In 360’s I have seen (senior) women significantly underrate themselves, their colleagues consistently rate them higher (anecdotal – William – researchable opportunity). • How to ensure you have appropriate and muscular sponsors in place. • Practical strategies on issues e.g. new options, new perceptions and greater choice on how you are and what you do and how you do it.

Why Coaching? TF Coaching is a transformational space and practical tool to explore, grow and ultimately succeed. A brief history of Coaching: • Coaching is the birth child of Mentoring first found in the classical period in Greek mythology. ‘Mentor’ appears in Homer’s Odyssey, a wise and experienced guide for Odysseus on the epic journey. • ‘Coaching’ term started in the latter part of the 1880s, mostly associated with the sports profession. • Coaching is powerful medium for change and success here aligned within the whole TF Programme. • In business the idea of coaching developed as organisations needed to understand employee motivation, their development and progression needs. • Tim Gallwey's book "The Inner Game of Tennis" in 1974 related to a more psychological approach to peak performance. The opponent in one's head was greater than the one on the other side of the net. • In 1992, Sir John Whitmore, "Coaching for Performance" and developed the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will). 7
