Coaching: One Person at a Time
Which of your people would grow fastest with someone in their corner? Group training reaches everyone shallowly. Coaching changes the few who set the direction for the rest.
Training
Transferring a skill somebody does not have yet. Structured, has a syllabus, and you can tell afterwards whether it worked because they can now do the thing.
Coaching
Helping somebody use judgement they already have. No syllabus, driven by what is in front of them this month, and measured by the decisions they make differently.
Who we work with
Founders
Usually the person with nobody to think out loud with. Most sessions are less about advice than about having decisions properly challenged.
First-time managers
Promoted for being good at the work, now responsible for people, and given no preparation for the second job.
Marketing leads
Capable operators who need to move from executing campaigns to setting direction and defending a budget.
Technical leads
Engineers stepping into decisions about architecture, vendors and hiring rather than only about code.
Fortnightly, 90 minutes
Frequent enough for momentum, spaced enough that something happens between sessions.
A three-month minimum
Below that nothing measurable changes, and we would rather decline than take the fee.
Confidential
What is said in a coaching session does not go back to the employer. Without that, the sessions are theatre.
