Personal Coaching Services at CAPE People Development

Thinking about the individuals in your organisation

You’re in the right place if you…

Want to support individuals to develop the skills or behaviours you need them to have. This includes you of course!

People management training

Our award-winning people management training empowers managers to lead confidently.

Why might you need this:

You’ve recruited or promoted people into manager roles, but they’ve not really been supported in how to manage others as you haven’t got the time or the experience yourself.
Managers don’t feel confident having the conversations they need to.
People might be sharing that they don’t feel supported by their manager, or worse telling you this as they leave the organisation.
You want your managers to feel valued as you know they are the key to your organisation being a great place to work.

What it is:

Our people management programmes are designed to help your managers to:

Be able to use different conversation styles with their colleagues and teams confidently.
Understand and develop their own authentic management style.
Feel enabled, empowered and equipped to lead their teams and be a brilliant people manager.
Gain work fulfilment through the value they add and the satisfaction they can gain from being a brilliant people manager.
Have consciously and proactively considered the challenges of being a people manager and have developed strategies to address them effectively.
Have self-belief in bucketloads!

How we do it:

1. Bespoke in-house programmes:

We deliver bespoke programmes in-house that are developed around your specific organisation values, standards and goals. They include workshops, online learning tools, group coaching and one-to-one coaching.
We deliver them in person or online depending on what work’s best for your organisation.
Participants’ line managers are included in the pre and post programme evaluations and supported on how to have great development conversations throughout the programme so that learning happens every day not just when they are on the course!

One-to-one development and coaching

Our one-to-one development and coaching is tailored to individual needs, helping to build confidence, close knowledge gaps, and support role transitions effectively.

Why might you need this:

There is an aspect of your role (or an individual in your organisation’s role) that could be improved, or you would like to build confidence in.
There is a gap in knowledge, skills or behaviour that you or someone in the team needs to develop.
You want to support someone moving into a new role and have impact from the start.
You are thinking about how to develop your high performers for future promotion and want to give them opportunities to stretch themselves.
You are leading / creating an organisational change and would like to implement this in the most effective way.
You may want to work on your organisation’s strategy and would benefit from some support, a sounding board or an external perspective to help with this.

What it is:

One-to-one development is always tailored to the individual, their specific need and what outcomes you would like to achieve.
This could be training or it could be coaching, or it could be a combination of the two.
Training is used when there is a gap in knowledge or skills that an individual wants to learn.
Coaching provides a space for people to think through challenges and opportunities and apply the knowledge and skills they already have to the situation they are dealing with.
Coaching is also used when there is a behaviour that needs to be developed.
Learn more about coaching here.

How we do it:

One-to-one development can be delivered online or in person.
We work with you to explore exactly what the need is by thinking about what you’d like to be different at the end of any development, in other words how you will know our support has been successful.
If appropriate we will include the individuals’ line manager as part of this.

Human (or soft) skills training

Why might you need this:

At a group or team level you have identified an aspect of your roles that could be improved, or you would like to build confidence in.
There is a gap in knowledge, skills or behaviour that your team needs to develop.
You would like to offer personal development to support your teams’ growth, impact or wellbeing.

What it is:

Change and resilience

Our change and resilience training equips leaders with the skills and confidence to manage and lead through periods of disruption, emphasising the crucial role of effective leadership in navigating change successfully.

Why might you need this:

You are about to embark on a period of change / a change initiative or something that is going to cause disruption and uncertainty to the way your team(s) work.
You are in the middle of change or there has been a number of changes recently and there is ‘change fatigue’ (when we hear people say things like “not again” or “can we just keep things as they are for a while”).
