Performance Coaching for executives and managers
Solution focused coaching is a novel way of helping senior executives and middle managers both to achieve their full potential and to manage change in their particular areas of responsibility within their organisations. Because results are achieved quickly with a minimum number of sessions, it is very cost effective.
Coaching as a management tool within organisations has become popular over the past five years and takes different forms. In line with the philosophy of PPC of empowering people by building on their strengths – rather than analysing and diagnosing problems – we adopt a solution oriented methodology. By encouraging the person being coached (coachee) to focus on their own skills, strengths and resources we enable them to develop a personal habit of tailored solution building.

Crisis Response - interpersonal responses in time of crisis
This one day training module is designed to prepare key staff for handling interpersonal communications during crisis situations or in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be used to compliment disaster incident planning, or in any setting where staff might be expected to respond to others who are themselves distressed because of recent news or events. Typically this would be other staff members, their families or service users. The day focuses on advanced communications techniques, reactions to grief and bereavement, the psychological and behavioural impact of tragedy with suggestions for the appropriate steps to take once the immediate safety and survival concerns have been addressed.
