Case study 1 - Life, workplace coaching for transitions

Transitioning from one career or job to another can personally be a difficult time. Many clients have used Star Monde coaching services to discover what they really want, how to go about it in a supportive environment and have been amazed at the transformation in their thinking and what they have achieved.

An aspiring author working full-time in the public service wanted to create a better balance in her life and move towards writing fulltime. To do so, she needed to learn to say 'no' to some of the many demands placed on her. Coaching helped her to decide what was really important in her life, the areas she had to develop further and how to manage competing priorities. She went on to produce a number of best-selling books and is in demand as an international speaker.

Case study 2 - Executive/management coaching

Executive members of a large organisation engaged in coaching to improve their leadership skills. As part of Star Monde's coaching series, a 360 degree feedback survey was undertaken and findings were used for goal setting and development. At the end of the series one member was promoted internally and another left the organisation for a promotion. All participants reported considerable improvement in their leadership skills.

Case study 3 - Team coaching

An organisation wanted to develop a high performing management team. The team was new, there was a recent restructure and staff weren't sure how to work together. Star Monde worked with the team (and included the 'elephants' that couldn't be discussed) over a series of coaching sessions with members becoming aware of how they were sabotaging their good work. The team realised the value of other members and by putting in place simple strategies and improving communications they were able to work in new and more effective ways.

Star Monde was engaged to facilitate a one day planning workshop for a new organisation. Three branches, each having different objectives, were amalgamated. Stakeholders, staff and management came together to work out how they were going to engage and work together for the next twelve months. As well as facilitating the day for over 120 people, Star Monde wrote a planning document for the way forward based on information gathered at the workshop.

Case study 5 - Communication services

Preparing forums, seminars and writing industry reports are some of the services Star Monde has undertaken.

A Government organisation required assistance in preparing information for young people. Star Monde helped to target their print and electronic information through the use of plain English and better design.
