MAXIMISING YOUR ABILITYTO COACH

According to Deloitte, Australia is one of the leading countries in smartphone addiction. Estimated to be on our phones twice every hour and up to 110 times a day -- our addiction even ranks ahead of the US and the UK*2

Growth, volatility, change, and disruptive technologies constantly drive companies to shift their underlying modes of communication.

With the power of smart phones, the decrease in data charges and increase in speed of data all now converging, we are seeing a relentless penetration of mobile technology into all areas of business and life with the inevitable transformation and challenges that brings.

There is no denying that we are becoming a generation plagued by FOMO (fear of missing out) - that sinking feeling one gets if they can’t check their phone as soon as it beeps, or heaven forbid being estranged from mobile connectivity for any healthy period of time.

A NEW ERA IN COACHING

Brisbane based company Achiiva has identified a way of harnessing this strong mobile technology focus and set out to play a key role in leveraging the power of mobile into the coaching relationship.

In creating a mobile coaching product, Achiiva worked with a wide range of coaches from life and executive coaches to managers and trainers who coach, with a view to understanding the different coaching approaches and common challenges.

Demonstrating value and progress.

In addition, Achiiva worked with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Graduate School of Business to ensure the latest research in relation to coaching and mentoring was also incorporated.

When it came to coaches, some of their key challenges were centred around process.

When clients were asked what their biggest challenges and frustrations about being coached were, there were surprising responses.

With Coaches and their clients wanting different benefits, Achiiva started work on creating a mobile coaching application to bridge the gaps, an app that allowed the client to feel connected, supported and able to see evidence of ‘traction and action”.

The app allows coaches to have a flexible and comprehensive set of tools to support delivering coaching and build a business. Achiiva also offers a set of built in tools to ensure they can meet all the core competencies, while providing a comprehensive audit trail.

Thanks to a lot of input from the coaching community, QUT and lots of ‘real life’ testing, Achiiva created a design that supports the above aims but also supports the ‘uniqueness’ that each coach brings to the table.

‘We are creating a new era of coaching delivery, tapping into the changing psyche of clients and the unrelenting penetration of mobile technologies into daily life”.Gabrielle Button, Achiiva CEO
