As an L&D intervention, coaching lends itself to maximising the ideas, thoughts and talent that already exist within the organisation – whether that be emerging leaders in growing businesses or experienced executives navigating complex organisational challenges. You can unlock your team’s full potential with our coaching services
Coaching in a workplace context is built on a trusting relationship between the coach and coachee to allow for exploration of solutions, thoughts and ideas – using questioning techniques our coach will help to explore the blockers and enablers to taking the next steps towards business success.
Coaching is a powerful way to develop people, strengthen teams, and unlock potential within your business. Whether it’s 1:1 coaching for leaders or team members, our approach helps individuals gain clarity, overcome challenges, and build confidence.
Through a supportive and trusted coaching relationship, we explore barriers and opportunities, helping individuals take meaningful steps forward. By maximising existing skills and talent, coaching fosters growth, resilience, and stronger team dynamics – ultimately driving business success.
Historically, executive coaching has been perceived as something only accessible to senior leaders or those identified as future talent in their organisation. Whilst this is still relevant, we recognise that the benefits of coaching services for individuals and organisations extends far beyond this group and here are just a few examples of solutions which have been beneficial as part of both operational and broader strategic plans:
We recognise that every business and every individual is unique and we will work with you to develop a bespoke coaching programme that supports your business ambitions.
Coaching can support at every stage of your business journey, whether addressing a specific challenge or navigating change and growth. It can enhance the ROI on other development initiatives such as training or professional study, and is equally effective for both individuals and teams.
Leadership Coaching – As businesses grow, leadership teams often evolve organically, requiring time to reflect and realign. Executive coaching offers a confidential space for leaders to explore challenges, overcome barriers, and gain fresh perspectives – fostering creativity, problem-solving, and confidence in decision-making.
Team Coaching – Using psychometric tools like Insights Discovery, team coaching supports collaboration at any stage of development, whether integrating new hires, strengthening an established team, or improving communication, coaching helps harness individual strengths and create a cohesive, high-performing team.
Developing Leadership & Management Skills – many successful businesses are built on technical expertise, but growth often demands new skills like leadership, people management, and change management. Coaching helps leaders and managers create a clear development plan. Research shows that coaching can enhance ROI from training by up to 70%, ensuring new skills are applied effectively.
Improving Productivity & Performance – Coaching provides a safe environment to uncover the root causes of performance challenges, rather than just addressing surface level issues. By exploring underlying barriers, coaching helps individuals find sustainable solutions that drive long-term success both personally and for the business.
The personalised approach of coaching helps you unlock the full potential of your people and your business. With coaching, you can expect to see:
Improved leadership skills – Strong leadership drives engagement, attracts top talent, and boosts retention. Effective leaders can also increase productivity by up to 25%, creating a more motivated and efficient workforce.
Enhanced Team Collaboration – Coaching fosters better communication and collaboration within teams, leading to more informed decision-making and improved efficiency
Increased Confidence for Change – Coaching empowers individuals to take creative risks, driving innovation and positive change across the business
Engaged and Empowered Workforce – Coaching supports a culture where people feel valued and motivated, leading to greater engagement and performance
Transparent Culture – By encouraging open communication and trust, coaching helps build a culture of transparency, where ideas and feedback are freely shared
We believe a fundamental principle of coaching is creating a safe space where the coachee can open up and explore their deepest thoughts without fear of being judged – the starting point therefore is to establish a relationship of trust, something we pride ourselves on being experts in.
We also firmly believe that the coachee has the answers and our role is to use that trust with appropriate questioning techniques to help them dig deep, gain a better understanding of themselves, their drivers and build future solutions which help both individual and organisational growth.
Every business and individual is unique, which is why we believe that coaching should never be a one size fits all solution. We take the time to listen and understand the specific challenges and opportunities within your business. Based on this, we tailor a customised approach, often combining 1:1 coaching sessions to address individual needs with team coaching to enhance collaboration and performance.
Coaching sessions are coachee centric and therefore the approach and models used will be adapted throughout the coaching sessions to ensure they elicit the best results.
We start by understanding the issue or business situation that needs addressing.
