What is Coaching?
Coaching supports people to achieve their potential and move forward with their goals. It provides space for reflection which can prompt new thinking and positive change.
The team at Professional Training are highly regarded for their executive coaching. As lawyers ourselves, we understand the legal setting so are well placed to give bespoke and focused feedback.
We appreciate the chargeable hours, the culture and clients, in such a specific way – we get it! Armed with this insider knowledge and experience, coaching can increase self-awareness, realign a coachee with business aims and support them to play to their strengths. This in turn drives up performance so that coaching is an overall saving as opposed to cost to a law firm.
Coaching supports people to take more responsibility for their personal and professional development and often visits unexplored places. The coachee is responsible for creating their own results but we support them to move from where they are currently to where they want to be and to achieve results more quickly than they otherwise would alone.
Sometimes it is better to coach than to train.
One-to-One Coaching
In one-to-one coaching we work with a coachee over a period of time (generally six sessions over six to eight months). We take a deep dive into a particular theme or goal set by the coachee.
We use active listening skills and clear, focused and occasionally challenging questioning to motivate and inspire the coachee.
We may explore a coachee’s values, beliefs and strengths to increase their self-awareness and support them to take more responsibility for their personal and professional development.
We have had success in helping clients with:
- Career progression
- Leadership skills
- Business development goals
- Delegation skills
- Self-confidence
- Resilience
- Work/life balance
The coachee is given the time and space to explore their goals, unlock their potential and make lasting changes whilst maintaining momentum and reflecting on actions between sessions.
