challenge with an Accredited Leadership Coach & L&D advocate.
Leave the programme feeling clear-headed, committed and confident with a clear action plan to take your L&D strategy further.
