4 SPECIALTY AREAS of COACHING

 

1. Leadership: The Art of Non-Verbal Aikido

How do great leaders generate the aura and respect that inspires others to follow? Their charismatic energy originates in the non-verbal communication style they have perfected. By practising simple skills, you can learn how to do this and greatly enhance your effectiveness. 

 

Leaders can ‘up their charisma quotient’ by building on their own natural personality traits and learning how to deal with different types of people. Technical brilliance alone may not be enough. But when you combine high expertise with a compelling persona, the most positive type of charismatic leadership results.

 

Since 95% of the political interactions between people can be read in subtle body language, Arielle uses video feedback for maximum effectiveness and speed. Coaching sessions aim to build on strengths: a client's current approach, attitude and behaviours. Short videos doing typical role plays (or during real meetings) help to identify where improvements can be made. Then, after viewing the videos and learning the secrets of leadership physiology, specific and appropriate non-verbal adjustments are suggested and put into practice.

 

Follow up videos later verify the powerful change these differences made. This work transcends cultural differences and produces profound improvements in communication when working internationally. Learning how to accurately read the non-verbal behaviours, means fewer mistakes.

 

Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question.                                                      Albert Camus

 

Some leaders need to gain more credibility, authenticity, and gravitas to be more succinct and improve their style. Others may need more approachability, better rapport and people skills. Charismatic leaders know how to use either approach at the right time and place, depending on the people involved. Master this ability for the quickest route to maximum effectiveness and raised performance and productivity.

 

Advantages to be gained: 

• manage cultural differences
• communicate more effectively
• get your ideas heard
• improve relationships
• get buy-in and agreement
• motivate your team
• influence decisions
• predict responses
• build trust & loyalty
• advance career potential

2. Raising Your EQ Level

Your Emotional Intelligence is far more important for success than having a high IQ. If you have received feedback that your ability to interact with other people could be improved, or you have difficulty managing your own state, or you just notice your relationships are suffering, it could be very useful to have your EQ assessed professionally. Arielle is fully certified to provide you with a sophisticated on-line test facility that you can fill out in the privacy of your own home. Then your results can provide a starting point for focused coaching sessions on understanding and developing strategies for improving your EQ.

 

 

3. Identify Your USP: Unique Personal Brand

This specialized work uses Jungian Archetypes to assess what qualities resonate with your true inner nature. By aligning your particular archetype with your values, decisions and how you portray yourself (eg in advertising) you can become more congruent and effective in everything you do. People will feel attracted to the real you. Work will seem more fulfilling and on track with your life. Using the on-line assessment tool is the starting point for simple but profound discussions and deeper understanding about yourself and your journey through life. Please phone for more information.

 

 

4. Cultural Transformation

When changes need to be made over the whole organization, one of the most valuable tools ever created is the CTT [Culture transformation tool]. This on-line assessment actually measures what people in the organization consider important. Using the simple charts that reveal the values of individuals and groups, it becomes easy to spot where the blinds spots are and where there is a lack of balance in the organizational thinking and behaviour. When there is a need for a coordinated approach over the whole business, Arielle works in association with the MROI Team. Please phone for more information.

What is NLP?

 

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a form of applied psychology that specializes in dealing directly with solving people's problems: whether they are mental, emotional or physical, or a combination. Everything a person says, and how it is said is important. The words and phrases a person uses to describe themselves reveal their thought structure, beliefs and values. Then the NLP detective work begins: a cooperative process of exploration to discover the cause and find the best solution.
