Feedback- giving and receiving
The most progressive organisations are often those that encourage a free flow of frequent and constructive feedback on performance - both upwards, downwards and sideways. As a senior person in your organisation you are required to achieve results through the efforts of your whole team. To get the best from others they need to know what is expected of them and how they are measuring up against specific goals and/or performance indicators that have been agreed in writing.
Self confidence & positive thinking
Raising self confidence is one of the most common requests that we receive - from Managing Partners and CEOs downwards. Some admit to having a challenge during certain highly specific situations or when working with particular people; others are overwhelmed by a sense inadequacy for much of their working day - just imagine how that impacts on performance. We teach the 'ten secrets of positive thinking' to enable positive outcomes.
Waste of time management
How we use our time is a critical skill if we are to consistently achieve the results we need in the workplace, or indeed, what we want to achieve in our lives. Almost every day we discover that our clients' employees are ineffective at managing their time and this applies equally to executives and managers as new entrants. Time management 'systems' offered in the market as solutions to time management problems today can be too complex and time consuming to use. In many cases they may be entirely inappropriate for your needs. If you are not careful, you can spend all of your time planning and organising your work and end up not delivering anything. OvationXL take a different approach by providing practical tips that can be implemented to great effect on Day One.
Strengths, weaknesses & values
A great starting point to most 1-2-1 business performance coaching is a rapid analysis of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We often make business and personal SWOT analyses. The next step is to examine your core values. We deliberately scramble your thinking to elicit which are the ones you really believe are your most important values right now. We go on to use this information in later parts of your programme.
Your new strengths and abilities
- Clarity - you now know for sure what you really need to tackle first.
- Moved away from behaviour that had been holding you back.
- Increased motivation.
- Increased self awareness.
Did you know?
It isn't known who first invented the SWOT analysis. It has certainly featured in strategy work since the early nineteen seventies. Besides being used for individual performance coaching the SWOT analysis is used to gauge the degree of 'fit' between an organisation's strategies and its environment.
Who would benefit?
Anyone who would benefit from greater focus or who is moving towards their next level of performance. Anyone in managerial positions would benefit.
