Coaching
The Science
"Changing behaviour (what we do or say) is the most important challenge for businesses trying to compete in a turbulent world", says John Kotter, a Harvard Business School professor. "The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behaviour of people."
To achieve successful change and/or learning, it is now evident that the behavioural aspects which underlie a person's actions are the critically important elements which require assessing and management.
Coaching, in it's purest sense is a scientific, systematic and systemic approach that requires using a wide range of validated tools, techniques and models that are drawn and developed from many disciplines and fields of learning such as the behavioural sciences.
By engaging in targeted, structured coaching exercises we are all now able to develop key cognitive skills to enhance our capacity to succeed. This remarkable power we all possess to transform our brain has far-reaching implications in workplace coaching.
Harding & Yorke coaches are well aware that only validated behavioral tools and techniques can achieve genuine, sustainable and measurable results. Changing behaviour with the right techniques and delivery mechanisms can have a dramatic, beneficial influence on human dynamics, the cultural, environmental and performance of an organisation.
Some behavioural change can even affect how a person views themselves and others around them. It is therefore imperative as responsible coaches that we understand how to professionally use the behavioural tools and techniques.
Behaviour (what we do or say) is learned. Behaviour is not a person's innate personality.
As qualified coaches we not only have to be knowledgeable about the techniques we employ but also how to competently and responsibly use them. Understanding the psychological foundations of techniques and knowing how, when and why the technique works also allows us to give a clear rationale for its use to the coachee.
