Not For Profit

Not for Profit and Community Sector

"Excellent! Initially I was doubtful about the impact of coaching, but I have changed my perceptions of myself and the way I think for the better. Other people have commented that I'm more positive and confident both at work and personally." John, Birmingham.

 

Quick Overview

• Coaching for Managers and Team Leaders
• Coaching skills training
• Leadership Development workshop
• Leadership Coaching
• Emotional Intelligence

I’ve worked in the not for profit sector for over 12 years, with family carers, parents, community groups and older people, both in a supportive role and in developing new community initiatives, helping groups to achieve their aims, facilitating consultation between community groups and statutory services and facilitating group problem solving and conflict resolution.

The groups I’ve worked with have been able to overcome physical and emotional barriers, inequality, disability and poverty to achieve change both for themselves and their communities.

Whether you’re a small community group or larger charity I can help you and your team to:

• Set a clear vision and strategy.
• Work co-operatively with shared values and beliefs.
• Overcome barriers – either perceived or real.
• Agree targets, roles and responsibilities.
• Build team spirit and co-operation.
• Improve leadership skills and performance.
• Recognise and appreciate differences and strengths
