Case Studies
During our initial coaching session we will identify your needs. After that we will develop a programme to establish achievable goals and regularly track your progress towards meeting them. We will meet in person or on the phone. We can email eachother. These sessions will be your time to use as necessary.
Marianne is a mom and works part time. She was upset because she did not feel she was accomplishing enough each week. We discussed her activity management and I sent her home with work to do: make a list of everything she did over the next two weeks.
What happened? She came back very satisfied with herself and feeling much relief. She had accomplished SO much- she just had not realized it. She did regular day-to-day activities, but had also arranged a dinner party and spent some quality time with her kids.
She needed to change her perspective- not her life!
Max had a new staff member to manage. They did not get along, but since Max had seniority, it became his responsibility to make the new staff member feel welcome and to train him. Max felt very depressed and unsure of himself. I directed Max to take the new member out for coffee, one -to-one. Max hated the idea but agreed to it. Max and I spent a session determining topics of conversation. Afterwards, Max said that he hadn't had to worry about conversation. The staff member had so many questions to ask and Max gave him direct attention- and answered the questions. So, they do not have a perfect working relationship, but they are managing. The others in the workplace were relieved.
Lisa has her own business. She had been starting to profit, but suddenly lost her impetus. We had many discussions about her business motiviation and what she wished to accomplish. We discussed her vision and how to make the company profitable. During our discussions, we realized that there was one project that she never got done because it seemed too great. I asked her to develop a list to describe the specific activities involved, ie : learning some key phrases (15 minutes to look through a training manual and make notes); making phone calls (what was the purpose, what time of day, how long should the phone call take, what would she say? )
These were small steps, but they broke down the enormous barrier. Within a week she was back in self confident mode and ready to be profitable again!
