Here’s how YOU can halve the time you spend managing people and yet make them twice as effective!
Let’s be honest, being a line manager in these stressful times is no easy task. You have to allocate tasks and supervise the work, but you also have to motivate people, build relationships, manage change, solve conflicts and deal with a host of other problems that leading people presents.
It can be difficult to find the time to do your own work and end up wishing that you’d never been promoted in the first place.
But now there’s good news...
I discovered a long time ago that managers who adopt a coaching approach are not plagued by these problems anymore. They get the work done and develop their people at the same time so that the quality of work and the quality of working life are both improved. Managers who coach have productive, honest relationships with their people where problems can be aired and innovative ideas expressed without fear of looking foolish. Managers who coach become the envy of their colleagues stuck in the dark ages of command and control.
But the best news of all is...I can teach you to become a great coach!

The 2-day residential course is taking place on:
1st - 2nd October 2008
at Longhirst Hall, Morpeth, Northumberland. The programme starts at 9am on the first day and will finish by 5pm on the second. You will be able to download a welcome letter with full details once we have processed your payment.
The programme is participative and interactive and includes some light physical activity. Nothing to worry about though as this picture proves!
Imagine one of your team sits down across your desk and with a weary sigh begins to outline the latest problem. You’ll now have a method for guiding that person to come up with their own solution so that you don’t have to be involved and they get to develop new skills.
Imagine it’s appraisal time and you’ve got to sit down with your worst performing team member. Now you know how to coach you’ll be able to gradually develop that person into one of your stars.
Imagine what a highly coached and capable team can do for profits, customer relations, quality and innovation.
We know that all of these things become easy once you know how to coach, but don’t just take our word for it...

You can’t get these secrets at any other course or programme
The market for training in coaching skills is polarized. You either get offered a one-day seminar which you can expect to mean about 200 people squashed into a hotel and subjected to hundreds of PowerPoint slides, or degree level programmes lasting weeks and costing thousands.
Our offer is unique. We have distilled 15 years of coaching experience into 2-days. What’s more, everything we talk about is rooted in the world of work. You won’t have to translate messages from the worlds of sport or entertainment and make them fit your circumstances. We understand your circumstances!
“Okay, okay. How much?”
What is it worth to you to be happy and motivated in your management role again? How much would your organization save from the reduction in sickness absence and absenteeism you’ll coaching approach will achieve? How much would just a 1% improvement in sales or costs contribute to the bottom line? It’s impossible to put a price on returns like this, but I know they’re achievable and you can expect them when you take part in our programme.
And the price...

As well as the cost savings outlined above, I will send a FREE copy of my new book Coaching at Work to the first 8 people to sign up. This is the hardback edition and is worth £25.
The book is the ideal accompaniment to the face to face training with loads of additional hints and tips to help you learn and embed your coaching skills.
I believe that our coaching programme for managers is the best available in the market.
In fact, I’m so confident that I’m also going to throw in a
100% “Better than risk-free” Money Back Guarantee

No hard feelings and no questions asked. There is absolutely no risk, whatsoever on your part. The burden to deliver is entirely on me.

You really can’t afford not to attend ‘Achieving Peak Potential – The A.R.T of Coaching!
I urge you to take action right now and book your place on this programme. Trust me; coaching is the vital management skill you need for the future with many job adverts now listing it as an absolute necessity.
Yours Sincerely,
Matt Somers
P.S. If you don’t take part in our programme, what will you do?
How will you deal with people who you know have plenty of ability but just can’t seem to produce results?
How will you deal with those members of your team who used to be really good performers but now just seem to coast?
How will you help your team cope with a world of work that is changing at a faster rate than ever before?
How will you raise motivation when you arrive on a Monday morning to a sea of sullen faces?
In a few weeks from now you could be tackling all of these issues with a whole new energy. Or you could be exactly where you are right now, still asking yourself these questions. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
Arrive as a manager, leave as a coach!
