Conduit Career coaching is designed to help you gather focus on a more rewarding future. It's simple – career coaching helps to identify career values and goals and helps you outline a clear path toward achieving them.

In any career trajectory, there is always room for growth. Sometimes career changes need to be drastic, and at other times the situation dictates a more subtle path. Even the most highly skilled professional athlete utilises coaching that is designed to refine their individual skills and technique even further. Your life, and your career, is no different.

Obviously, successful career coaching requires hard work. The real challenge in getting to the next level of your career, life, or education is understanding your strengths and then maximising them to help you achieve success, happiness and balance. Career and life coaching is not therapy – these coaching sessions are designed to be practical, forward thinking, and aimed at helping you make decisions that lead to lasting satisfaction and success.

think in new ways, and provide you with a different perspective.
get you out of a rut – wishing for something better.

Whilst NLP encompasses a broad discipline of knowledge, the term essentially refers to how our mind and body communicate with each other (the ‘neuro’ part of the title), and how we use both verbal and non-verbal communication (‘linguistic’). The ‘programming’ part of the title describes how people conduct activities either automatically or mindfully, and the discipline aims to improve our understanding and performance across every aspect of our lives.

Most organisation leaders want to make your team more effective, increase communication between members of staff and departments,remove silo's from the organisation, “get through” to staff and customers more powerfully, have your ability to make sales, negotiate and persuade boosted, make better presentations, motivate and share vision while overcoming objections and obstacles. If you can identify with these goals, then it's time you considered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to enhance your business.

Many leading businesses are already using NLP to do exactly these things and much more besides, including:
* British Gas
* BT
* Virgin
* Bupa
* Ladbrokes

The diversity of those businesses incorporating NLP into everyday practice is testament that the techniques and approach inherent to NLP can be used by those in any industry:
* small businesses
* multinational organisations
* private sector
* public sector
* self employed individuals

A Conduit Consulting NLP is able to study what an individual is doing at both the conscious and the unconscious levels, and then to either:
* replace unhelpful behaviours with another, or
* "install" useful behaviours into others and themselves.


Here at Conduit Consulting we are currently delivering NLP to multiple organisations within the U.K.
Inter-staff Communication - NLP approaches communication on many levels. Employers worldwide already see the benefit of developing interpersonal skills with emotional intelligence training including principles that recognise and use powerful language patterns to empower. It also includes training to make the most of the non-verbal sides of communication – how to fine-tune your senses and be more sensitive to others in order to achieve successful outcomes.

Leadership - Very often people are unaware of the assumptions they make in the language they use and are thus unaware of how those assumptions make other people feel. Shifting the way you communicate can make people feel more at ease, happier and more motivated. All of these benefits feed into the running of the company, making people feel more valued and committed to their workplace and their colleagues.
Leadership is also enhanced by enabling you to properly work out and communicate your vision for the business and its staff. This positively affects morale and productivity.

Presentations - NLP can be used to deliver internal training and presentations. one aspect of NLP teaches you how to reduce stress levels when speaking in public. Fear of public speaking is the world's most common phobia, and people with massive talents and much to give often find public speaking to be a stumbling block. Specific use of body language and of spoken language combine to make a far more powerful effect on the audience, sweeping away the “death by powerpoint” experience that is far too prevalent in the boardroom and making real impact.

Personal Effectiveness Improvement - NLP can change long term behavioural patterns - in the workplace, colleagues understand each other better and are more equipped to respond adequately to each others’ and customers’ needs and desires. Home relationships retrieve a sense of meaningful dialogue and a new kind of perception. Obviously, well functioning relationships are vital to the success of any business or personal life.

Sales & Negotiation - Positive negotiations begin with recognising how they are structured. The “inocculation” of clients against doubt, the reframing of objections, sharing of a vision, the setting out of a positive course of action and enthusing people to follow that course are all included in the techniques taught in NLP training.

Confidence and presence - Utilising all or a combination of NLP techniques will lead to greater confidence and presence, maximising you ability to communicate more concisely, identify and be clear about what really matters to you and create compelling goals.
* Master your emotions - Calmly collate relevant information under pressure. * Remain calm, focused and thorough at all times * Instant confidence and motivation - Maximise your presence in business situations. Remain self assured during critical negotiations * Use language with greater precision - Clearly articulate your views and ideas with pinpoint focus. Create compelling and persuasive arguments. * Change unwanted behaviour in yourself and others - Manage teams more effectively. Motivate and inspire staff everyday.

Where can you turn? Who will really listen to you? Who will help you move forward?

Occasionally there are times when crisis coaching is exactly the kind of intervention we require. This coaching can be with the individual, the team and/or anyone directly or indirectly affected by the circumstances of the individual.

In business, it can be difficult to recognise or acknowledge that an individual requires support. The can be compounded by the reticence of the individual to acknowledge that they require support. We are currently working within corporate organisations and SME's with individuals who have been struggling with their team, and those leaders or followers whom have become paralysed, overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. We also deliver "Imposter Syndrome" coaching to prevent such crisis.

In a personal situation there are many life changing situations that can suddenly bring a crisis into our lives. How we are supported and encouraged during these crisis can make an enormous difference to the speed of our recovery.

