Career coaching individuals

Perdie Hatton-Brown, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, outlines the value of career coaching:

“At a crossroads in my career, James’ coaching was pivotal in helping me move forward. Schooling and family socialisation had set me off in a specific direction; but I had never really thought about what my REAL values were, and if there were alternative careers to explore.

James helped me to plan how to finance retraining, and build my network for the short, medium and long terms. It gave me optimism and confidence to move forward. It also made me realise career coaching of this kind can be life-changing.”

Delivering Employability Skills

Exemplas – Training, Consultancy and Employment Development

The Hill Tribe designed and delivered a number of Employability Skills training and coaching packages in partnership with Excemplas, on behalf of the DWP:

Sarah Shreeves, Head of training and Consultancy says:

“Examplas worked in partnership with The Hill Tribe in supporting individuals seeking career changes, new employment possibilities or becoming self-employed.

In particular, James’ input and delivery as a coach and facilitator was always well-received, His use of training techniques allowed delegates to better understand their job options. A lot of his support focused on building skills in communication and confidence as a foundation to developing a practical approach to selecting and pursuing employment possibilities.”

Coaching SME leaders

DHP Family

Hill Tribe worked closely with the CEO and leadership team with one of the UK’s leading concert and music promoters, delivering coaching to support business development.

George Akins, CEO of DHP Family says:

“At first I was uncertain about the practicality of coaching for our business. But, not only did it help us think things through –  strategically and operationally, it gave us the ability to reconsider HOW we approach challenges and make process improvements as a result. The value of coaching has also encouraged me to adopt more of a coaching style in my leadership and management.”

The Victoria Pub (Hitchin) The Old George (Ickleford)

A Hill Tribe coach was assigned to help the management team of this Herts-based pub chain capitalise on their existing success:

Victoria Keevans, Managing Director of the of the two pubs, says:

“We were already running two profitable pubs, but the costs in terms of personal time and energy were just getting too much. We sought the input of a coach from the Hill Tribe organisation and it has really helped us to continue to be successful, albeit in a more sustainable way. Working at the top can, at times, be lonely; the coach offers an arms-length partnership and helps you hold yourself to account. I would recommend seeking out a Hill Tribe business coach, particularly , to those  SME owners and teams who feel overwhelmed by time and resource pressures.”
