COACTING Styles
You probably spend more time at work than with your family or friends, so feeling good about work is important both to your productivity and to your well-being. Investing in your working relationships can make all the difference. We’ve seen how relationships at work can, and do, evolve by putting COACTING Styles into practice.
Relationships at work differ from all other relationships in life because
- You don’t pick the people you work with
- You’re judged on your performance and your livelihood may depend on this
- You sometimes have to do things you don’t want to do as part of your job
- You have to deal with people in authority
These four factors change how you relate to people at work, particularly when the pressure is on. You don’t usually get taught how to navigate your way through the dynamics of relationships at work, you’re expected to just know how to get along and perform well together. The COACTING Styles resources give you easy ways in to raise awareness of the impact people have on one another, how you can work more effectively together and adapt to the needs of the situations you face together.

The Buzz Factor
High performing teams have a special energy – a buzz, a sense of being alive to possibility. It isn’t a one off. It doesn’t come and go. It’s a hallmark of achievement.
The responses to these questions, and the actions you take, will progress you towards that achievement.
