Coaching Consultancy
However effective you believe coaching to be, it is worth ensuring that it is both appropriate, and will be delivering the intended return on expectations. To this end, you need a clear understanding of the climate in which the coaching or learning interventions are taking place in order for them to be aligned and valued.
It is well documented that for coaching to be successful, the organisational culture and climate should be supportive of learning and development, as well as knowledge sharing. In a recent report, Clutterbuck and Megginson state that coaching will only truly be successful in organisations “where commitment to improving the organisation is embedded in a parallel commitment to improving the people” (Making Coaching Work, 2005, CIPD). On the other hand, you can also find studies boasting of coaching successes and improvement, but which have only been applied in distinct and focussed initiatives.
Primeast recognise you need clarity to be able to make informed decisions as to how coaching will benefit and transform your organisation. Our facilitative and coaching approach provides a role model for some of the benefits of coaching, and will help you in clarifying which coaching journey you are best embarking on.

Our approach

We have our own specific ELAS framework (right) which helps to establish needs and then more specifically the responsibilities related to achieving powerful and sustainable results.
