In the last blog of my “When to Build a Coaching Culture Series”, I discuss how do you build a coaching culture over time? We’ve said that we are starting small in building a coaching culture. One starfish at a time. But over time, as you expand this to more triads of leaders, there will

Want performance to get better?
In the second blog of my “When to Build a Coaching Culture Series”, I discuss how organisations face and instigate change at an increasing rate. That’s never going to change if they want to survive and thrive. But despite knowing that change is here to stay, employees still feel a sense of resistance. Every time
Creating a Coaching Culture
Creating a Coaching Culture requires the same kind of rigour as any other culture change. That includes articulating your end-point and how you will recognise success when you see it, then pulling a multitude of levers to enable you to get from where you are today to that end goal. Those levers include technology, process and
Technology to support the coaching culture
Technology is an enabler. It enables you to be more effective and efficient; and to make informed decisions. Your coaching strategy will lead you to the kind of technology you need to underpin it.

Coaching culture: What is the problem you are trying to solve?
One of my ex-bosses had a bit of a catch-phrase (thanks for the legacy John). You can tell it’s a catch-phrase because a) he said it all the time and b) I have never forgotten it! That catch-phrase isn’t very sexy, but it IS really powerful in a business sense: “What is the problem you
