Why Coaching Planet?

Planets are moving objects, revolving and circulating. The continuous motion of the Planet is an indication of being dynamic. My coaching model P-L-A-N-E-T is dynamic not static. Hence the coaching process obeys a continuous improvement approach. Through our coaching model, the client lives on the PLANET of success and achievement. You perpetuate within the PLANET achieving your SMART goals, strategic objectives and finally your dreams.

What does P-L-A-N-E-T stand for?

Plan – Lean – Act – Note – Evaluate – Think & Touch high

Coaching Approach

Both in business and in life, no matter how smart, intelligent or creative we are, we need a path to go through, a process to obey, to achieve our goals and overcome the obstacles we face.
​
Our coaching approach is based on a chain. The rings of the chain are flexible and allow for innovation. PLANET coaching model is composed of six rings, namely;

Plan
  • Establish the Strategic Objectives and commit to them
  • Ensure complete awareness of the current situation with open mindedness.
  • Identify the issues and problems encountered.
  • Establish SMART Objectives and commit to them
  • Break down SMART Objectives into finite targets.
  • Determine the constraints; organization vision, mission, culture, values, beliefs, code of ethics and legalities.
  • Establish output expectation based on the completeness and accuracy of the specifications as well as the targeted improvement.
  • Create trust in the work place and hold yourself and the team members accountable.
  • Creatively set the processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the expected output. Have confidence in the process, yourself and your team. Commit to the process.
