peer coaching exercises
Coaching is often out of reach for all but the most senior executives. Yet the ability to coach others, to help them find solutions to their challenges, is one of the most useful skills in the workplace. Our peer coaching download introduces some accessible coaching tools for you to use immediately with your colleagues, to help unlock new thinking and provide them with practical support.
emotional intelligence
Emotions drive every decision that we make, whether we realise it or not… and much of the time we don’t! Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a skill that helps you work with emotions and can be really valuable in the workplace. It’s all about understanding your own emotions and those of your colleagues, and being able to handle them in a smart way. That means better communication, better relationships, and better performance.
