Coaching & Mentoring

In this world of rapid and constant change, managers rarely have all the answers.

Do your managers have the coaching skills required to help teams find optimal solutions?

Companies are moving away from traditional command-and-control practices and toward something very different: a model in which managers give support and guidance rather than instructions, and employees learn how to adapt to constantly changing environments in ways that unleash fresh energy, innovation, and commitment.

Coaching can enhance people’s performance or help them progress in their career. Coaching can also help embed learning from a training programme.

Strive Development can assist your business either through coaching staff or training your managers in coaching skills.

Amanda Winder has a Level 5 qualification in Coaching & Mentoring.

Amanda has been a part of the KSA team for over a year now. Over this time, she has become one of our leading coaches on our management development programme. The coaching sessions focus on guiding the coachees through their 360-degree feedback report. Amanda’s extensive experience within the construction sector and ability to build rapport quickly build trusting relationships with the coachees to develop and grow their management skills.

She has also developed and delivered a bespoke programme to two people in a recruitment company that was new to managing others. The programme consisted of a 360-degree questionnaire and reported two online training sessions and 3-4 coaching sessions. The participants greatly benefited from the programme and reported that their confidence increased when dealing with managing others.
