Success in a leadership role is as much to do with behaviour as knowledge or experience. But behaviour is notoriously difficult to change – short-term training is unlikely to make much difference. A coaching relationship maintained over a period of months, sometimes years, can be one of the most effective ways to achieve behavioural change. Our coaches are experienced practitioners in business contexts, many have formal training in conflict resolution and give helpful advice for navigating difficult situations, most are also trained counsellors or psychologists.
We recommend coaching either standalone or in conjunction with our conflict mediation services, career transition programs, training programs and change management consulting advice. Coaching is often the missing piece within leadership development programs that helps to embed learnings and translate them into long-term sustained behaviours.
Did you know? Converge research, via our research arm, Reventure, shows that about half of all Australians are seeking to change their role in the next year. When asked why they were looking for another job, 36% said that they were actively looking to leave their organisation because of the leader directly above them and 46% said that the poor leadership at their workplace was the most stressful part of their job.
With coaching, rapport is important. To speak with some of our coaches and get a feel for our approach, email leadership@convergeintl.com.au or call our Leadership Consulting Team on 1300 687 327.
