Sales Development Coach

During my probation period I’ve had to face some unexpected challenges and the support of yours made it possible for me to come out stronger than ever. Even though we had 7 sessions in total, it feels like we spent much more time together during these 3 months. After introduction, we quickly started identifying the topics we should be looking into to help me grow as an individual as well as a team member.

In the beginning of this year I was in a very tough situation and I found it hard to connect with people. I wanted to make improvements on many fields in my life and with the guidance of Robert soon I gained the confidence to do so. He was always prepared with questionnaires and interactive tools to make learning more interesting. Thanks to these and our shared effort to get into detail, I can proudly say that now I have a far better understanding of my strengths and capabilities. To this day he keeps me updated on the topics we discussed, sharing videos and recommending books on the traits I wanted to improve on, from writers like Mel Robbins and S.J.Scott.

I wanted to get my motivation back by dropping bad habits and implementing good ones. Fortunately this is something that Robert has plenty of experience with. He was very patient with me and great help in setting and reaching new goals. We were very much on the same page with everything we discussed and he helped me focus on the present as well as prepare for challenges that the future holds. Sometimes the homework I received included tasks I already added to my daily routine (30-day challenge) and those always put a smile on my face. During the online business coaching sessions I learned a lot about myself and I’m still about to do a few personality tests, as now I see how relevant they can be sometimes. I’m pretty much a problem-solver who likes to work without getting too much attention, yet being as helpful as possible. In the past few weeks I received positive feedback on multiple occasions from both my Manager and the customers I keep in touch with and honestly saying, this gave me the biggest boost since I started working at the company. It feels good to be recognised and I look forward to putting more effort into widening my knowledge about the products we offer, the systems we use and integration in general. I feel like I found my place here and I’ll do my best to make my colleagues feel the same way around me. Huge thanks again!

I had been promoted right before we started our session with online business coach Robert Kokai. I have been new to my current role so the timing was perfect as I needed some guidance on how to perform at my highest potential as a Team Leader. In each session we set a goal and talked through the steps I should make to reach it. After each session we agreed on tasks I had to complete to obtain/improve a skill. I learned different techniques about how to communicate effectively with different kinds of people, how to help the team grow and find their potential. We made some tests which I could do with my team as well to determine everyone’s role within the team. Since there was a structural change within my team, the team members felt that they did not know their roles in the new set up. I used to be the go-to person before and since the change they did not know who to contact, if they could still turn to me, who is considered as the senior one in the team and how to reach out to each other. With the Belbin test we defined everyone’s role within the team and got a better understanding on how to communicate with each other more effectively.

I also learned how to delegate tasks which seemed difficult in the beginning as I also got used to the go-to person role and did not want to lose their trust.

The benefits of online business coaching are many; it helps to increase self-awareness, improve work performance and relationships. I learned a lot about myself as a person and as a team leader too.

It is a great opportunity if someone needs guidance in business related questions/areas or would like to have a better understanding of themselves.

I highly recommend it.

Well, I don’t even know how to thank you for what you did for my team member! I just don’t want to believe what a transformation she’s gone through. My team’s jaw drops every day …. we have a regular daily accountability meeting, plus Continuous Improvement (CI) meetings once a week: and she speaks a lot, she has very good CI ideas we are currently working on these to put into practice. Thank you very much for everything!

Coaching helped to believe in myself more. I have a stronger confidence to grab the upcoming opportunities in my work life. I had some problems with visibility, but now I am more willing to reach out other people in asking for help. I could also benefit  in terms of holding and organizing a meeting, about how to bring it closer to the participants. In addition, coaching gave me a better view on prioritizing activities and gave me help in concentrating more on the really important things. As a conclusion I would say coaching was an important milestone in my work life, as it strengthened me to make more confident decisions.

I have identified a very good experience and a great opportunity . The peer coaching helped me to achieve the expected goals and results . It helped me to change my attitude, to add new habits, and take action to improve my work ; besides I have learnt some new techniques and i practiced new exercices that I can use. I have also learnt how to know my strengths and how much it’s important to focus on them to be able to show them. After this coaching session I can see a big and a positive change. That’s why I decided to learn more and continue self improvement as there is always the opportunity to develop.
