A sense of cost. Some individuals in the second sector are concerned at
investing scarce funds in personal development, especially when such
funds may have been donated for specific charitable or public benefit
services. Our approach to individual coaching in this sector recognizes
this concern and we are pleased to discuss options with individuals and
organizations who have such concerns. We also look to make a
contribution to society. |
| |
Flexibility in use of time. Some individuals working in the second
sector face time constraints because they work part-time or as
volunteers. They find it difficult to commit to coaching programmes and
prefer a series of individual sessions fitted into their work patterns
as and when required, and with the coach maintaining the continuity of
the development. We are usually able to meet these needs, and are
willing to coach during hours that match the needs of the individual. |
| |
Utilization of new technologies. Many individuals are locally based, in
small or rural communities, and do not have the time or resources to
travel in order to participate in development work such as coaching. We
offer coaches who are skilled in coaching through Skype, telephone and
E mails. Also through our PIN website we are able to offer online
discussion forums and guided reading specifically designed and
available to particular groups organizations. |
| |
The challenge of partnerships. For some people working in the second
sector there is a need to influence others within partnerships and in
complex stakeholder situations whilst looking to fulfill the values of
their own group or organization. Our coaching in such situations is
focused on this differing set of managerial skills which often includes
the ability to steer between conflicting political, regulatory and
social demands. |
| |
Sharing values. Although coaching is a professional discipline there are some advantages in a coach being familiar with the values and demands of the sector in which they are working. Our coaches have many years experience of working as volunteers in a number of second sector organizations in the fields of care, arts and culture, young people, education, and sports. We focus on the needs of those who we are coaching and do not impose our own views, but on occasion our own insight increases the quality and relevance of our conversations. |
