1:1 Coaching & Mentoring.

 

Become a truly effective leader.

 

 

 
In a management or leadership position you’re often juggling many responsibilities. When coupled with a highly competitive and ever-changing science and technology marketplace, where the demand for continued growth and improved results is greater than ever before, being an effective manager is a demanding role. 
 
Our one to one coaching and mentoring programs are designed to support new or experienced managers navigate the unique challenges of leadership in the world of science and technology. Whether you or one of your team are struggling to manage a busy schedule or need help coaching a team, boosting sales performance or reaching targets, we can tailor our one to one program to suit individual needs.

Why should I consider 1:1 coaching?

 
 
Group training and coaching, such as our in-house training and open programs, is a fantastic way to help teams increase their collective effectiveness and cohesiveness. But sometimes a more personal approach is needed.
  
One-to-one coaching and mentoring is a highly personalised approach that supports professional development and holds several benefits, including:
Tailored solutions to your unique challenges
 
The programme is precisely tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Receptive & non-judgemental environment
 
It allows you to open up in a confidential space and express your challenges, concerns & questions. 
Taking accountability
 
It is easier for your coach to hold you accountable and therefore, you're more likely to implement your training and see results. 
Dynamic coaching approach
 
Sessions can be adapted based on what comes up to ensure a close focus on your goals.
Flexible coaching schedule
 
The timing of sessions is flexible and can be booked to fit around your schedule.

Who should consider 1:1 coaching?

 

There's a misconception that coaching is only required when there's an obvious problem.  Although coaching is recommended to support managers with specific challenges, it can also be successfully used to: 
 
'Fast track' a new manager into their role
Having had no previous formal training and development.

Prepare an individual
for the next management step.

Support a manager
through periods of intense change. 

Support a new manager
struggling to establish themselves and develop their team. 

Help an underperforming manager 
who has lost their way after a promising start.

What can you expect from us?

We’ll find your best match

 

We start with you. We’ll have the right conversations with you, your manager and any relevant key partners to gain an insight into you and your business. With an idea of your background, experience, challenges and personality, we’ll decide together who from our team of George James coaches will be the best fit to work with you.

Plan for success

 

Together with your coach, you’ll identify and agree the changes or results you want to see and then formulate the success criteria, programme agenda and ensure these align with your business goals. We’ll iron out the details – such as the length of the coaching program and intervals between coaching days while ensuring this remains flexible to accommodate for your needs, schedule, and progress. 

 Getting stuck in 

 

We can work with you on a face to face basis either in-person or remotely as well as provide a series of scheduled and on-demand telephone support. We’ll utilise a variety of techniques and tools to assist your learning and development process - such as role play, attendance at key team meetings, Belbin profiling and formal report back exercises.

Don't just take our word for it
Here's what our customers say...

“Thank you very much for all of the training sessions since August! I received a lot of great feedback from our Sales Team members about all that they have taken away from the trainings. The role playing session was extremely helpful in coaching them to use all concepts earlier training sessions to the end: qualification - NAMTCR, how to develop relationship with KOL's, facing competition, handling objections (APIAC), and making great presentations. The team very much enjoyed everything, and appreciate that you made it fun! We are all much more equipped than before!"

 
Larry
Associate Director of Sales
 

"The course last week was excellent, really really great for me just a few months into this world of sales. I have already been using some of the things you taught us and I have my first solo visit to a client next week and will definitely be starting the meeting with TRA!"

 
Sarah

"Pru's Sales Leadership Programme is insightful, well structured, and there is a story to give the real-world context for every example. You come wanting to put everything into action, but the course helps you to channel your enthusiasm and energy into some achievable short and medium-term goals. All in all, an incredibly valuable experience."
