Growing Asian Woman Leadership…

 

Virtual Group Coaching Programme….

We are offering you the opportunity to join our unique and powerful virtual group coaching programme that will give you the knowledge and tools to be able to create meaningful results in your personal and professional life.

Coaching has proved to be a very powerful means of guiding and supporting people to solve difficult problems and achieve complex and stretching goals. It's one of the most powerful ways for people to learn how to be more effective in achieving personal and professional success -- and to be able to learn a great deal from their own experiences. That's why coaching has become almost a standard activity in leadership development.

Usually it’s carried out in a one-to-one format. However, that format can be quite expensive. In peer coaching groups, people not only get coached - they build a network to share and support each other’s on-going development.

Is this programme for me? Yes, if you…

• Ever feel you know you could achieve more but feel frustrated because for some reason you’re not getting the results you want
• Feel there are certain obstacles that hold you back from getting the most from your personal and professional life but don’t know how to manage them
• Struggle to manage certain challenging relationships
• Struggle to be true to who your really are and be respected by others for your individuality
• Lack clarity about your future or are unsure of yourself
• Sometimes feel emotionally overwhelmed and wish you could manage your emotions better
• Struggle to conform to some cultural expectations feeling confused and frustrated
• Want to be even more successful as a manager or leader
• Want to be an even greater role model for your kids

What will you get out of it?

Access to a group of like-minded individuals

One of the ways we learn is through sharing stories and by listening to how other people in similar situations have succeeded. Working with a small group you get to benefit from the combined wisdom of professionals like yourself. The group is required to agree to confidentiality so it is a safe place to explore your challenges and get wisdom and experience from others that have been had similar challenges and resolved them successfully. Research shows that the combined wisdom of groups can be very powerful.

Valuable and effective new ways of thinking

What is it that makes some people more successful and happier than other people? Mostly, it is the way they think. Your coach will challenge the way you are thinking when she can see it is not supporting you and offer new perspectives. Often when we feel stuck in a situation, the way out is to think about it differently. Your coach will teach you how to ‘think’ about things more constructively so you can get the results you desire. She will also show you how to become aware of and manage negative thinking patterns.

Tools and Resources

We will be teaching you how to use your brain more effectively. There are certain scientific laws that on implementation can help you to achieve outstanding results. We will give you the knowledge and structure and will teach you how to implement these powerful new concepts. You will get information on additional learning material including books and assessments.

Raised Self Awareness

The more we learn about ourselves, the more we can make informed choices that will support us in making empowered decisions. The coach will engage in a transformational conversation that shifts the way participants think, feel and act whilst challenging, supporting and facilitating everyone’s progress. You will leave the programme with a deepened knowledge of who you are and what drives your behaviour.

More control

When we are in an unproductive state, it can be such a waste of time, energy and money. We know we are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, down, annoyed, etc. but we just don’t know how to get out of it.

Our natural and optimal state for high performance is happy, confident and productive – this is where we operate at our best and there are certain rules and strategies we can learn that will manage the negative and leverage the positive so that you can get the best from yourself and others.

Would you like to learn .... ?

• how to gain more control so you don’t feel everything and everyone else is running your life, but in fact, you are the one in charge.

• how to manage your energy so that you don’t waste days being ineffective and energy drained but are fired up and motivated.

• how to manage challenging relationships so that you aren’t left feeling frustrated but feel more in control of your emotions

• how to gain respect from others so that you are recognised for your own individuality.

What makes this Group Coaching Programme so good?

• Participants in similar situations would have worked through certain challenges and can rapidly share their experiences, resources and ideas.
• Years of combined wisdom from the participants accelerate the transfer of knowledge enabling individuals to leverage previous knowledge and expertise.
• The group develops its own network and builds relationships and bonds that will positively support them, especially important in challenging times, relieving the pressure on leaders.
• You have no additional expenses and you dial in from the comfort of your home, office or wherever you are so you incur no travelling expenses.
• Individuals experience accountability, motivation, engagement and results. As a result, each participant reaches their goals faster. Jim Vidakovich, top business consultant and author states that people retain:

• 20% of what they hear;
• 30% of what they see;
• 50% of what they hear and see;
• 70% of what they see, hear and say (discussing and explaining to others)
• 90% of what they see, hear, say and DO!

• In the group coaching you will have agreed some actions that you are expected to do before the next session.

How does it work?

• Groups are limited to maximum of 10 people so that each person has enough individual attention from the coach
• Doesn’t matter where you are based, you can call in from anywhere even abroad.
• Calls are designed around your hectic work schedule so are held either at lunchtimes or early evening.
• Calls are one hour long at the same time every 2 weeks. 8 sessions in total (except over Christmas when there may be a longer break).
• You will be given a local call rate (0844) telephone number to dial into.(4.3p per minute from BT landlines. Other networks may vary)
• If you miss a call one week, you can catch up by listening to the recording.
• Coach uses motivational, consultative and educational models designed to enhance effectiveness.
• The format consists of carefully designed exercises that guide members to raise their own self-awareness and develop committed action steps.
• The material is relevant to everyone who feels they would benefit from this type of programme so please feel free to apply even if you are not an Asian woman professional.

What some other Asian women professionals have said

“Sukhy has many great qualities: patience, strength and great empathy. I found myself opening up to Sukhy very easily and that’s usually a very hard thing for me to normally do!
My self-confidence and self-belief in my abilities has grown enormously and I now find myself expressing my ideas and promoting my “brand” to those within my organisation,
Sukhy has supported me in rediscovering my core values and my passion to make a difference.
I now know that I have the determination to achieve what I want and can tap into the resources around me to accomplish this ambition.”SS (Human Resources) London

On the outside I was a 'successful' woman, good job, nice house wonderful children. On the inside however I was in constant turmoil.
Since I have worked with Sukhy, I have more insight and learnt tools/methods to bring about change in my negative thoughts, I have figured out what I want for the first time in my life, and how I am going to get there.
Wish I had met you sooner Sukhy thank you.BRS (Head of Healthcare Unit) Ealing
