To dive into the world of coaching in the wellness space for employees, we spoke to Marita Williams, manager of Organisational Resilience & Coaching at Life Health Solutions. Let's explore the types of coaching offered at Life Health Solutions and the impact they can have on individuals and organisations.
The value of coaching for working professionals
For those uncertain about the value of coaching in their lives, Marita offers a compelling perspective. She encourages professionals to view coaching as an investment in their personal and professional growth. “Coaching increases your personal capacity to shift from where you are to where you want to be. It propels you forward into a dedicated space where you can explore your meaning and purpose, and your goals to live that purpose. With the guidance of a coach – who serves as an indispensable accountability partner – you’ll get valuable insights into overcoming your challenges. Coaching is the best gift you can give yourself.”
Diverse coaching offerings
We provide a diverse range of coaching services tailored to meet the unique needs of organisations and individuals. “We offer executive, leadership development, career, well-being, and life coaching. The approach and methodologies are firmly grounded in neuroscience (neuro coaching) coaching principles, and, depending on the focus area, the coach facilitates the coachee's journey to new meanings, new decisions, new actions, and new ways of being,” says Marita.
Organisational resilience coaching
In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we integrated coaching into all Employee Wellness Programmes (EWP). Marita emphasises the pivotal role coaching plays in enhancing leadership capabilities, fostering adaptability, encouraging effective communication, building diverse and inclusive teams, and developing resilient leaders and organisations. The focus is on supporting individuals and teams to thrive amid disruptions, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being.
Customised coaching services
Recognising the unique needs of individuals and their challenges, we take a personalised approach to coaching. Marita explains that a needs assessment, profiling tools, and understanding individual and organisational goals help in designing bespoke coaching programmes. The use of diverse coaching techniques and methodologies ensures accessibility through virtual and face-to-face interactions.
For individuals and teams
Building resilience within the organisational context requires a multifaceted approach. Marita highlights the importance of understanding the current challenges and stressors through assessments, surveys, and interviews. The integration of leadership support, resilience training programmes and team-building activities creates a culture of resilience. By combining coaching with EWP, we help individuals and teams navigate uncertainties so they can thrive in the face of challenges.
