New to Management? Coaching Could Ensure your Continuing Success...

- from Roberts and Company (incorporating Classic CVs and CV Plus)...for new and aspiring managers - to help you to accelerate your career.

Please see 'About Us' for our history - bearing in mind though that this website is predominantly about YOU and your future - not us!

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps you are considering Coaching because you are apprehensive about your new appointment; maybe even experiencing a little self-doubt. This is quite understandable - and normal!

This is new territory, so it would be unusual if you were not just a little nervous about dealing with a whole host of new, unfamiliar, and sometimes quite challenging situations.

For example - how do you establish yourself as an authoritative, competent, and confident manager in the eyes of your colleagues (former and new)? Somewhat unfairly perhaps, they will now expect you to know all the answers, to help them to achieve THEIR objectives, and to help them to solve THEIR problems.

In other words, you will be expected to LEAD, and to INSPIRE.

A 'critical friend' in the form of specialized mentoring could provide just the right kind of support to help you to arrive at sound conclusions and to make right decisions: in other words to help you to do just that - to LEAD, and to INSPIRE.

· Dear Michael, Many thanks for the cv. I think it is great! I can add in the gcse's, by the way. It was such good fun filling out the questionnaire, especially as it was online and my brain does tend to work so much more efficiently when I am writing on a pc rather than on paper. It was just a brainstorming session really and such a relief to know that a professional such as yourself would pick out the most relevant information. It has been a weight off my mind! I would never have come up with such a good layout, thank you so much. Yours sincerely, R H.
