Coaching
Why should I hire a coach?
Because that's what successful people do!
It is no coincidence that professional athletes and executives invest in hiring performance coaches. They know that to get the edge on their competition they need to master the mental race, not just the physical one.
Mastery of ones' mental processes provides the greatest opportunity for mastering your life and moving you forward on your terms. Changing your current results is not always about getting new information, having more training, acquiring new things; it is often more about exploring new ways of thinking about things that really makes the difference.
At Motivation Matters we specialise in working with people's unconscious motivations. We look beneath the behaviour to uncover the intrinsic motivations at play. It's not until we become aware of how we are creating the results around us that we become truly empowered to create sustainable and compelling change.
So let the experts guide you to a new perspective through our range of Coaching Programs:

Leadership Coaching
There are reportedly three main reasons for leadership derailment:
-
Failure to build partnerships and team work, with the executive team and subordinates;
-
Confusion about roles and expectations; and
-
Lack of political savvy or insight. (Zuess and Skiffington, 2003)
All of these areas can be addressed with self-insight and the ability to connect meaningfully with others.
Motivation Matters employs a highly sophisticated process of self-assessment and gap analysis to uncover the unconscious work attitudes and motivations that drive behaviour and ultimately impact the clients' results.
Benefits of Coaching
Leadership coaching must by its very nature, recognise the high level of skills and knowledge possessed by the coachee, which is why at Beyond Coaching our emphasis is less on what you know and what to do, and more on facilitating:
-
Expanded thinking through dialogue with an independent and curious outsider
-
Self-awareness, including uncovering blind spots
-
Understanding of own emotions and human behavioural skills
-
Personal accountability for development
-
Just in time learning
-
Continuous one-on-one attention
As experts in communication we believe the leaders' ability to motivate, engage, and influence others with integrity and authenticity is directly linked to their willingness to understand what drives them personally and how this impacts the way they connect with and lead others around them.
With self awareness the leader gets access to a critical component of leadership, the ability to step back from subjective ‘reality' and develop an objective view, allowing them to challenge assumptions, challenge the status quo and explore new ways of thinking and stretching beyond what is known.
Effective leadership coaching is not about finding someone who knows what you know, rather it's about working with a trusted independent advisor who can challenge you to discover and embrace that which you don't know, you don't know!

Personal Coaching
Coaching is a unique service that recognises that you are the expert in your life.
It is a facilitated journey which allows you to tap into the inner resources needed to unlock your full potential and relies on powerful questioning techniques and proven transformational change strategies.
Changing your current results is not always about getting new information, having more training, acquiring new things; it is often more about exploring new ways of thinking about things that really makes the difference.
A new perspective can have the power to create instantaneous change. For example, if I asked you to raise 1 million dollars in a month, you'd probably say it was impossible. But if I offered you 10 million dollars to do it, you may just find a way!

"Anneli, how to thank you for all you have made possible. The changes in my life, both professionally and personally since experiencing coaching with you have been outstanding. It is a mystery to me how with such gentleness and support you instigate such dramatic shifts in my thoughts, actions and beliefs. Your ability to guide me to finding more and more light bulbs within myself is incredible. My relationships at home and at work but most importantly with myself, have been taken to a new sphere, bringing so many opportunities for wonderful, inspiring, successful experiences to take place. I know now that the more I give my self, the more I have to give. Thank you from every part of me, and from all those around me who also reap the rewards of your incredible coaching work."
R. Ramsay - Director, Clear Light International
"Signing up to the Coaching Program at Beyond Coaching (now Motivation Matters) has provided innumerable benefits to me.
This month I not only exceeded my targets in the quietest period of the year, but my results were almost 200% more than the same time last year.
I recommend coaching to anyone who is serious about getting ahead professionally (without sacrificing their personal life). I have found coaching to be the most effective way to develop my skills as the sessions were specifically tailored to what I personally needed."

Want to know the hidden keys to career advancement?
The Performance Profiling session is an exploration of the unconscious cognitive filters, which determine your thinking styles and your behaviour in the workplace. Essentially it looks at why you do what you do and how that supports or sabotages the results you get.
The session is based on the results of the iWAM Profiling tool (Inventory of Work Attitudes and Motivations) and provides a window into your intrinsic motivations and attitudes at work.

Insight into how others might perceive you
-
Guidance on how to tailor your communication for the needs of others

Understanding of how your language impacts the motivation of those around you (for better or worse)
-
Self-insight and understanding
-
A framework for further self development
What is involved?
