Quick overview of services

• Coaching for Managers and Team Leaders

• Leadership Development Training
• Leadership Coaching
• Emotional Intelligence

The challenges of managing externally imposed targets against tight budgets, internal aspirations and balancing demanding workloads can leave little time for clear, critical thinking, let alone having a real life outside of work.

Solid! gives you time to think through important issues, clarify goals and overcome real and perceived barriers. We also make sure you feel rejuvenated and inspired to carry on with the important day to day work that makes a difference to many people’s lives without them necessarily being aware of what you do!

Employees in public sector organizations share a number of common issues:

• Change is constant and employees need to develop skills to manage this effectively.
• With organisational change comes conflict and this creates lowered morale, higher absenteeism, high staff turnover and poor staff performance.
• Managers with not enough time to develop their skills to create a supportive environment for their teams.
• Insufficient funds to meet the demands of an increasing public expectation.

Public Sector Organisations and Professionals using coaching.

• Local authorities, the NHS, primary care trusts and schools and colleges are all using coaching.   Health Clinicians, Social Care Practitioners, Educators and Managers at all levels can benefit from coaching.

Coaching can offer you the time and space to think and reflect with an objective and confidential professional with your goals and aspirations at the core of the process.

Coaching is a professional development tool that can aid performance, help build effective working relationships and harness the diversity within an organisation.

The Coaching and training programmes offered by Solid! help Managers to:

• Create the time and space to think creatively about the current situation and set appropriate goals.
• Define their main issues and priorities.
• Explore their leadership style and their impact on the team and organisation.
• Identify ways to develop the team and strategies to overcome challenging relationships.
• Ways to use existing resources creatively.
• Take a fresh look at challenging situations and how they’re managed.
