An Approach to Performance Improvement
Imagine for a moment that, instead of a business, you are responsible for a football team, one that is struggling in some way, and under performing, and that you are looking for support from another coach to help you figure out the issues, and improve your teams performance.
Now imagine the coach you are using never watches your team play, they only have your perspective on the tactics they are using and problems they face, they never speak to any of the players, or compare your performance to your competitors. Imagine that they only talk to you once every couple of weeks, about the specific specialisation they have in football coaching., be that having a positive mindset, how to score a goal, or take a penalty.
How much will this change your teams prospects? The advice they provide, and tools they bring may be suitable, they may not. Your ability to implement them will effect the outcome and results. No matter what the coach or you think, if the players don’t buy into the ideas, then no amount of coaching will change anything.
Unfortunately this is the reality of most business coaching. It is an industry rife with “lifestyle businesses”, where coaches are selling very specific tools which may or may not be suitable or even valid. They are often selling pre-recorded courses of generic information you can get from any decent book on management or leadership, and as such you take your chances.
If this is the kind of support you are looking for, then we’re sorry, we cannot help you.
Our Approach
We aim to disrupt, in a positive way, the business coaching industry. We aim to do this with the type and level of support we provide, and by virtue of this, the results that we deliver.
We can, if you wish us to, just coach you individually, but be prepared this is likely to cover a breadth of topics due to the complexity of the problems within businesses. You will grow and develop and be able to deliver much more as a business leader, but in our mind why do this yourself, when you can have your whole business engaged in it with you?
In the analogy above, we will help you analyse where your team is struggling, and more importantly why. We will help and support you in resolving the issues we collectively find.
We will, should you choose, engage with your team to find out their perspective, what issues they face, and to enthuse them to drive improvement themselves.
If you’re struggling and choose so, we can step in to directly help with implementing solutions, and in the analogy above, if you really need it, we can jump on the pitch and help you score a critical goal.
In short we offer a fully rounded solution to drive performance improvement in your business. We tailor this specifically, so that we can provide you with exactly what you want, and more importantly what you need.
Our only caveat to this, is that we will follow your lead in what you want. It’s your business, and your choice, we will support you as much or as little as you choose.
Every team is different. They all have their own players. Players have different skills and strengths and weaknesses, some of them have injuries they are living with. All teams train differently. Some have excellent facilities, some train in the local park. Teams have different styles and tactics, depending on the players and their objectives.
How could we drive real lasting improvement without understanding all of this?
More importantly, do you just want to improve performance for the next few games, or do you want to continually get better and better, progressing up the leagues until you are champions?
This is how our approach is different. We are serious about performance improvement, and how to deliver it.
Our goal is to help businesses, and the people within them, perform better and have a more prosperous future, not to create a lifestyle business for ourselves, where we charge you to watch generic pre-recorded videos which make huge assumptions about what your problems really are and how you can fix them.
Different teams, different goals, challenges, and needs
