DIVERSITY AND EXECUTIVE COACHING
One-on-one personal coaching provides quality training and development, specifically tailor-made to the particular requirements of the client, without the costs and time commitment of open programmes or in-house activities. Because the material and programme is personally designed around the learning requirements of the delegate, this approach not only delivers high performance training, it motivates the delegate into swiftly putting the training into action. It's fast, it's
effective and it provides training and development that really works!
Many senior managers will have attended awareness raising workshops in the areas of equality and diversity. However, they might not be aware of the critical importance of their own behaviour and the powerful impact of their role modelling. They might also have felt inhibited, in a training programme, of admitting to difficulties they faced personally in taking
some of these issues on board. The coaching programme is a safe environment to concentrate on the acquisition of new skills in this area so that their leadership role in implementing any diversity initiative can be effective.
For whom is coaching appropriate?
- Senior Managers who wish to expand their communication styles in order to address and respond to diversity
issues with their staff
- Senior Managers who wish to address their own behavioural issues with regard to diversity
- Senior Managers who have identified they need one to one coaching as a follow up to a one day training programme
- Senior Managers for whom a traditional training programme may not be effective
- Managers who need some privacy to develop/polish new or existing skills
- Managers who are 'stuck in a rut' and don't know how to change or progress

Coaching methodology
Our approach to coaching is that of an informed discussion, working towards agreed objectives, on a series of specified and work related topics, with measurable standards of assessment.
We aim for an informal and relaxed, but appropriately work-like environment, either at the client's premises or at a neutral location. The consultant will be constantly working to assist the delegate review his/her behaviour and compare it with other approaches which would enhance the achievement of his/her performance.
The consultant will be working to a previously agreed programme, and his/her role is that of a facilitator rather than a trainer, with the focus on encouraging the delegate to think through the impact of his/her behaviour, identify the origins of such behaviour, and initiate and support plans for change.
George Coyle, Domino's Co-Director, is the lead consultant on this initiative and he would be delighted to talk to you about it.
