“The demand for social care is growing. Every day that goes by our population is getting older, and more people are needing support. More children with complex and multiple disabilities are surviving into adulthood, and the number of people with mental health problems is increasing. We need new and better ways of providing support. Ways that reflect the world we live in today, not ones that are rooted in the past”

John Reid, Secretary of State for Health (March 2005) - Government white paper “Independence, well - being and choice”

Blue Biz is uniquely positioned to help organisations within the care profession maximise their organisational potential.

Our expertise has been developed over 25 years during which time Jonathan Nicholls, our head coach, and a team of experienced associates have worked on a range of leadership and organisational development projects with a number of large public and private sector organisations.

More than anything coaching is a relationship between the coach and the client. The more respect, collaboration, trust and openness, the more successful the relationship.

Our focus and aim through coaching is to improve, using evidence based techniques, the performance of the leaders we work with. Our coaching approach is cognitive and goal oriented. We actively engage in measuring the outcomes of the coaching relationship and find that our clients benefit from an understanding of the return they get from their coaching investment.

The coaching process

The relationship starts with a 2 hour "alignment" meeting where the coach and client explore issues that help to critically identify goals and aspirations.
The length and frequency of the subsequent "coaching" sessions will be tailored to the specific client requirements, but typically these will consist of one hour meetings every one or two weeks.
