New Appointment

We worked with a senior interim placement coaching them through the on-boarding process to ensure they had developed appropriate strategies and plans prior to commencing their assignment. The objective of such a coaching programme was to ensure the individual settled into their role quickly and confidently having prepared themselves to make a positive impact.

Providing individuals with a coaching programme to assist them in making the transition to a new role and/or organisation is highly effective and creates a very positive impact; the individual feels valued, supported and appreciated and the organisation ensures that the individual is able to make the best possible start.

Executive Coaching

Providing a senior business executive with ongoing, one-to-one, coaching. In this instance the coaching was arranged directly with the individual and this has enabled them to use the coaching to address a wide range of issues they are contending with.

As with many Executives, the challenges and pressures of work are continuous and ever changing and the competitive nature of the workplace constrains individuals from openly sharing their thoughts and concerns with colleagues. Similarly family and friends aren’t likely to provide the necessary support a professional coach does.

Career Coaching

The coachee, who had recently been made redundant, had not been in the job market place for some considerable time. They wanted to ensure that they gave themselves the best advantage when applying for new jobs.

I would highly recommend CDL Development to anyone who is considering a career change or who has found themselves in the unfortunate position of being made redundant.

Performance Coaching

Providing a positive and supporting coaching relationship allowed the individual to define and develop meaningful goals that were both realistic and stretching.

I have found Debi to be a challenging and influential coach. She was prepared to go as far as I felt comfortable and then pushed me further. She challenged my thinking, my perspectives and my emotional baggage. Her personality is forthright, open and honest. I would not hesitate to recommend Debi to anyone.

Leadership Development Programme

Many organisations cut or stop any ‘discretionary’ expenditure during times of financial difficulty; the challenge was to provide a cost effective programme that would deliver the required learning and organisational change at a fraction of the normal cost.

Bespoke Leadership Development Programme

The Cabin Supervisors have a crucial role in managing and leading their teams; engaging and inspiring the crew was an important aim of this programme. With significant budget restrictions and cutbacks to the service the crew’s role in delivering an excellent customer experience had become even more significant.

Chris conceived, developed and delivered groundbreaking leadership programmes for cabin services management and senior cabin crew at MyTravel Airways. These programmes produced impressive results, delivering genuine and sustainable behavioural change in these teams and measurable business performance improvements

Performance Management

There was a pressing need for a Performance Management system that would ensure effective feedback and management of performance across the Cabin Crew community. The system needed to be simple, easy to administer and focussed on the key areas of work that the crew performed.

Talent Management & Succession Planning

The organisation was used to working with autonomous business units and hadn’t any prior experience of global Talent Management or Succession Planning. This was compounded by limited investment in the development of senior leaders and thus the business didn’t have any plans in place to identify, develop and manage its talented leaders. Similarly there were limited pockets of activity in terms of Succession Planning with inconsistent approaches. The requirement was to design, develop and implement a global solution combining Talent Management and Succession Planning; an Organisational Capability Review (OCR).

Developing Self Awareness – Discovery

Ensuring that learning interventions produce effective development is critical, especially when working with senior leaders in a business. This is compounded by the fact that we naturally cover our weaknesses to protect ourselves; personal disclosure of weaknesses isn’t the norm yet it is essential in order to provide individuals with the most appropriate development support. We have designed and implemented several a approaches that provide a confidential, safe and supportive means of raising self awareness; identifying strengths, weaknesses and creating personal development plans for individuals.
