We understand the benefits of developing human beings rather than human doings. We know that individuals must be encouraged to develop ideas, solve their own problems and take personal responsibility for their performance.

If you engage your people at a personal level you will discover the key to a motivated workforce. By embedding a coaching culture in your organisation you will promote employee engagement, develop cohesive teams that show initiative and take responsibility, develop your leadership talent and improve succession planning.

With increasing business challenges the role of the manager needs to change from one of decision maker to one of coach.  Managers must find new ways of engaging and supporting their teams to develop workable solutions, benefitting the business and giving ownership to individuals and teams.  In order to do this managers need to move away from a command and control approach to one that challenges teams to think harder and more broadly about issues, thereby expanding their perspective and improving their decision making skills.  

GOLD Performance Coaching provides an eco-friendly, affordable, time-efficient solution for busy managers and their teams, offering an uncomplicated approach to business growth in a structured, focused and effective environment.  We break down barriers and find the key to personal and professional success.

GOLD Performance Coaching has recently completed a programme of  "Taking the Stress out of Performance Management" for first and second line BT Openreach managers and is currently delivering a series of "Manager as Coach" Workshops to engage teams and introduce new leadership behaviours.

GOLD also provides a Coaching Programme to the BT Openreach Succession Academy. This strategy has been specifically designed to support the development of key managers by helping them to understand what motivates them, find ways to progress their careers, gain new perspectives and maintain focus.

Emma Tumelty, a BT Openreach General Manager, believes that "a directive 'command and control' style of leadership is outdated and in order for organisations to survive today's economic climate it needs to focus on how people are engaged, motivated and empowered to make decisions today for tomorrow".
