Additional Services

Mentoring Support for new businesses

Setting up your own business is both exciting and a roller coaster experience. We appreciate that new business owners are often overwhelmed with the number of choices and decisions they need to make in their first year as well as dealing with the loneliness of being a sole trader.   Mentoring provides support and guidance from accredited and experienced business owners who advise on many areas from creating an initial business plan to setting realistic and achievable goals that will set them up well for the years to come.

 

We offer full mentoring support for those in their first year of business and for those considering whether self-employment is the right choice for them. We help with business planning, time management, marketing strategy, networking, goal setting, provide accountability and a critical friend, all essential skills to ensure your business gets off to a flying start.

Coaching supervision

Simply described as the ‘coaches coach’, supervision is essential for all coaches especially those who are newly accredited. Rebecca Leppard has extensive experience in developing a pool of internal coaches within organisations as well as supporting internal coaches to develop and improve their skills.

 

360 degree feedback

360 degree feedback is the perfect start to a coaching conversation as it helps to identify areas of development and increases self-awareness. It is proven to improve employees’ effectiveness and support an individual’s continuous development.

 

We provide an end-to-end 360 degree process from sending out the initial reports online to facilitating face-to-face feedback sessions for all participants. We also offer impartial feedback for organisations that use their own internal 360 reports.

 

Additionally Rebecca Leppard is an accredited 360 degree feedback facilitator for the NHS Leadership Framework and offers 2 hour feedback sessions, as recommended by the NHS Leadership Academy. CLICK HERE for more details on the Healthcare leadership model 360 degree feedback tool.

Why Use A Coach?

Coaching is a simple but powerful intervention that really works. Coaching principles start from a positive stand point believing that you have the answers and the resources you need to change, develop and get to where you want to be.

ILM research shows that 95% of learning and development managers say that coaching has delivered tangible benefits to their business www.i-l-m.com.

Working with a coach will enable you to seek clarity, make sense of where you are and where you want to get to, whether that’s in your work or home life. Coaching will help you to put achievable and realistic plans in place, realise what’s important and give you more energy to focus on the positive areas of your life.

As a result you will be more effective, with greater communication skills and self-awareness. These are invaluable skills whether you manage a team of people, are seeking a career change or juggle a busy family life. Coaching helps to reduce stress, increase productivity and gives you more confidence in your own abilities as well as helping you to improve the performance of others.

Coaching is challenging, practical and action focused in a safe and confidential environment that will enable you to grow and develop into the person you’ve always wanted to be.

DO YOU:-

  • Want to go for that promotion at work or are you seeking a new direction in your career?
  • Want to be more focused, plan your time effectively and create achievable goals?
  • Want to be less stressed and have a better work/life balance?
  • Want to gain greater confidence in your own abilities, believing you CAN get to where you want to be?

Then coaching is for you!

Coaching gives you space to think, bounce ideas around and try out new ways of working in a safe environment where the coach is purely there to support you.

In this busy world where we are always ‘on-line’ through smart phones, email and social media, coaching provides valuable time out that we all need to help us think, plan and work out what is important.

What should I look for in a coach?

Good coaches will use and follow these principles in their coaching sessions:-

  • A coach must always be supportive and non-judgemental
  • Listening is more important than talking
  • What motivates people must be fully explored and understood
  • Everyone is capable of achieving more
  • A persons past is no indication of their future
  • Peoples beliefs about what is possible for themselves are their only limits
  • Coaches do not provide the answers
  • Coaching does not include criticizing others
  • Coaching is confidential
  • Some people’s needs cannot be met through coaching. Coaches will signpost their clients onto alternative, more suitable interventions that are in their best interest.

  • Rebecca is a highly skilled and professional coach/mentor. She has a unique ability to enhance the potential skills and talents of others. In her role Talent Manager, Blood Donation, she developed the NHSBT coaching/mentoring scheme including writing and delivering the training. The scheme has proved to be highly successful as a way of supporting NHSBT staff in their development journey and the organisation in one of its strategic objectives of succession planning. I became part of Rebecca’s mentoring team and she was an excellent role model and continued to develop other mentors/coaches through delivering master classes and action learning sets. Rebecca’s own talent was identified and she became an Organisation Workforce Development Business Partner within NHSBT where her enthusiasm for developing staff continued with a wider remit.

    Aongus McGrane, Head of Learning & Organisational Development, NHS Blood and Transplant
  • I began my coaching with Rebecca after experiencing work-related stress. My aim was to reduce my stress levels and to become more effective as a manager. Rebecca helped me to focus on the most pressing challenges I faced and to work through them practically, using different models and techniques. Rebecca’s skilled questioning, insight and excellent listening abilities meant that I was provided with the perfect balance of training vs facilitating and challenge vs support. Not only have I gone a long way to achieving my professional goals, the skills I learned have also helped in my personal life. I have gained confidence in my own abilities and used my new coaching skills to encourage and guide staff in my care. It is also reassuring to know that as I continue to practice and develop the techniques I have learned, Rebecca is still available to contact should I need extra input and support. That is really good to know! Thank you Rebecca. Your coaching and mentoring has been hugely beneficial and restored my enthusiasm for the job that I do and my ability to perform it.

  • I know you will undoubtedly be getting feedback from the L&D team, but I just want to tell you how positively myself and all the other graduates reacted to our day with you. Your name was mentioned a lot the following day in terms of our highlights for the week; the word ‘engaging’ was used quite a bit. You really are one of those people who is perfectly suited to the job they do!
    Graduate Training, September 2017

    • Rebecca knew a lot about the subject matter and made it specific to the role

    Engage, Influence, Deliver Programme, Pharmaceutical, October 2017
  • Rebecca is an Amazing Coach....she is insightful, warm and completely committed. Rebecca's coaching sessions, empowering me to move on from where I was a year ago, to a place now where I am about to launch my Business. I began working with Rebecca when I was close to finishing my original collection of artwork. It was during this time, the task of getting my work into the public domain seemed massive and something that filled me with fear! Rebecca helped me to see the tasks as opportunities for personal growth, and aided me in breaking the task down into smaller, workable steps. I am a very visual thinker and Rebecca was flexible in the way we approached this, working to my strengths. Rebecca helped me to understand my thought process, and has equipped me with practical ways to plan, reflect and overcome obstacles, techniques that are still very relevant to me now. Rebecca was always professional, and I felt safe to talk about things that are personal to me. Rebecca's coaching sessions were invaluable to me, at a time where I felt at my most vulnerable. They have helped me gain the confidence and momentum I have needed to launch my own business
