Professional development coaching

Zest at work coaching is a one-to-one confidential service. Our coach helps clients identify goals clearly and together the client and coach form a coaching relationship to support, encourage and further personal development and growth.

Coaching is suitable for everyone but is particularly relevant for those seeking a new challenge, newly appointed managers, top team, strategic planners, as well as anyone seeking to develop their leadership toolkit or further their personal development.

From a business perspective, coaching improves team efficiency, promotes team morale and unlocks group potential. Your coach can help instil a culture of sustainable learning, effective communication and increased capacity to change and deal with adversity.

Sessions are typically 60/90 mins in length and are one to one, currently conducted via Zoom. At the beginning of the coaching relationship, your coach will address goal setting, look at strengths, values and growth opportunities. 4+ sessions are recommended for each participant and may be spaced out over a number of weeks or months. Prior to committing to a client, your coach will complete a 20 minute ‘chemistry session’ free of charge in order to confirm that we are the right fit for you.

The benefits of coaching

Your coach can share an external view of the situation and help you shed light on challenging relationships as well as helping you to recognise the capabilities, strengths and development members in others.
