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 but he also got to practice in real time the art of putting these skills into action with his coach.