Conduit Consulting Crisis Coaching empowers individuals to regain control, by looking at:
* What has happened?
* What needs to happen?
* Where is the individual now?

And then deliver:
* Create an empowering plan of action
* Facilitate change and adopt new behaviors
* Cope with daily demands and pressures
* Align your personal and professional values and beliefs
* Achieve your career goals
* Improve your interactions and communication
* Attain satisfaction and better outcomes in work and life

Despite continuing tough economic conditions, business startups are continuing to rise in numbers, proving that the UK has a large section of society brimming with entrepreneurial drive. Starting a business can seem like a proverbial minefield, from raising finance to forecasting turnover, credit control to cash flow, marketing to recruiting and leading and managing your workforce, whatever stage you are at in developing you startup, Conduit Consulting's StartUp mentoring and support can help develop and strengthen both your own entrepreneurial skills and your business knowledge and can be invaluable in getting a new business off the ground, by developing a clear roadmap and helping you along the pathway to success.

Conduit Consulting offer a flexible, one to one session based programme of business support, coaching and training available throughout the UK, supporting those starting up in business on an individual basis.

The First Time startup approaches from a different perspective, usually finding it difficult to prioritise realistically and going off on tangents much of the time to hide themselves away from the tasks and subjects which they have little or no knowledge of - and do not know who to ask!

This is where a StartUp Mentor from Conduit Consulting comes in; a fellow entrepreneur with a fresh pair of eyes, someone that will advise you on the tactical and strategic parts of running your start-up.

We can Help you with..
* Exploring your business idea, considering potential opportunities and mitigating risks
* One to one business advice, helping you to develop your idea into a tangible business
* Specialist training and coaching workshops
* Business plan preparation, including marketing, finance and people planning
* Help to access grants, funding and finance
* Social Enterprise advice
* Ongoing business development support

Conduit Consulting will drill down into and review your business idea, helping you create a fluid plan for delivery and success

The primary role of the Conduit Consulting Mentor at the commencement of the relationship is to drill down into your business idea, assisting you in taking a step back and take a "helicopter" view of your business, taking into account your strengths and weaknesses. In doing so, it is often found that many existing opportunities are being overlooked and threats are not being addressed to ensure the success of the business idea. Once this has been completed, we will have an idea of where you are currently at and then work together in discovering exactly where you want to be. Planning is key to any business and having reviewed your business, finance marketing and people plans, we will revisit your plans and develop a dynamic, all encompassing plan which becomes your roadmap to address your key growth areas which will help your business to launch, survive and thrive.

We offer customised career services for any individua, including executives, professionals, managers and all workers and Corporate organisations, SME's and Charitable entities.

Our innovative yet tangible approach to career transition coaching is very different from many other providers in Europe. We employ a fully customised “high touch” career transition coaching model.

The emphasis in our approach is on spending ‘face to face’ time with the client to get to know the individual, their motivations, assets and interests. Once we have explored these issues with our client we then help them develop a unique value proposition that can be taken to market once the appropriate skills have been developed. We also offer the possibility of making introductions to “companies of fit” where we believe we can add value.

Our career transition coaching approach has four key stages;
Stage 1 – Insights, Clarity and Direction

Typically this stage involves up to 4 hours of “face to face” interviews and the assessment of 7 core components using our proprietary and other psychometric tools;

1. Integral Assessment – to get a balanced view of what is important to the job seeker via our proprietary Integral Survey

2. Character Strengths – ascertained using psychometric tools

3. Motivational Values – ascertained using psychometric tools

4. Conflict Style – ascertained using psychometric tools

5. Work History and Work Style Interviews – work history achievements, work style interview

6. Requisite Cognitive Power – capacity to handle work complexity at different levels

7. Career Motivation and Interests – helps identify possible markets, sectors and roles of interest

Once we have assessed and evaluated these 7 components we help clients develop a Unique Employment Value Proposition.
This Unique Employment Value Proposition forms a foundation for following Stages 2 & 3.

Stage 2 – Market Alignment of Capabilities

This stage involves developing market centric written materials. This includes a professional profile in the form of covering letters, CV/Resume that provides clarity and purpose to the market, while at the same time alignment with the career area/s of interest.
The stage also involves advanced behavioural interview skills training to ensure key messages are articulated clearly and effectively at each interview. Advanced interview training involves developing a customized strategy to “sell oneself” and developing aligned verbal and non-verbal messages that are rehearsed and effective.

Stage 3 – Networking + Market Deployment
Because the vast majority of jobs are not found in newspapers or on-line this stage involves learning how to tap into networks where the majority of the opportunities lie. These networking activities provide an important part of every serious industry professional’s career platform.

At the conclusion of this stage, together we will develop an action plan. This action plan will include a full set of KPIs and forms a behavioural contract between us.

Stage 4 – Introduction to Organisations of Fit
Based on our knowledge of each candidate’s aspirations, capabilities and personal circumstances and our knowledge of the market, we are able to make personal introductions to firms that will be a strong fit with each candidate.

While we cannot guarantee employment we can ensure that we introduce candidates to key individuals at ‘firms of fit’ that will enhance their personal network and employment prospects.
