Coaching

This spherical astrolabe known as an armillary sphere was probably orginally used for observations of the stars and planets by Ptolemy.

More recently this image was used by Renaissance artists to represent both Wisdom and Knowledge. KTC's work supports the belief that both these attributes are equally vital to a leader in modern business.

Coaching is a well-proven process for accomplishing specific improvement and excellence in professional and personal performance. It can be tightly focused to address specific obstacles or diffused to raise the level of achievement overall.

The one-to-one relationship between the coach and client allows a range of areas - from the most technical to the deeply personal - to be tackled confidentially. This process leads directly to improvements in effectiveness and morale for the client and therefore for the teams working under them, producing tangible improvements in performance.

Radical Reintegrative Coaching (RRC) is the method of coaching designed and practised by Jan Storey. Her experience of working with senior people in many organisations reveals that many had risen rapidly through the business hierarchy with 'technical' skills and knowledge that were second to none, but deficiencies in their ability to lead, communicate, relate, transform and inspire others to succeed.

This 'lopsided' profile is often initially undetected until the person has risen higher within the organisation to the point where technical skill no longer masks a deficiency in the higher human skills and style vital to a leader.

This deficiency in middle and senior management is costly; in terms of wasted time, money, talent and effort caused by miscommunication, poor relationships, failure to adequately influence and grow people and the inability to inspire.

RRC enables protection of the investment in senior staff by developing talented individuals into talented leaders.
