Coaching in the workplace
Introduction
Coaching awakens the potential and emphasizes the strengths in each individual employee, creating a foundation for a healthy workplace, and your company's success. Imagine having a united front of positive and productive employees that support the greater mission and goals of your company.
Having a positive company culture with satisfied and engaged employees is key.
"Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can't deliver good service from unhappy employees." Tony Hsieh. Author of "Delivering Happiness" and CEO of Zappos.
COACH EMILY IN THE WORKPLACE
My goal is to help you create a workplace full of highly motivated, inspired and creative people, who are self aware, responsible for their strengths and weaknesses, know how to communicate and create powerful relationships with coworkers, are happy, healthy, engaged and committed to the well being of the company at large.
Coach Emily in the Workplace is an extension of my private coaching practice. In addition to the buzz in the industry about the importance of cultivating a positive culture, years of conversations with my private clients in the business world has clarified the importance of bringing this work into organizations.
I look closely at the effectiveness and satisfaction of individual employees, at all levels and positions of your organization, coaching employees to become their best selves and produce their best work. I work based on unique personality and individualized issues, guiding groups through a process of personal discovery and development. I coach for advanced communication and leadership skills, conflict resolution, personal health, happiness and fun.
Communication & Conflict Resolution
Communication is fundamental to creating a positive, healthy and highly productive work environment. Employee relationships greatly impacts individual and team performance. The most effective teams are made up of individuals who are confident, appreciate each other, have a strong sense of community and purpose, and know how to communicate with each other. Communication is primary, and as such, my goal is to coach individual members of your workplace to have responsible, powerful and purposeful communication skills.
Poor communication is one of the biggest causes of workplace conflict.
Conflict resolution is often necessary for many organizations. This isn't surprising given the various, unique personalities working together. These conflicts can usually be resolved with little or no negative impact, as long as they are handled with care and respect. We all remember times when we clarified simple misunderstandings that caused bigger problems. And times when a rather unpleasant conflict could have been avoided if more care was given to how we communicated. Or times when we have avoided giving feedback, when it was desperately needed. Trying to communicate when you are being attacked, blamed, or ignored is even harder. I work with individual employees to develop their ability to communicate clearly and effectively so conflicts are minimized and progress can continue.
Employee Wellness
I take a holistic approach to health and wellness. This includes physical, psychological, emotional and, for some, spiritual health. With the guidance of a caring and skilled coach, people are quickly learning how to set aside their personal obstacles (often deeply ingrained) and establish a healthy sustainable path towards becoming their best self, and best employee.
I coach employees to have the skills to set aside habitual criticism, develop healthy and truthful self-awareness, and deal with personal issues that continue to disrupt their life and work. This means being able to honestly evaluate strengths and weaknesses with curiosity, compassion, and truth. Together, we address and develop self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect and self-worth. The fundamental goal of personal growth is self-realization; a state of being where you know, on a truly deep level, that you matter, and you are living your life, personally and professionally, from that understanding and commitment. Knowing your value leads to being and doing your best, in all aspects of your life.
Executive Leadership Coaching
Leaders are pivotal to organizations and direct positive change. I believe everyone can benefit from learning leadership skills, no matter what your responsibilities are at work. Leadership is about having authority and influence while inspiring independence and action.
Authority is a very powerful state of being that has a tendency to become either overstated or understated. I coach managers and executives to awaken a deeper understanding of the qualities, skills and responsibilities of truly effective leadership. I support them to step more fully into their role as a leader, who establishes and maintains a positive, productive, highly inspired and motivated environment.
Summary
I enjoy working with my clients to create and manifest healthy transformation and positive change. This combination of self-awareness and inter-personal (communication) skills serves to enhance the whole team's performance and productivity. My goal is to guide each individual to live and work to their greatest potential, for the better of themselves and the company.
