Teams can achieve what individuals can’t and over recent years there has been an increased focus how to enhance a teams’ performance.

In 1999 Katzenbach and Smith described teams as: ‘A small number of people with complimentary skills, who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach, for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.’

Team coaching recognizes that a team is a (complex) ‘system’ that can be pro-atively developed. David Clutterbuck described it in 2009 as: ‘helping the team improve performance and the processes by which performance is achieved, through reflection and dialogue.”

Martin has worked with teams, improving their performance across a wide range of sectors and regions He is also an Adjunct Faculty member of the Global Team Coaching Institute.

A Career Transition programme is offered by organizations to employees who have been affected by impacted by downsizing or layoffs. It is intended to assist with the transition from the former position of employment through exploration of new opportunities leading to a new role.

Why Employers should offer one.
During any time of job reductions the “survivors” are likely to feel less secure in their jobs and so increased stress. In many cases this leads to less engaged employees. This may lead to decreased productivity or higher turnover in the very talent you most need to retain.
Offering a Career Transition programme demonstrates to remaining employees their colleagues were treated fairly and supported.

There are several key benefits to offering a Career Transition Programme:

Increased retention for remaining employees
Improved morale and productivity, and reduced absenteeism following layoff
Maintained or enhanced market reputation
Our programmes are designed to work with the individual to address their career needs after exit, help identify and understand their strengths, assess their career planning, and put these plans into action to secure their new goal , which can be an employed or self-employed role opportunity

Each programme is tailor-made and a professionally matched coach will work with the candidate to guide him/her through a number of steps designed to:

explore their values and goals (where appropriate we use assessment instruments e.g. Life Orientations www.lifeorientations.com to:
assess the current market for their experience
identify strengths and how to package these into a “personal brand” (through their CV, online i.e. LinkedIn and in person through their “elevator pitch”)
build networking skills (online and face-to-face)
improve interview techniques, using ‘mock’ interviews
enhance their negotiation skills when a job offer is secured

As W Edwards-Deming said: “Learning isn’t compulsory, nor is survival”. In todays’ (and more importantly, tomorrow’s) competitive business environment, isn’t it essential that any progressive and successful organisation should invest in its most important asset: its people?
