Coaching at AIM

Coaching is a systematic approach to an individual's personal and professional development. It focuses on solutions and results by encouraging participants to learn how to procure new skills, improve existing ones, and become self-correcting. AIM's approach to coaching supports participants to generate new adaptive and successful actions. In contrast to traditional training and feedback, coaching is about lasting self directed behavioural change, transformation and growth. Coaching sessions allow individuals to work one-on-one with a focus on the most important areas for personal development. Coaching sessions will be tailored to suit specific needs and achievement of agreed goals in alignment with organisational goals.

The individual is the 'expert' in their situation, and coaching is about the strategic assessment of that situation, the development of action plans, and the realisation of goals. In short, coaching is about permanent enhancement of performance, not about remedial intervention.
