Tikumu Consulting - Business Coach

Tikumu Consulting - Business Coach At Tikumu, we equip business leaders and teams to consistently achieve peak performance through tailored one-on-one coaching and dynamic group workshops.

Business Coaching

Any business which wants to be successful, whether it’s selling cars, books or nouvelle cuisine, must realise that they are in the people business first and then only secondly in the automotive, retail or restaurant business. Clever businesses know that if they want to succeed, their most important asset, their people, must be a priority. Understanding the team and looking after

the individual team members will result in the team looking after the business, actively involving themselves in achieving the business goals. So, how do you take care of your team? Well most people will say that money buys loyalty and maybe for some that statement is true, but for most good employees they want to know that they are being nurtured, grown, developed and respected by their employer. How can coaching help? Firstly, by introducing a coach into your business you are on the right path to achieving desired results. Business coaching will cover two areas, Individual Executive/Management coaching and Team coaching. Individual Executive/Management Coaching

During these coaching sessions, we will explore the individual’s personal goals as well as their business objectives and how these work hand in hand. We will evaluate and pin-point desired key skills, which separate good leaders from great managers and leaders. We will evaluate leadership styles and how they affect your team’s morale, productivity, environment and loyalty. Team Coaching

A business may have a group of brilliant employees, however the difference between a good business and a great business is that in a great business, individuals do not work in silos. The need for team members to work well together is critical for achieving business success. Team synergy is not always a given and must be established, nurtured and maintained. Team coaching is not a one-off team-building event. Team coaching is carried out over a period of time, where your team will cut through the clutter, set focused goals and action-plans and establish good habits, structures, systems and processes, which are entrenched into your team’s everyday working lives. A team-building event can be facilitated during the team coaching period, as an added benefit. Why have team coaching? Team coaching establishes strong team foundations. Teams will delve into the concept of working smarter, not harder and structure their goals and actions around this philosophy. Team members learn to maximise their resources. They improve communication skills and learn to brainstorm. They learn to successfully deal with conflict situations and how to manage difficult conversations. They learn to be accountable and take ownership for their decisions and actions. They learn to acknowledge and reward their fellow team members and celebrate team and individual success. Personal Coaching

"You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.” ~ Unknown

Most of us dream about being happier, healthier, fitter more successful and having a better work-life balance. However, we sometimes get stuck and don’t always know how to move forward and start the process of turning our dreams into reality. So we inevitably end up staying with the status quo and telling ourselves that we are happy with it. Really? So, just dreaming and wishing about taking control of your life is good enough? Well, if you were screaming “NO!” to the above question, then you are the type of person who wants more out of life, who wants to control the inevitable changes in their life and are prepared to move out of their comfort zone of enjoying the status quo then you are on the road to successful change. You are ultimately in control of what happens to you, you don’t need to ask permission from anyone, but you might just need a helping hand. I would like to support and guide you in changing your current situation for the better.

What is a non-negotiable for you?

One of mine is getting my exercise in for the day. It keeps my head right. I feel balanced and therefore am able to give 100% to my clients and the people around me.

This past week was an exceptionally stressful one for me. The wheels were doing a bit of a speed wobble, I will not deny that.

The one thing I did was to go for a run.

Get out of my own head. Soak up some fresh air and thankfully, some sunshine. Move my body and give my brain a bit of space.

The run doesn't make the challenges disappear, but after the run I come back feeling clearer, calmer and more equipped to deal with the issues.

Our non-negotiables are not an easy way out or us trying to make life easier. They just help us navigate the challenges better.

Coming back to the original question.

What are your non-negotiables to help you navigate life?

Risk is all around us.

Every day, we make decisions based on risk. We look both ways before crossing the road, check the weather before heading out, put passwords on our devices and insure our homes and vehicles. We do these things, just in case something should happen.

Yet, when it comes to business, we can be surprisingly good at ignoring it. Why is that? https://www.tikumu.co.nz/blog/what-risk-have-you-become-blind-to-in-your-business

Over the past 12 years running my coaching practise and through teaching I coaching skills at Southern Institute of Technology. One of the most essential skills needed by a great coach is objectivity and a lack of judgement.

Risk doesn’t always look risky.

There is risk around us every day. Overtime we get use to it and move on. We adapt, we work around things.

This happens in business all the time. Being able to react to situations is a great skill set to have, but it’s not a sustainable strategy.

We logically know there are risks, but because nothing has gone wrong, yet, we become complacent.

⚡ A key person leaves. – we work around this.
⚡A certain system keeps playing up – we work around this
⚡Cash flow gets tight – we work around this
⚡A supplier lets’ you down – we work around this

Again, all good and well that we can work around things, but that isn’t really a final solution.

However, so often the quick fix becomes the, final solution and the business doesn’t get stronger, it actually gets weaker.

The question is - what needs to be put in place to rectify things properly?

Part of a strategy is ensuring a risk assessment has been completed.

Preparing the business enough for the unexpected.

Do you have a risk plan in place?

“I’ll shout you.”
“Sing out if you need help.”
“She’ll be right.”

These were sayings I found incredibly confusing when I first immigrated to New Zealand, especially the shoutie one.

I just smiled, nodded and quietly tried to figure out what on earth they meant.

I’m sure a Kiwi would have the same reaction if I said, “I’ll do it just now.” Apparently, deadlines are a little more flexible on this one!

This type of assumption and confusion is something I see so often in business, on a daily.

How often do we assume people understand what we mean simply because it makes perfect sense to us?

Different communication styles, cultures, experiences and even workplace jargon can create very different interpretations.

Good communication begins with knowing that just saying something is not the full picture.
It’s taking it a bit further and ensuring that the other person actually understands.

Assuming they just “get it” is not, I can promise you, a great business strategy.

When we don’t communicate clearly, there is so much room for confusion, misinterpretation, missed deadlines, which then ends in frustration and short fuses, for both parties.

For communication to be effective, you must remove the guesswork.

The goal – a meeting of two minds.

What you meant to say and what they heard are the same!

So, what phrase have you heard, that left you thinking, “what on earth do they mean?” Id love to hear.
