A return to Coaching

After numerous false starts, there now is a real optimism in the air that the end of the pandemic is in sight. With the return to the office now allowed, many people are finding their feet in the new working landscape. For some working from home remains the answer, while others have returned to the office – or in many cases, embarked on a new hybrid working pattern.

Coaching for the future

At this crucial moment in time, executive coaching is more important than ever. Managers are still faced with managing teams in situations which they have never had to deal with before. Particularly where hybrid working has been introduced and they need to ensure a consistent approach in how their teams are managed and communicated with. Thankfully, the standard and availability of technology has made these new working practices a lot more feasible than they would have been 15 or even 10 years ago.

Leading by example

But whether staff are working onsite or from home, the pressures and behavioural issues are still increased. Executive coaching provides essential reflective space and much needed clarity of thinking in times of change. Managers need the opportunity that executive coaching provides, to deal with their own challenges, before they are able to help their team deal with theirs.

Engagement and development

For people that are working from home or have adopted a hybrid working pattern, there is a real fear of being overlooked for things like promotion. Coaching for success regardless of the location of the employee should be paramount, and this should be built into the team development plans.   Coaching and the coaching process is essential in helping to provide a thought process for problem solving and personal development. It’s also a reflective space with structure. Engaging with a Coach is a vital part of developing yourself and aligning success from your programme with business needs.

At this time, different sectors face different challenges, and different roles face different challenges. Coaching can provide new perspectives, an external point of view, that allows a fuller picture to be drawn outside the client’s own experiences. Leaders and managers need to be more attuned to things spoken and unspoken, and the business decisions that their companies are facing. By working with a Coach, they are able to formulate how their own businesses will develop – both in the short and long-term – and the shape work and the working environment will take.

Leaders now have the opportunities to develop themselves and their teams.  There may never have been a more urgent time to begin an executive coaching programme focused on future business performance and reengaging the workforce with a very clear return on investment.
