Q. What are the benefits of Worklife coaching for me?

A. Worklife coaching helps you to change your professional life

Worklife Coaching is likely to be the most life-changing professional personal development you will ever undertake. It’s about awareness, acceptance, energy and change.

Those prepared to invest energy and commitment to change can expect to reap dividends that impact them and the people around them – for good.

However, it’s not all up to you – the reality of life is messy, you’re not in control of everything and we all need help sometimes.

And it’s not all about you! We understand that you don’t operate in a bubble – there are people around you and in the world beyond who matter and who are affected by you which is why it is about work and life.

At Clennam, we consider the reality of your situation and your whole context in deciding how to move forward with hope and expectation of positive change.

Q. How does it work?

A. It’s a simple 4 step process

For one to one coaching

  1. We have an initial, no obligation, chat to find out whether coaching is suitable for you and to determine whether we could work well together.
  2. We agree the overall goals, the shape and fees for the coaching programme with the involvement of your employer or privately.
  3. The coaching programme starts and we ‘meet’ either face to face, virtually (via zoom/skype) and/or using a secure text-based coaching platform – whichever combination suits you best.
  4. We will ‘meet’ every 1-4 weeks for 30-90 minutes and be in contact as much as you like in between in order to ensure you have a continuous coaching experience, if this is what you wish.

For team coaching

  1. We will have an initial exploratory meeting with the sponsor, and also the team leader to get to know the team context, the organisation and the purpose of the work.
  2. Following an acceptable proposal, we will conduct a team engagement session so that the whole team and we can agree whether or not the work will go ahead.
  3. Should the work proceed, there will be a Team Discovery stage to collectively define the work to be done and agreed ways of working together.
  4. The team coaching then runs over a period of several months and includes one to one coaching, team coaching and live action coaching with regular review stages and a final review.
