Coaching

Firstly 'Extreme Coaching' was designed for high performers who are dedicated to changing and changing at high speed. These are people who have things to do and want to be in the action and ahead of the pack.

Alternatively 'Extreme Coaching' is highly adapted to people who have simply lost their way in their personal life or even in their career. The best way to do justice to this very special and powerful coaching is to reveal a real life case history.

One of the early clients to take this option was Richard (not his real name). Richard had created and built a modern, energetic company to serve a growing need. After 10 years or so, he had achieved his first major goal when his CFO announced the company was worth £20 million. Richard then enacted the second part of his master plan, which was not exactly evident in the companies business plan. In a matter of a short period of time the second phase of his strategy had completely backfired and the company went into free fall. The bones were picked over by a few scavengers and that was that.

After a year of hate, anger and accusations Richard called Robert Denton and booked in for the extreme coaching weekend (Friday to Monday). This and all extreme coaching’s are held in a high mountain chalet in the French Alps. When Richard was collected at Geneva aeroport he was a shadow of his former self. That night he left the parking on a quiet mountain road and started his extreme coaching. He stepped into a set of snow shoes, pulled the fixings tight and headed up the mountain in almost a metre of fresh powder show. In the next 40 minutes Richard was faced by himself the unfamiliar semi-darkness and -14°C. Completely disoriented in a totally white landscape only lit by a crescent moon and the stars above he had no option but to let go of his hate and anger and trust in his guide.

The next morning at 06:00 Richard was found outside putting his snow shoes on. When asked where he was going, he answered, "I do not believe what I did last night, I just have to do that again to make sure it was real." 36 hours later Richard had broken through his cloud of hate, anger and distrust of everyone. At 14:00 hours on the second day of his extreme coaching while in the middle of an exercise Richard suddenly froze. There was silence for a few seconds, then Richard said, "It was all my fault. I destroyed my own company and I did not know what I was doing."

As the creation of new thinking patterns began to replace the old, Richard was suddenly struck by a completely different point of view from within himself. In that moment he saw what had happened to destroy his company with completely different eyes. His thinking had just made a quantum leap from his previous self delusion thinking patterns to that of an undeniable truth that everyone else who knew the details was aware of.

Within a year Richard had sorted out his life, found an ailing company, raised the money to buy it. Within one month of taking control he had doubled its turnover and put the company on the road to profit.

There is nothing like a real life story to paint a picture of changing from hate and anger to determination and courage. From lost to success is but a changed point of view.

Another case history is of Margret (not her real name). Margret is the manager of a company. When she took over the seat of leadership she also inherited a 12 year old problem her predecessor had been unable to resolve. For another 12 years Margret fought with this problem without success. Another problem was however dominating her attention and fear was growing. She loathed and feared the monthly directors meeting she had to address. Over the course of her Extreme Coaching Margret mastered a new set of beliefs, values and behaviours(skills). On her return she fixed the 24 year old problem. The next directors meeting she handled with extreme confidence and was for the first time invited to lunch with the Chairman. He was so impressed by the change he gave Margret his personal office and home telephone numbers inviting her to contact him at any time should she have anything important she wished to discuss with him. This extraordinary change occurred after 12 hours of retraining and refreshing old or adopting new values and thinking behaviour patterns most appropriate to her position and her directors expectations.
