Building Momentum: The secret to lasting change

The Power of Coaching

Ever heard the name Glen Mills?  

If you’re a big fan of athletics, you might recognise his name. He has coached many athletes one on one, including one you will certainly have heard of: Usain Bolt.

Even for the most capable, gifted people, one of the best things they can benefit from is having an outside perspective supporting with guidance and goal setting.

You might look at the athletic abilities of Usain Bolt, Simone Biles or Christiano Renaldo and think “they train every single day with support from a coach, so of course they’re the best in their field.”

But the truth is, we’re all developing our skills every day by showing up to work and doing the job. The only difference between your staff and Usain Bolt is they’re missing their Glen Mills.

Working with a coach consistently can help turn the skills and knowledge gained naturally through day-to-day working into supercharged development.

And for the busiest of your staff, who are looking for that daily guidance, that consistency can be short, daily micro-bursts of coaching through Carpe Diem Coaching^TM.

Ever heard that it takes 21 days to build a habit and 90 days to build a lifestyle? By working with a coach, one-on-one each day supported through the Carpe Diem Coaching ^TM app, you can give your team the opportunity to help shape how they work and how they develop going forward.

Carpe Diem Coaching™ takes a unique approach, offering brief, seven-minute sessions every working day for four weeks. This format creates a daily touchpoint for growth, ensuring that your team consistently stays on track without interrupting their day for large chunks of time.

Seven minutes might seem brief, but over the course of four weeks, those small daily sessions add up encouraging your team to challenge themselves every day, apply new strategies and reflect in preparation for their next session.
