Business Coaching

What does a lack of focus, direction and planning for your career and/or business, cost you?

Coaching = Clarity. Self-reliance. Faster leadership tracks, shorter learning curves, and greater productivity.

Personal Business Coaching and Group Workshops are taking the benefits of coaching beyond the executive boardroom, and extending them to managers in every branch of an organization for powerful, lasting results.

People emerge from one-on-one coaching sessions more focused, more motivated, more efficient, and more productive. Meanwhile, companies can improve retention, align personal goals with organizational objectives, and inspire everyone to use their unique strengths to the utmost.

Business coaching assists executives to balance their professional and personal life, manage their time, develop new passion for their career AND their personal life, increase confidence both professionally and personally and move forward, stepping out of their comfort zone.

Executives use coaching as an aid to develop to produce better results. Sharpening communication skills, time management, attitude and vision leads to growth both in career and personal life.

“After a session with Shannah I feel confident and positive about any issues that may be causing me to be negative in my work environment. The session has the impact of staying with me right through to our next session in a positive way.”
Norris, Manager, Burwood Road Dental Laboratory

“As you are well aware, developing your staff is a key to the future of any business, and making staff members aware of their individual potential is an important element that must be addressed before most staff will willingly and enthusiastically embrace training or other developmental activities.
From a management perspective it provided a good insight into the way in which our people approach difficult challenges (where they actually perceive the challenge to be difficult )and showed that those staff with a can do attitude, plenty of self-belief and self-confidence only need to be pointed in the right direction, given the necessary training and support, and provided with the correct incentives, to become successful”
Daniel Watson B.Bus.(B.A.), AIMM. Business Development Manager L.J.Hooker

“Your presentation at our management training was simply fantastic! The participants received the content of our course most favourable. Your discussion however, lifted the entire program to a greater height than I had ever expected. In particular, the chopping of the timber exercise, which really challenged the mindset of our managers who I am sure, went away with a bigger view of what is really possible in life. One of my managers, who has been studying martial arts for 7 years commented that he had never thought that he would be able to chop timber with his bare hands. you had him doing this in the context of a 2 hour presentation - great stuff! We loved it! Just goes to show what can be achieved if you take a risk and have the right attitude! Thank you so much for being a vital part of our training. Pearl looks forward to an ongoing relationship with Shannah Kennedy.”
Wes Truscott, Manager - Human Resources, Pearl Healthcare Limited
