Developing talent using a coaching approach
Google’s Oxygen project explored why some managers are better and more effective than others and one of the critical skills identified was their ability to coach. Coaching enables a culture of learning, collaboration, employee engagement and a desire to achieve. Successful organisations use coaching skills to improve performance, communication and output.
“I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.” ― John Russell, Managing Director, Harley―Davidson Europe Ltd

Feedback from clients who have worked with SCT to develop a coaching approach
Catering & Hospitality Business Adviser : “As a professional business advisor I needed help in bordening my skill-set to include aspects of coaching and mentoring. David Rigby helped me to really understand the differences and how to apply the techniques.”
Operations Director – Insurance Business “…I was highly critical of the staff…Isla helped me to understand the reason that this was happening and why. Over the years, a pattern of only hearing negative feedback had developed; therefore this was having an impact on my perception of the workforce and company. Taking a coaching approach…created a more motivated, content workforce.”
