What could Performance and Leadership Coaching help you achieve?

SELF-AWARENESS AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:

Emotional intelligence is something that separates good leadership from great leadership. Emotional Intelligence or EQ is a person’s ability to observe, internalise and understand their own and others’ emotions, and to use this information to inform what they think and do. In a world of disruption and increasing uncertainty, emotional intelligence is key to successfully managing organisational change, such as a change in business models, technological unemployment or a shift in customer relationships.

Psychologists generally agree that EQ is the most critical ingredient for success, in fact, TalentSmart tested emotional intelligence alongside 33 other important workplace skills and found that emotional intelligence is the strongest predictor of performance, attributing 58% of success in all types of jobs.

Our Performance and Leadership Coaching will help you to actualise the five components of EQ: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.

OPTIMISE THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS:

Every big decision you make can affect the growth of your organisation or team. It’s estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day. Leaders, by nature of their role, are likely to make more decisions than the average person. In the modern world, the rate of decision making is only getting faster which means leaders and managers lack the time needed for proper reflection, clear judgement and quality thinking.

Performance and Leadership Coaching will ensure that every decision you make is based on a clear vision for your organisation. We’ll help you to outline a conscious approach to decision making that integrates instinct, judgement and perspective.

STRESS MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE BUILDING:

With the myriad responsibilities that come with running an organisation or team, comes stress. This can affect your mental and physical health, as well as leading to poor decision-making and inefficient work. It is important to control your stress before it starts to control you. Bouncing back from the symptoms of stress whilst being aware of its cause is key to building a resilient leader. Leaders and managers also have to be aware of stress in their team members and know exactly how to support them and provide relief.

Performance and Leadership Coaching can help to understand stress, identify where it originates and outline strategies to mitigate it.

BEHAVIOURAL ANALYSIS SKILLS:

Behavioural Analysis skills involve learning, practising and applying fine-tuned observation skills in the accurate ‘reading ‘of people and contexts. It helps in the elicitation of information from people in a wide variety of situations. The training focuses on five main channels: facial expressions, verbal content and language, body language, verbal style vocal tone.

One particular application of growing relevance and interest among our clients is to apply these skills to assess credibility and truthfulness. Settings for this may be any person-to-person interaction including job interviews, multiple workplace meetings, investigations, sales negotiations etc. An application of behavioural analysis training that is getting more and more popular is our Deception Detection workshops.
