Coaching for Work
Business is nothing if we can't communicate effectively and regularly.
‘Win hearts, and you have all men’s hands and purses’ – William Cecil Burleigh
It’s often said that sales are based on product, price and relationship – with further studies showing that even if the price and product are right, if the relationship is wrong, the customer is lost.
So if the biggest influencer is the relationship that the customer develops with you; isn't it essential to make sure it's a good one?
And what better principles to refer to when talking about relationships, than the Mars Venus ones?
The Mars Venus approach explains in clear terms how men can understand women and communicate effectively – and vice versa. Of course neither planet is right or wrong – in fact a great combination is best... I used to work in a very male dominated environment and I have developed more "Martian" characteristics, but I will never give up my collaborating "Venusian" style. I have mixed both styles which has made me a better communicator in the workplace – and I will share these with you - and if applicable, your company – through coaching or workshops.
In the business world if you know each other's planet you are at an advantage. Without an understanding of each others planets there can be so many misinterpretations – so knowing more about Mars or Venus can make you happier and more confident at work. In our training we’ll go through plenty of helpful insights to make sure you present yourself in the most effective manner – whether this is when communicating with clients to get the best customer satisfaction, or trying to ask your boss for a payrise.
It's not about changing you; just to better your understanding of how men and women behave and communicate to help enhance your or your business’ current position.
The Mars Venus techniques can also greatly help when it comes to reducing stress (to link through to the stress page in the & Home area) in the workplace – again leading to better efficiency and increased levels of workplace satisfaction. Creating a balanced lifestyle that sustains productive energy by producing plenty of the appropriate hormones is the key to reducing stress; thus making the workplace much happier, more productive and rewarding.
Unlike the more well known Mars Venus principles where the issues involve couples or family; in this context we are talking about changing the attitudes and habits of a great many people, depending on how many employees are in the work environment. Relationships are crucial in almost every area of our lives, and our working ones are no exception. If you’re keen to develop your relationships with customers, clients, and colleagues then one of the Mars Venus workshops may be right for you. My workshops will shed light on many aspects of workplace problems and offers solutions that are easy, respectful and effective – whilst being light and playful.
I do one-to-one coaching designed to assist you if you’re looking to change or develop your career.

I’m also a certified Action Learning facilitator so can offer group coaching within your organisation, using the techniques of Action Learning and working in sets of up to eight people at any one time.
