Coaching

Smarter Networking's business coaching is tailored for professionals at all levels - for new graduates starting out in the world of work, for those making career changes and for individuals approaching retirement and considering a new direction or portfolio career.  In particular Smarter Networking specialises in:

• Performance coaching - aimed at raising or re-directing the level of performance in an existing role, meeting the competencies of a new role or addressing specific challenges

• Networking coaching - aimed at improving the skills, confidence and willingness to network from beginners through to advanced networkers

• New business coaching - aimed at improving the skills, confidence and willingness to increase sales performance

• Marketing coaching - specifically aimed at small business owners who need outside help in their thinking and planning

Our business coaching sessions usually last between 1 ½ - 2 hours and our preference is to hold them "off-site" as we find this not only prevents interruptions but provides a more relaxed environment in which to have open and honest conversations. They will usually involve a discussion around the goal or outcome identified for that session, resulting in agreed actions for the coachee. Our approach is very much results focused - follow-through on the actions is a priority to ensure the coaching is as effective as possible, providing tangible results

Our experienced business coaches have varied methodologies, backgrounds and experiences. This will ensure we best meet the needs of the individual coachees, taking into account their personality preferences, status, experience, etc.  We can use a number of profiling tools such as Myer Briggs, Insights, Belbin, 16PF5, DISC etc and/or work alongside your own preferred tools.

Much of the power of coaching lies in the relationships built between the coaches and coachees based on trust and mutual respect. Nothing discussed during the coaching sessions will be shared with anyone else unless the coach is expressly asked to and/or given permission to do so by the coachee.
