At Ellwood Atfield we know and place CEO’s, Senior Advisors and Corporate Affairs Directors across the communications sphere every day. Through our experience and connections, we understand that sometimes leadership – or even the path to leadership – can be a lonely place. Everyone needs a little help sometimes with personal development challenges, from increasing leadership effectiveness and stepping up to a new and bigger role, to managing personal and career development.
Coaching
A coaching programme gives a confidential, non-judgmental space in which to explore pressures and responsibilities, and then create strategies and action plans to increase effectiveness. Programmes typically take place over an agreed period of months – goals are agreed at the start and reviewed and assessed throughout the programme. Coaching can show you how to build appreciation for the value of your work – and win support from your colleagues to achieve aims and goals.
Mentoring
In addition to our expert coaches, the EA Coaching Network includes a number of professional mentors. Mentoring uses many of the same principles as coaching to support learning and development by offering insights gained from practical experience in a similar role. Consequently, the main difference is the provision of practical hands-on advice based on the mentor’s functional expertise, as they will have functional experience directly relevant to the mentee.
