Total Coaching™
Is coaching on your list of priorities? If it isn’t, it should
be. An effective coaching framework, supported by a conducive
culture, can dramatically improve performance, morale and
skills dissemination.
Embedding widespread coaching sounds a simple objective,
but for many organisations it proves very difficult to
achieve. Why? Because many organisations see coaching as the
latest ‘quick-fix’ fad that fails to be sustainable in the
long-term.
That’s where Total Coaching™ comes in. An approach that not
only looks at coaching from the point of view of the
interactions between coach and coachee, but also from the
critical perspective of the organisational coaching context.
Total Coaching™ embeds and disseminates real learning
because it creates linkage between and knowledge of:
- what it is that organisations have to do to be the best?
- what are the skills that organisations need from their
people in order to be the best?

Total Coaching™ creates a process for capturing and
implementing best practice, supported by a competency
framework that gives clarity around role and personal
development. Total Coaching™ will also show how three
organisational context issues need to be understood to get the
most from a coaching programme:
- Management Style
If the management style is one of command and control, a
teacher-pupil relationship, coaching struggles to move
beyond the classroom.
- Organisational Maturity
For an organisation purely focused on outputs, coaching will
be viewed as another transactional activity, rather than an
organisationally instinctive process.
- Learning Organisation
By definition, coaching is a closed loop feedback model.
Coaching will only be of value if the learning feedback
changes behaviour.
These three areas are all highly interconnected. A weakness
in one area tends to be reflected as a weakness in another,
which explains why many organisations cannot escape the
vicious circle of trying to embed coaching through a series of
skills-based coaching training courses one after another. What
Total Coaching™ creates is a virtuous spiral of a coaching
mentality driving learning opportunities that produce best
practice, which is reinforced and developed through further
coaching.
By addressing the organisational context where the coaching
happens, as well as the required upskilling, Total Coaching™
can achieve:
-
A more motivated and empowered workforce.
-
Clarity and transparency around how managers add value
in their role and greater job satisfaction as people feel more
in control of their learning and development.
-
A more consciously competent organisation which makes
the development of best practice much more achievable.
-
Improved learning velocity (people learn more, quickly)
and reduced learning attrition (people remember more and use
what they have learnt for longer periods).
Total Coaching™ can also be integrated with a Team or
Project Intranet to provide a secure coaching environment
where location is an issue. These innovative online
solutions are designed using Technology Enabled People
Engagement (TEPE).
