“ The introduction of coaching to support on job application of what is learnt in the training room, particularly in the area of behaviour change, makes a lot of sense. However it also costs, in our case, more than the actual training. I am fortunate that I work in an organisation that is enlightened enough to see the value of coaching and therefore provides me with the necessary funds. The experience to date we have had with coaching is that it has easily paid for itself based on results. ”
“ We are also fortunate to have found Vivat to carry out this coaching. Coaching has become a bit of a fad. Consultants calling themselves coaches have become a dime a dozen. I would encourage you to be careful in your selection, check for qualifications, get them to coach you to test out their capability, ask for frameworks and principles that they work to. We did this with Vivat and both the concept of coaching to assist transfer of learning and the quality of coaching that training course participants have been fortunate to experience, have resulted in coaching becoming institutionalised with all our behaviour based programs. ”
“ I found the sessions with Emma a great way of not only achieving the goals set in the original training, but also invaluable in recognising the real underlying barriers that were subliminally proving to be "road blocks" to my development as a sales consultant.
Emma's professionalism, manner, skills, & acumen were refreshing and the program proved to be a very exciting and fulfilling exercise for me. Thank you! ”
“ Though I would have attempted to use the skills / techniques learnt during the course, through the discussion with the phone coach I was able to refine these roles to suit myself and my work environment as well as gain a better understanding and focus on the areas I personally needed to improve. ”
“ The coaching experience was absolutely excellent in every respect. ”
“ I have put into practice the things I have learnt and seen the results. ”
“ I found both (client company name) and Vivat to be very professional in all aspects of the training program. It was a most enjoyable experience and I gained a lot out of it. ”
“ The coaching held my feet to the fire on the agreed issues. The result was a translation from an agreeable concept on an intellectual level into actual behaviour change. ”
“ I would like to thank Emma for the un-quantifiable results I have gained, particularly in the area of self-confidence and an optimistic attitude. Her insightful and easy-to-understand approach has helped me greatly. ”
“ The coaching sessions were excellent, exceeded my expectations. Not only have my sales improved but also the road to the sales is a lot more controlled on my behalf. ”
“ This is the first time I have had coaching assistance following a training course. I found it extremely useful to speak to someone who was not an employee regarding various issues. I also found it fun and Emma was reliable and professional. ”
