Mary is a senior manager who was having difficulty managing her workload and her stress levels. During three two-hour coaching sessions we set clear short and long term goals and defined clear success measures. We brainstormed options for managing her workload and discussed techniques for stress management. By setting achievable goals and milestones Mary was able to track her progress between sessions, allowing us to concentrate on issues that were blocking her in achieving her goals. We defined clear actions plans for elements that Mary could change whilst using Cognitive Based Coaching to change her attitude to things that she couldn’t change. After the three coaching sessions Mary reported that her stress levels had gone down by 50% and she was managing her workload more proactively, delegating tasks to others and saying “no” to work outside of her own remit, allowing her to prioritise her time more effectively.
