Coaching

A tailored approach to learning

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.” Coaching is a tailored approach to learning for individuals and groups to access untapped resources and build accountability, innovation and leadership.

Coaching presents an opportunity to talk through a pressing issue or challenge, or to make sense of recent feedback and develop actions to move forwards or to organise thoughts and actions for business growth or team development.

At People Business, we provide coaching for individuals, teams, managers, leaders and executives. We would be delighted to talk further, so please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Why would you want a professional coach?

Here are some great reasons for seeking a coach. Have you ever thought?

I need to develop my confidence and/or competence.
I need to make sense of what is expected of me in this/new role.
In order to succeed, I need to organise myself and others better.
I would like to get prepared for my next promotion/role/job.
I want to develop myself and my team to handle change and conflict.
I want to realise the capabilities and skills of my team.

People Business’s coaching approach

Working confidentially on a one-to-one basis with a People Business professional coach means that we work in partnership and in a supportive way to help you grow and develop as a person.

Whatever the type of coaching you need, what remains consistent throughout is our approach and ethos:

We seek to bring out what coachees are already doing well and to build resilience for what comes next.
We will support coachees and give them time and space to really think about (i) any feedback they have received (ii) the impact their role has on their business and stakeholders.
We will challenge how coachees think about themselves, their role or their organisation.
Our emphasis is on embedding practical solutions and feedback to deliver rapid impact and behaviour change.
We work within the ICF (International Coaching Federation) ethical guidelines and engage in best practice principles such as participating in supervision and evaluating our coaching.
We seek regular feedback to measure the quality of our coaching.

“We have had the privilege of partnering with People Business for our HR consulting needs, and we cannot express enough how invaluable their services have been to our organization. From the outset of our retained contract, People Business demonstrated a profound commitment to excellence and professionalism. Their comprehensive review of our global policies and employment contracts, and the localizing of our global handbook was carried out with meticulous attention to detail, which was essential in mitigating potential risks and ensuring our operations in the UK were fully aligned with local regulations.

People Business’s support extended beyond documentation, as they provided invaluable guidance to our Head of HR and Director of the UK office during the onboarding process for new talent. Their expertise in legislative requirements was instrumental in ensuring a seamless transition for our new team members.

One of the standout qualities of People Business is their dedication and accessibility. Their HR consultants were always at our disposal, promptly addressing our questions and queries.
In summary, our partnership with People Business has been an exceptional experience.
