I-CAN-DO Manager Support
Programme
Many managers too frequently find themselves fire-fighting or struggling to get
the job done. By their own admission they are unable to devote the time they
feel they should to long-term planning, taking the "helicopter" view, surveying
alternatives or just taking a step back from the front line.
That's where our Manager Support Programme comes in. We will work with you (or
your employees) to build self-reliance, self belief and expand your management
capabilities in a way that is right for you and your organisation.
What is the I-CAN-DO
Manager Support Programme?
Performance coaching is a
critical activity which supports individual development and provides new
direction in terms of personal effectiveness, customer satisfaction, improved
productivity and organisational success.
Like other competitive
individuals such as athletes who hire a personal coach to improve and enhance
their performance, business managers are appreciating that they too require
coaching in acquiring, maintaining and updating their skills and competencies.
Our Manager Support
Programme is therefore designed to help managers gain the confidence and
improved personal effectiveness to do their job better while, at the same time,
reducing stress and raising confidence and personal energy levels.
Coaching is about change
and change entails learning. Learning is not, however, just about acquiring
knowledge, so our programme is based around being able to demonstrate knowledge
by taking action.
Who is it aimed at?
Our Manager Support
Programme is aimed at anyone with responsibility for managing people.
What does the programme
involve?
Our role is to observe and
provide an objective perspective on the issues and problems facing managers
today –
what is working and not working. We can recognise patterns and spot negative
reactions before the manager or business owner does. We ask questions in a
manner that facilitates a discussion of possibilities and opportunities, and
guide and support individuals through the process of personal and organisational
performance and development.
Our I-CAN-DO coaching
programme involves :
I – gathering relevant
background information
C – defining the current
situation
A – identifying and
agreeing what the aims are for coaching
N – discussing a number of
options to be discussed (with the opportunity to try out different scenarios in
a safe, non- judgmental environment)
D – setting dates and
timescales for any actions to be completed
O – deciding on and
working towards the specified outcome
We aim to improve your
self-awareness and self-knowledge and help you develop a more participative,
consultative and enjoyable style of management. We also help you discover your
‘true self’ in order to align your personal values and beliefs with those of the
organisation to ensure a sense of common cause and shared vision.
Before each coaching
session you’ll be asked to complete a coaching preparation form to list your
objectives and goals for the session then, during the session, we’ll really get
down to details. We’ll discuss the current situation, agree your aims and
objectives, identify as many options as possible then help you design your own
action plan with timescales to achieve it. You’ll also be given a series of
activities to complete before you meet your coach again.
Before the next session,
we’ll ask you to list the actions you’ve taken since the last coaching session
to identify what, if anything, remains outstanding.
Your progress will be
tracked during each session using the Freeze-Framer® Interactive Learning
System, HeartMath’s software technology with patented heart rhythm monitor.
This innovative, award-winning system, based on 12 years of scientific research,
is designed to show you how changing your thoughts and behaviour affects your
performance. You’ll actually see your heart rhythm pattern – in real time - on
a PC screen, enabling you to observe performance changes and improvements during
every session. You’ll also learn how to manage and reduce stress and improve
your energy and health.
How long does it take?
Our coaching programme
normally involves six meetings over a period of up to three months (or longer),
depending on your needs. We meet with you usually once a fortnight (or more
often depending on the level of support required) and meetings normally last 1½
hours.
What does the programme
achieve?
The programme is designed
to help you achieve results, build your confidence and allow you to return to
the workplace with clear goals and an action plan to achieve them. Your
creativity and problem-solving ability will increase as you build rapport with
your coach, and your personal effectiveness will increase as you progress
through the programme. You will become a more effective and well-balanced
manager.
