Effective Coaching = Improvement

Coaching is the process of bringing out the best in an individual. In fact, it is a key skill that contributes to the development of an organisation's most valuable asset - its people.

Coaching as a formal endeavour might be relatively new in some commercial or business organisations, but it's been around for a long time. Top athletes have personal coaches to help them improve and compete to be the best. Opera singers, actors, and public speakers hire coaches. Name an obscure occupation and chances are there's a coach for it.

In business or organisational work, coaching other people is an increasingly critical skill and one that can make the major difference in an individual’s ability to empower people successfully.

Using Communication Effectiveness Profile means understanding these basic skills and then practicing and refining them to become effective and influential communicators.

Increase Your Confidence and Motivation at Work & Socially

We all have various levels of self-worth. In the past, discussion about a person's self-worth was taboo and certainly not encouraged. The Self-Worth Inventory (SWI) is a simple yet powerful process to help measure your levels of self-worth in specific areas of your life. The SWI does not create self-worth; it confirms what is already true.

Reduce the negative impact that events have on an individual's self-worth levels. This can be achieved by a better understanding of situations and specific approaches for maintaining and increasing self-worth levels. Many organisations and individuals use the Self-Worth Inventory on a regular and planned basis
