We use a variety of coaching approaches to address the physical and psychological impact of cancer. Our coaching significantly complements and enhances EAP and Occupational Health services.

These are some of the issues* we typically discuss with individuals during coaching.

The coaching process

Coaching is tailored to each person’s specific needs. It’s flexible and is arranged on a session by session basis but typically involves:

• A coaching needs assessment 
• A series of 1-hour coaching sessions working with you to facilitate the most realistic and practical work-related outcomes. These sessions can be held face to face at a suitable location, or over the telephone or by Skype, Facetime or equivalent.
• Unlimited telephone and email support
• Each coaching relationship is documented in a coaching contract outlining the coaching objectives and services to be provided
• Access to WWC’s Best Practice Guides, and other resources 

Coaching typically covers:

• The cancer itself and managing its side effects while working
• Handling initial and continuing conversations with others including your boss, work colleagues, suppliers and clients
• Dealing with changes at work to people, processes, systems, workload etc
• Making and changing ‘reasonable adjustments’
• Social interaction at work and outside work
• Family and financial worries
