Most difficulties that people face at work relate to interpersonal
relationships with co-workers, supervisors, peers, direct reports, or internal customers.
The problems encountered are less frequently the technical problems related to business.
To be effective, you need to get co-operation, support and collaboration from all or many
of these groups while dealing with the day-to-day restraints such as time-management
issues, transitions from technical to managerial responsibilities, etc.
Taking the time to
deal effectively with people issues without being abrupt or over bearing can sometimes
seem to be too much to ask of yourself and people you interact with on a regular basis.
This is why quantumiii developed a particular type of coaching to help deal with these
very important interpersonal problems.
Executive Coaching is a relatively new profession. It has it's roots in
the best of business, communication, consulting, sports, training, mentoring, psychology,
philosophy and the social sciences. At quantumiii an Executive Coach is a "people
specialist" who fully understand the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and how
they impact on performance rather than a coach who is just a business specialist.
quantumiii focuses on helping our clients develop more effective communication skills and
interpersonal relationships.
The purpose of quantumiii is to help the leader in business make permanent
improvements in their performance, including all aspects of their working and
communications styles. Together the client and coach create a specifically tailored
program to develop the executive’s strengths, strengthen weaknesses and formulate
positive business performance.
quantumiii provides ideas, positive support, encouragement and a trusted
colleague to enable the client to do their job more effectively. The tools that the client
develops through working with quantumiii are long-lasting, improving the client’s
interpersonal skills and impacting on overall performance.
quantumiii works with clients to make them more effective in solving the
problems that they encounter in their work life. They do not focus on the specific
technical problems (as they are not lawyers, accountants, engineers or systems analysts).
They do however, focus on the day-to-day, interpersonal challenges that they could be
better at controlling and working through.
The character, communication skills and listening ability of the executive
business leader are more important than ever before. Employees expect more polish,
sophistication and subtlety from their co-workers and especially from senior management.
This, plus the increased use of virtual communication methods requires that the personal
side/real-person side of the executive comes through, making it necessary to
lead-by-attraction rather than lead-by-control.
Although people at all levels of an organisation can benefit from
quantumiii coaching, business leaders and professionals need ongoing support in their
desire to increase their effectiveness in business and enhance the quality of their lives.
We are finally realising, as we approach the millennium, the importance of quality of life
and we are doing something about it.
quantumiii provides a dynamic and confidential
environment for you to explore how you can do this. It shows you how your personality type
affects others, which in turn impacts back upon you and your organisation. This work
emphasises human growth and individual improvement as the basis for your health and
productivity and your organisation’s health and productivity.
Coaching provides a unique opportunity for the aware executive to continue
one’s own training to optimise management and leadership abilities. Although ongoing
training for employees is often an important part of the operating budget of a company,
equally often, additional training for senior executives has not been a priority.
quantumiii coaching for senior managers and leaders who oversee many aspects of a business
should be an integral component to upgrading their management and interpersonal skills.
Money spent in this area has been shown to benefit the entire business.
Speaking clearly and holding others accountable is a difficult task, even
for the most successful businessperson. Communicating involves more than telling someone
what to do or what is not appropriate behaviour. It requires a deeper level of involvement
and the ability to actively listen to what the other person is saying and taking it into
account. Most individuals need assistance with developing interpersonal communication
skills.
quantumiii will work with you, within the security of the coaching sessions, to
help you improve in this area. They make sure that, through ongoing sessions and working
through real-life situations, you are able to utilise your newly-formed interpersonal
communications skills on a daily basis in any circumstance.
quantumiii will encourage you to set even higher and more rewarding
personal goals that you would set on your own. They assist you in articulating unformed
ideas about how you would like your interpersonal relationships to be and to create a plan
to achieve these goals.
You as an entrepreneur, executive, leader and professional are an
energetic, independent thinker with a vision of where you want yourself and your
organisation to go. You are accustomed to seeking resources outside your own company in
order to achieve both your own and your organisation’s successes and continued
growth.
quantumiii is the resource you need to take the leap into the
future you deserve.
quantumiii can provide you with the tools you need to accomplish your objectives.
