Invigorate Your Change and Innovate with Success

Coaching is about change and transformation and the ability to grow, to alter learnt behaviours and to generate new and successful action.

Coaching is about looking into the future with a vision and building on potential. With coaching, you work out what you want and then systematically keep achieving that through creating new goals. Coaching embraces change and allows individuals to grow through it and facilitates a shift in attitude and perspective and enhances emotional intelligence

Quantum Point Coaching and Consulting Philosophy

When you participate in an executive, leadership or a business coaching program with Quantum Point, you set the primary agenda. Whether it be creating more life balance, developing strong leadership skills, managing your team more effectively or the challenges to develop effective reporting teams, we will work through it with you.
Balance means expressing yourself creatively.

“I believe that within any career, profession or enterprise, the goal of an executive coach is always to improve productivity by increasing the individual’s capability of managing their own performance. The future is all about choice. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible and reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want – and all that is left is just, compromise”.

“When I reflect on my professional life, there has been some really challenging situations. But I’m glad that I had the courage to take the risks because it led me to valuable experiences and wonderful people. Taking risks, welcoming change and learning new things on a daily basis - there is great joy and a great sense of personal achievement in that”.   

Anne Asha

The program does not separate you the person from you the executive - the aim is to integrate your personal needs and the needs of the organisation so that you not only enjoy your work challenges but you begin to appreciate the balance you bring to organisation.

Managers today have more pressure than ever to get results, grow than their teams, and yet often they are promoted through specific expertise: they know how to get the job done, but they may not have the people development skills to match.

In the work place, managers that truly have effective cooperation skills produce significant and better results. People do better work for longer hours, are dedicated and contribute to the organisations in many more ways.

5 Key Skills for the Future

To have a successful career and be a significant player in the organisation and one that lets you make the most of your abilities and gives you a sense of achievement. Well, there are a few skills you will need, to make it big in the workplace of the future.
No matter what your industry or occupation, you will find that there is an increasing demand for people who are adept at some or all of the following five skills, which I believe are essential for success at work today and into the future.

1. Mastering and embracing change

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi

Change is all around us and yet learning to master change is a skill that very few people are taught. The ability to analyse the changes happening around you and adapt quickly is vital in the changes and at the new workplace. Understanding how you react and also how others react to situations can make the journey of change far less painful.

2. Thinking like an entrepreneur

Even if you have a permanent job with an organisation, you need to think of yourself as self employed. Managers are asking people to take ownership of their job and act as if it was their money they are making or spending. Becoming a person who thinks like an entrepreneur can open up a whole range of new possibilities and greatly improve your self-confidence.

3. Managing your own career

The new or changing workplace demands that you design your own career path. It may be made up of a number of different experiences that eventually bring you to a unique position or it could resemble a more traditional route. Either way, it will be your responsibility to make it happen. This means you need to carefully consider your options each time you take a step, whilst keeping your eye on new developments.

4. Promoting yourself

In the past, it was only sales representatives and marketing people who needed to know how to promote. Now it is a vital part of everyone's portfolio of skills to be able to make themselves known in a less structured and more competitive workplace.

But there is more to self-promotion than a good résumé and the right clothes. You also need to learn how to network and recognise opportunities to help others, which in the long run will help you.

5. Lifelong learning and wisdom

It has taken us a while but we have finally realised that learning does not end when we leave school. Innovations in technology and the information super highway makes it essential for us to spend more time just keeping up to date. Learning is no longer restricted to the classroom. Everyday we learn in everything we do. The key is to recognise what you learn in these situations and how to apply it to other areas of your life.

How would you rate yourself in each of these skill areas? If the answer is less than excellent, you have some work to do. So where do you start? What order of priority should be placed on these skills?

Whilst they are all important, I think you should tackle them in the order they are listed and here is why. To start with, mastering change will help you with all the other skills because they all require an ability to change. Next, the idea of thinking like an entrepreneur will impact on your job searching strategies, which in turn affects how you manage your career, and so on.

Being successful in the new style work environment is easy and enjoyable. . . when you have the right skills.

Think of the world-class athlete !

Athletes have achieved world record performances by using a coach to:

  • provide analysis and feedback on performance 
  • set goals and targets
  • develop and encourage the individuals best
  • keep them forward focused and aware of new opportunities for growth
  • work through obstacles to change, self-sabotage or self limiting beliefs
  • maintain a balance between sporting and personal life

The Five Quantum "I's"

One of our core approaches is what Quantum Point calls "The Five Quantum I's" -

Identify, Invigorate, Innovate, Integrate and Implement. 

It's simple, effective and a great place to start.

  • Identify your needs and wants
  • Invigorate to consider new approaches and other ways that could be useful for you and your organisation
  • Innovate by developing creative solutions with your team
  • Integrate your goals within your teams
  • Implement an agreed course of actions and monitor progress to a successful outcome

The process of business progression is more exacting today than ever before. You must have an edge over the competition, whether you are endeavouring to grow your business further, considering a career change, developing your team or needing some professional development of your own. It's important to remember that you are in fact a business entity in your own right - an entity to be marketed and sold.
Strengthen your focus, acquire a clearer view of where you want to be in the future and put you in the position you deserve.

Emotional Intelligence

Our EQi, or Emotional Intelligence, is the capacity for effectively recognising and managing our own emotions and those of others. Emotions have the potential to get in the way of our most important business and personal relationships.
According to John Kotter of Harvard Business School, 'because of the furious pace of change in business today, difficult to manage relationships sabotage more business than anything else - it is not a question of strategy that gets us into trouble, it is a questions of emotions'.

How Important is Emotional Intelligence to Performance and Leadership?

Across various job levels, research tracking over 160 high performing individuals in a variety of industries and job levels revealed that emotional intelligence was two times as important in contributing to excellence than intellect and expertise alone.

Coaching utilising EQi with the “Quantum Key Tools”

The "Quantum  Key Tools" are extremely varied within the coaching model and draws on many years of highly successful profile and communication strategies, and incorporates Meta Programs, DISC Analysis, Bar-On EQi, Organic Mind Mapping, 360 degress Feedback,  Myers Briggs Type Indicator,   and NLP (neuro linguistic programming).
