Training should include the basics don't you think?
Linda McCarthy
Highly skilled administrator who excels in leading teams to success. My coaching and mentoring abilities have had a profound impact on those I have worked with, guiding them towards achieving their goals.
I have been very fortunate to work with a few people now from large multi nationals to smaller family run businesses and one thing keeps jumping out at me.
Companies are great for training their staff on all the tech knowledge they will need to fulfil their roles, on how to manage customers, on how to sell their product, I could go on and on but you get the idea. What I've noticed though is that companies, no matter their size, don't train their staff on the basics. Diary management, time management, stress management, scheduling, administrative organisation etc. etc. these are all things that don't come naturally to people.
Imagine how awesome it would be if companies took the approach of hiring a coach to train the staff in the basic fundamental skills that I mentioned above. A one day course to teach everyone the basic structure they will need to manage their roles which can only end up with a more positive workforce, a better work/life balance which would inevitably lead to better mental health for all. It would save so much time and energy and I have no doubt would increase productivity tenfold.
Some of my clients have gone back and mentioned this to their companies so maybe the conversation is turning who knows. But it will take a lot more of these conversations to get some companies to realise the benefits of hiring a coaching person/company. So lets start talking.................