We collaborate to decide whether Executive Coaching or Team Coaching is the most suitable approach.
For individual coaching, we schedule a meeting with the coachee, their manager, and the coach to establish guidelines around confidentiality and agree on the communication process going forward.
For team coaching, we agree on the overall approach and determine whether a psychometric tool, such as Insights Discovery, will be incorporated.
A coaching relationship will normally last for a minimum of 4 sessions to allow for deeper exploration of topics and help the coachee become comfortable in exploring the uncomfortable and feel empowered to identify potential solutions and plan changes for their future success.

Coaching is a developmental solution focused on helping individuals or teams achieve goals in various areas, including performance improvement, confidence, and collaboration. While a training solution focuses on the transfer of skills and knowledge, coaching is based on the premise that the coachee has the answers, and the role of the coach is to help them find the answers.
Coaching provides many benefits, particularly in today’s changing environment, where agility, engagement, and motivation are increasingly important to business success. Investing in coaching can lead to improved employee performance, better leadership, enhanced team effectiveness, and increased overall productivity, all of which have a positive impact on financial success. It supports personal and professional development, helping individuals align their goals with organisational objectives – an essential element in gaining business benefits from an engaged workforce.
Coaching is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including executives, managers, professionals, and teams. It is no longer exclusively for the most senior managers, as its benefits have been proven for anyone looking to improve their performance or abilities, overcome challenges, or achieve personal and professional goals.
We offer various coaching options, including executive coaching, leadership coaching, and team coaching. Each type is tailored to address specific needs and goals and may incorporate Insights Discovery where appropriate.
As skills shortages continue to concern business leaders, retention remains a key priority. Investing in coaching can help employees feel personally valued, thereby improving job satisfaction through a sense of personal growth and making a difference.
Yes, we pride ourselves on taking an individualised approach to addressing specific business challenges. Whether you are facing issues with team dynamics, strategic planning, or personal leadership development, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and objectives.
At the heart of a good coaching programme are trust and transparency. We begin with an initial conversation with the coachee and manager to discuss the expectations and aims of the coaching programme and to explain the coaching ethics surrounding confidentiality.
The duration of a coaching programme varies depending on individual needs and goals. We normally recommend a minimum of four coaching sessions to allow trust to grow, facilitating the exploration of deep-rooted thoughts and ideas. Depending on the goal, many programmes may end or be suspended after this time, while others will continue based on progress and evolving needs. We pride ourselves on our partnership approach and on matching our delivery to the client’s / coachee’s needs, so we will always make recommendations based on what will deliver lasting outcomes.
Coaching sessions are available both virtually and in person, depending on your preference and location. We offer flexible options to accommodate your personal needs.
The costs for coaching services vary based on factors such as the type of coaching, the duration of the engagement, and the specific needs of the client. After our initial conversation, we will draft a proposal tailored to your specific needs.
In addition to personal success, measuring the success of any development activity involves looking at improvements to the business as a whole, such as leadership effectiveness, business performance, and engagement scores.
As an individual on a coaching programme, we would ask you to rate yourself at the start and at the end of the programme, for example, if your goal was to improve confidence or increase engagement within your team. In some situations, we may carry out 360-degree feedback at various stages of the programme.
Success can be viewed through two lenses: the coachee (the person being coached) and the business leader (who seeks improved productivity and ROI). There is naturally some crossover, as indicators of effective coaching include progress toward goals, improvements in performance, positive feedback from the coachee, their reports, peers, and managers, as well as tangible outcomes such as enhanced skills or achieved objectives.
Our coaches are highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in their respective fields. They hold relevant certifications and have a proven track record of helping clients achieve their goals.
Coaching is about people, and for us, the key to coaching is that trusting relationship. We pride ourselves on having coaches who place this at the core of their practice. At Reality HR, we are passionate about our niche in the HR market for tailored partnerships, and we incorporate our core values into everything we do.
Getting started is simple. Contact us through our website or call us directly, and we can have an initial, no-obligation chat to discuss your needs and our suggested solution. We will then draft a formal proposal and agree on dates to start the programme.
