We are qualified in a range of tools which complement and enhance our coaching practice but also further support our clients’ needs. These include:
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment has helped millions of people worldwide gain insights about themselves and how they interact with others. It provides a powerful framework for building better relationships, driving positive change, harnessing innovation, and achieving excellence.
A number of our coaches are qualified The Myers-Briggs assessment practitioners. It is the world’s most trusted personality assessment – reliable, valid and backed by ongoing global research. MBTI is insightful and thought provoking. It has a number of different applications but essentially deepens peoples understanding of their personality type and the impact our style can have on others.
EQ-i
The EQ-i instrument was developed, and is used, to assess the presence and degree of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. The EQ-i is a valued tool extensively as it identifies and raises awareness of an individual’s EQ-related abilities and a number of our coaches are qualified EQ –i practitioners.
360 Feedback
In our experience properly constructed 360 feedback conducted by an external facilitator can have a very positive impact on both the individual receiving the feedback and also the employees providing the feedback. It can promote long term employee loyalty as people feel valued and believe that their opinion matters.
We believe it is important to understand who you are as leader. 360 Feedback provides an individual with not just a rich understanding of their current stage of leadership but the resulting coaching discussions enable an individual to think about the next stage of leadership. This clarity will help the individual transition to the next stage and confidently take the organisation forward. There has been much research conducted (in the USA and UK) that shows that leaders who undertake a ‘voyage of personal understanding’ not only transform their own capability, but that of their organisation, the sector and society more broadly.
Our coaches have experience in a variety of 360 tools.
Action Learning
Action Learning involves working on real problems, focusing on learning and actually implementing solutions. It is a form of learning by doing. There are many benefits of Action Leaning for both individuals and organisations. These include having the opportunity to reflect, exploring new perspectives, developing options, setting goals and taking action. It increases self awareness and encourages people to take responsibility for their actions – helping them work through the impact that they may have.
