Breakfast Seminar : Unlocking The Secrets of Organisational Coaching
Are you considering launching an organisational coaching programme?
Or maybe you already have and are seeking ways to maintain the momentum?
Aimed at Senior HR and Operational Managers who are looking to find out more about implementing a coaching programme in their own organisation.
This is a FREE event where Dr Paul Turner* will share and discuss the findings of his research on organisational coaching. Paul will reveal the key strategies, models and tools on how to make coaching a success in your workplace.
The interest in coaching has increased year by year and is now a global phenomenon with billions spent on coaching interventions. Yet most of this money is wasted due to a lack of focus on evidence based knowledge that identifies what works and what doesn’t – organisations keep making the same expensive mistakes. Make sure that you don’t follow this trend!
Paul will give you a unique insight into workplace coaching and distil the learning from his PhD research project and related research activities by summarising what leaders, HR professionals, line managers and professional coaches need to know about introducing and maintaining a workplace coaching culture that delivers high employee engagement and performance.
Paul often quotes Confucius when saying that ‘knowledge without practice is useless, practice without knowledge is dangerous’, and affirms that this is particular true in the field of organisational coaching. Paul brings both coaching knowledge and coaching practice together in his approach.
Paul’s latest book ‘The Secrets of Organisational Coaching’ will provide you with a blue-print and route map for organisational coaching success.

CANDIDATE NOTES : 3 New Year's Resolutions for Job Seekers
Whether you are actively looking for work or a happy ‘Passive Candidate’ these notes are intended to keep you up to date with developments in the jobs’ market, forthcoming events and our news.
THE WRIGHT SOLUTIONS' BLOG
3 New Year’s Resolutions for Job Seekers.
If you are thinking about becoming a Job Seeker in the New Year we have 3 Resolutions for you to consider.
Don’t ignore the recruiters PROCESS
We always argue that you should be comfortable picking up the phone and talking to the recruiter but if that recruiter says “can you send me your CV” then do so. During a recent campaign we were inundated with LinkedIn requests, Twitter DMs and semi-speculative e-mails but we didn’t always get the CV! We don’t think the ‘perfect’ candidate slipped through the net but they could have done.
Take pride in your application
There are plenty of online blogs and articles heralding the end of the CV but the truth is that the CV and Application Form / Cover Letter is not yet dead! It remains the first thing that a recruiter and prospective employer sees about you. So typos, wrong dates, mixed up formats, and cover letters addressed to the wrong person and job are what they might see first. You want first impressions to count favourably
Know what your USP is
What makes you special? What are your strengths? Why are you better than the next candidate? It is good to know this and have a unique selling point that will appeal to a prospective employer. Make yourself stand out by being prepared to sell your skills and strengths in a suitable manner.
If you are reading this and are a HR professional looking for a new job then let us have a copy of that CV!

Candidate Notes : Don't ASSUME it will be quiet in December
If you are actively looking for work or a happy Passive Candidate these Notes are intended to keep you up to date with developments in the jobs’ market, forthcoming events and our news.
THE WRIGHT SOLUTIONS' BLOG
Why you shouldn’t assume it will be quiet on the job front in December.
Companies and managers want to start new projects in January.
Put yourself in the employers shoes and what would you rather be doing on January 2nd. Get cracking with a strong team in place or start thinking about looking at Job Specs and CVs and planning assessment centres.
The more forward thinking companies have DONE their recruitment by January.
Recruiting in December avoids the ‘Time Wasters’.
How often do we see people looking more keenly for a ‘Counter Offer’ rather than a new job in January. By contrast the person interviewing on December 22nd is showing genuine intent to go the extra mile and find a new job.
The savvy recruiter knows that December candidates are serious about their job hunting.
There is TIME to recruit in December. There isn’t in January.
Recruiting takes time for interviewers as well as interviewees. Often Senior Managers are closer to home in December and so may be more able to find the time to interview and make decisions.
The busy manager will be looking to get things wrapped up before Christmas.
There is real evidence that “December is Quiet” is a myth so our advice is to get your CV up to date now and be ready to be applying for roles and interviewing. If you take your eye off the ball on the assumption that it will be quiet and you could miss out on the perfect job.

Candidate Notes October 2013 : 3 things to give your application the edge
THE WRIGHT SOLUTIONS' BLOG
‘It’s very competitive out there’: 3 things you could do better during your job hunt to give your application the edge.
CV.
Have a look at the advert you are replying to. Does your CV highlight the relevant and specific experience asked for? Do you need to clarify previous job titles or explain industry sector experience to make sure you stand out? Is it worth explaining why you are applying for a role in Birmingham when you live in Essex?
- There is no rule that says you are only allowed to use 1 CV so give some thought about tailoring your application for each job and making sure you stand out.
Communications.
Are all your contact details on your CV and application? Are they up to date and accurate? Are you replying promptly to calls from recruiters?
Are all your contact details on your CV and application? Are they up to date and accurate? Are you replying promptly to calls from recruiters?
- Sounds simple but you would be amazed how many people leave a mobile number off a CV or don’t reply to a call for 3 weeks. Make sure you don’t miss out on a job because you can’t be contacted by a recruiter.
Interview Availability.
It is unlikely that you will get a new job without an interview. Have you thought about how you will make yourself available? Can you keep a day a week clear for interviews? Can you save up some holiday to use if needs be?
- Try and be the candidate with a plan. Make yourself available and accessible rather than only willing to do interviews out of hours. Make a friend of the interviewer before you have even seen them!
