Individual managers and employees face a variety of professional challenges, creating an increasing need for brief individual coaching programmes. Gear’s specialist coaches effectively identify personal areas for development and then translate them into practical improvements.

A few typical areas requiring attention are summarised below to give an idea of some of the coaching topics that could be to your benefit

  • Development of personal SWOT: we work with you constructively to conduct a Strengths and Weaknesses analysis with regard to the Opportunities and Threats that present themselves in order to produce a strong personal development plan.

  • Better self-organisation: the way in which tasks are prioritised allows a person to be in charge and to see the bigger picture; your employees will perform the right tasks at the right time, naturally resulting in great improvements in their personal effectiveness.

  • Need for more assertiveness: this means being able to stand up constructively for yourself (or the company) and for your own opinions, rights and viewpoints, and without engaging customers or colleagues in an inappropriate manner. This may, in particular, be a point of attention with regard to managers and employees with a compliant mindset, resulting in the interests of the company or those of the employee being short-changed.

  • Prevention of burnout: burnout is a serious threat to both the continuity of the company and the health of the manager or employee. Burnout is often the result of a combination of three factors: work pressure, personal issues and social factors. Disregarding personal limitations (over a long period), coupled with perfectionism or uncertainty, and a failure to recognise or acknowledge your body’s signals of distress can lead to symptoms of burnout.

  • Improvement of personal health: the Romans had a point with their “mens sana in corpore sano” (a healthy mind in a healthy body). When your mental capabilities are taxed, sufficient attention to your health in terms of nutrition and movement is absolutely vital. Here too, Gear can provide specialist personal coaching because our team also has knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of orthomolecular medicine.

Gear is certified to use various proven tools, such as DISC® and Talent Paspoort®, to underpin development with effective and solid foundations.

We will be happy to discuss this approach with you personally!
