Coaching Provides Time For Reflection                                                                         

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is about helping them to learn rather than teaching them“.  Tim Gallwey.

Although Coaching originated in the world of sport, it is now widely recognised as a valuable tool for individuals and organisations. Coaching is about developing the performance of the individual which then has a positive impact on the organisation. Coaching provides a flexible way of learning that is tailored to both the needs of the individual and the needs of the organisation. It is about coach and coachee working together to identify where the coachee wants to be and how he or she can get there. It can be used at any level of the organisation and can be used on its own or in conjunction with other initiatives.  It is estimated that coaching is currently the third most frequently used solution to learning in the UK. A survey by ‘Manchester inc’  found that a company’s investment in providing coaching to its executives realised an average return on investment of almost 6 times the cost of coaching.  Organisations can use coaching to improve both the performance and the motivation of their staff.

Cognoscenti use a range of coaching methodologies to facilitate the learning of others e.g. cognitive behavioural coaching, solution focused coaching, Imagery techniques, relaxation etc. We currently offer: Executive coaching, Performance Coaching, Stress coaching and Career coaching.

Coaching For Individuals

We all have times in our lives where we feel that we are stuck in a rut. Coaching can help you to identify what you want from life and how best to obtain it.  Coaches work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to help them identify ways of achieving their potential or to improve their performance in some key area.

We have comfortable and private consulting rooms at West Pennine House in Greater Manchester or alternatively, we can see you at a location of your choice e.g. workplace, home etc.  Coaching can also take place by telephone.
