Development coaching

Performance development coaching is a one-to-one conversation between the coach and coachee.

The conversation is driven by the coachee. The coach is there to listen, support and challenge.

Coaching is available for anyone working for North Lincolnshire Council to access as a way of maximising their own performance. Using non directive questions supports the coachee to find their own solutions.

There are too many potential subjects and benefits to performance coaching. However some examples are listed below:

  • Understand personal performance and development
  • Meeting the challenges of organisational change
  • Building personal impact and confidence
  • Explore strengths and weaknesses
  • Increase resilience
  • Challenging self-limiting beliefs
  • Meet organisational needs

There does not need to be a problem with your performance, or a workplace issue to benefit from performance development coaching.

For further information on performance coaching please contact the Workforce Development Team on learning.solutions@northlincs.gov.uk or call 01724 297000.

Alternatively contact individual performance coaches directly from the contact details within the Performance Development Coaching booklet [PDF, 854Kb].

Resource library

The resource library is available for staff to access the books that are relevant to their learning and to support their role with the council.

To order a book from the library please contact Karen Robson on 01724 297000 or Kiara Bilby on 01724 297000.
