Coaching client archive
Councillor X contacted us after having experienced several instances of direct conflict with a fellow councillor in the Chamber. Councillor X was unsure of the best way to manage the situation and initially thought he might want to utilise our mediation and advice services. However, after a short phone call it became apparent Councillor X wanted to improve his active listening and mindful communication skills so he could better influence the Chamber and outcomes.
His coaching sessions focused on the practical skills of communicating and he practiced in real time the art of putting these skills into action with his coach.

Coaching process
Phase 1
Self-observation
A self-led audit tool to evaluate your current skills against the capability framework for local councillors
in NSW. This self-reflection is the crucial first step to the process.
Phase 2
Collaborative design
We debrief on the audit tool and identify your most desired learning areas and blind spots. You will receive an action plan to successfully transform
knowledge gaps into leadership assets.
Phase 3
Growth & impact
Online coaching sessions to get you from where you are now to where you need to be so that you can fully serve your community and reach your leadership potential.
Phase 4
Connect & support
Councillors gain access to our exclusive alumni network for
councillors who have completed our coaching programs. This provides on going peer support.
