Pairs Coaching

Pairs Coaching is a new, dynamic and fast way of building a better working relationship between two people. One coach works with two individuals in the same session to boost communication, improve performance and create ownership of shared goals. Pairs Coaching is highly cost-effective: it is half the price of coaching two people separately, and potentially more than twice as efficient.

The specially trained Pairs Coach takes a neutral stance in order to create a relationship with their clients’ relationship, ensuring that neither party feels sidelined or overlooked. Working with the PAIRS model, the coach ensures that both individuals are comfortable with the process; the clients can clarify individual and mutual goals and share responsibility for achieving these; they can re-evaluate new ideas and goals in the light of the sessions; they both know exactly what actions need to be taken and are equally committed to going forward with these next steps.

The coach will do this by tuning into the relationship, listening for what is not being said as well as what is, facilitating equal amounts of effective thinking time for both individuals and offering appropriate support and challenge. The Pairs Coach will also draw on a wide range of skills and tools to enhance communication and build increasing levels of confidence in the relationship.

Typical issues:

• Meeting the need to build a new business relationship extra fast
• Resolving personality differences or conflicting goals
• Promoting mutual understanding and a shared drive for success
• Boosting relationships which have become less effective as a result of changes in the business
