“Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.” – Jeff Bezos, CEO and Founder of Amazon. Consider conducting an experiment in your organisation: ask people, particularly managers at all levels, about their perceptions of Learning & Development (L&D). What is the purpose of L&D? What does L&D do? What value does L&D add to the organisation? Who do they think L&D really is? What touch points do they have with L&D? What do they say about L&D when you are not in the room?

In my office, we like to dine out on this little anecdote. A University lecturer we know contacted her HR department and asked “How do I go about getting myself some coaching?” Their reply was, “Why, what's wrong with you?” This mentality is something we must absolutely avoid if we're to have any chance of coaching doing its job. Coaching is a fantastic tool to use in all manner of work situations – as we shall see – but only if it's positioned in a positive way.

Focus on one thing at a time to be effective.
