At Sherwood Positive we are committed to providing a quality coaching and mentoring service by creating the right environment with wellbeing at the heart of our approach.  This will enable you to flourish and develop your performance.

Coaching and mentoring are widely recognised as two of the most effective ways of developing you.

Coaching:
Is a powerful and focused approach to your personal development that can have a strong impact on both you and your organisation. Your coach can help you think through and unlock your potential and enable you to talk through

According to CIPD research it works because there are 3 main factors
that make all the difference:

Autonomy: the belief that you can control your own life

Relatedness: feeling connected with others in a positive way that encourages trust and liking   

Competence: knowing that you have, and use valuable skills, qualities and abilities.  This is based upon psychologically proven principles that the more you encourage autonomy, relatedness and competence the more confident people will be and the better work they will do. (Source - Manager as Coach: The New Way to get Results. 2012 Jenny Rogers, Karen Whittleworth, Andrew Gilbert)

Coaching conversations can contribute to helping you:
* Develop your performance and talent
* Promote wellbeing in times of stress
* Contribute to a positive focus about change

Mentoring:
Is also a powerful and focused development relationship. It is an opportunity for you to work with someone who is able to share with you the wisdom and experiences of their own learning journey whilst providing a safe environment for you to identify and discuss your own.

Personality psychometric:
