Work Coaching

Stimulate change by supporting your staff
Poor working relationships, lack of team motivation?

If any of these sound familiar then coaching may be right for some of your team members or project leaders.

InterHealth has teamed up with AMAK Organisational Psychologists to offer a stimulating new coaching service that combines coaching and psychological health expertise. Personal attributes, current and past experiences in the workplace all contribute to an individual’s ability to perform in the workplace.

Time management, interpersonal skills, anger issues can make meeting deadlines and working with other team members very challenging. Coaching can help an individual to focus on the root cause of issues that are making their work life difficult in order to create pathways for improvement and better performance.

Can you identify if any of your staff need support with coaching that could improve the success of projects?
