As an employer our people are our greatest and most valued asset. When our people are well invested in they are more productive and our office culture thrives. We care greatly for our staff team, however we are aware that some of our roles are tough going. It’s so vital in these modern times to prioritise self-care and yet that can be easier said than done amidst busy schedules. We chose to invest the time and money into coaching sessions for our management team to emphasise how much we care for them as individuals. We allowed time to access the expertise of Jennie as an external coach who could create a safe space where they could explore and discover more about themselves by being invested in on a personal level that would build them up and enable them to grow and develop. By investing in them we will have also invested in those around them as the personal impact spills over into their professional lives.

I coached 11 people managers for 3 sessions each in a 1-1 setting at monthly intervals.  Our coaching session were based on the framework I have developed called The Launchpad which is modelled around three main area:

1. Reconnect  – We spend some time focusing on reconnecting with your heart; what you’re passionate about, what excites you, what you’re motivated by.
2. Thrive – You are perfectly and uniquely made and we’ll explore what it means for you to thrive. We will focus on one area of the ‘life wheel’ that feels low (Work / Money / Health / Family and Friends / Spouse / Spiritual Growth / Fun/ Physical Environment), and equip you with new mind sets and clear actions to move it forwards. In doing this, all areas of the life wheel are positively impacted.
3. Empower – I will coach you on an area that currently feels stuck. Using NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) creative tools we’ll focus on how to move an area that feels stuck towards freedom, and helping you see clarity for your next steps to get there.

I would highly recommend Jennie’s service to other employers. Creating a safe space is vital for high impact coaching and, despite us building a coaching approach into our working management style, I know our team really appreciated the ability to go off site and benefit from a coach who was one step removed from their working world. They were able to be totally honest and vulnerable and through that safe space and the skill and expertise Jennie has they were able to step into new knowledge and awareness of themselves and others that has grown them as individuals. They have returned from their sessions with Jennie feeling enlightened, built up and empowered to be their best selves. There’s nothing more powerful for an organisation than to enable staff to bring their best to their work and colleagues around them. Thank you Jennie!
