About This Coach

Teak's overriding presupposition is that as human beings we are efficacious - we have the power to produce or are capable of producing a desired effect.

We are always producing an effect, consciously or unconsciously. Is that effect, congruent in line with what is important to us, and our sense of self?

The focus of his work is to design, create and deliver workshops that support individuals and organisations to be efficacious. Teak's style is both reactive and proactive.

Reactive in exploring relevant experiences and appropriate options for the client, that fosters learning and enables them to act. The first, small step towards what they want.

Proactive in creating a safe, challenging and supportive environment in which the client has the choice to create a project that "will take their breath away".

The benefit is Self-Efficacy - the sense of belief that one's actions have an effect on the environment. With this sense of belief we can:

• Assume responsibilities of leadership;
• Motivate ourselves and others;
• Resolve conflicts;
• Manage personnel and organisational relationships;
• Make appropriate decisions;
• Communicate effectively.

The outcome is increased effectiveness.

He is currently delivering workshops to fourth year Pharmacy student's at the University of Reading on Self-awareness, Effective Communication and the NLP Well-Formedness conditions.
