Engaging a coach or mentor for an individual or an organisation is a very personal thing. At Ruya, we aim to provide a coach or mentor who has chemistry with the client, ensuring that there is a strong relationship based on mutual respect. Our coaches and mentors have been called open, challenging, supportive, blunt, and non-fluffy in that past, which is a point of pride. We aim to support our client to overcome obstacles in their career, business growth, culture of the team, leadership skills, or implementing good governance. At Ruya, we believe in the principles of positive psychology, with a touch of neuroscience, where each and every individual has the solutions and resources to resolve their own challenges in business.

Engaging a coach or mentor can offer several benefits, including:

1. Improved Self-Awareness: A coach or mentor can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. This increased self-awareness can help you make more informed decisions and achieve better results.
2. Goal Clarity and Achievement: A coach or mentor can help you define your goals and create a roadmap to achieve them. They can hold you accountable and help you stay on track to accomplish your objectives.
3. Increased Confidence: A coach or mentor can help you build your confidence by identifying your strengths and helping you leverage them. They can also help you develop new skills and strategies to overcome any challenges you may face.
4. Enhanced Leadership Skills: A coach or mentor can help you develop and enhance your leadership skills, such as communication, delegation, and decision-making. These skills can help you become a more effective leader and achieve better results for your team or organization.
5. Improved Work-Life Balance: A coach or mentor can help you achieve a better work-life balance by helping you prioritize your responsibilities, manage your time more effectively, and set boundaries to avoid burnout.
6. Improved Team Performance: For organizations, a coach or mentor can help improve team performance by identifying and addressing any communication or culture issues that may be hindering productivity. They can also help team members develop their skills and work together more effectively.

Overall, working with a coach or mentor can help you achieve your goals, develop new skills, and become a more effective leader or team member.

The approach and timeline for coaching or mentoring can vary depending on the individual or organization’s needs and goals. However, a typical approach and timeline for coaching or mentoring may include the following steps:

1. Assessment: The coach or mentor will start by assessing the individual or organization’s needs, goals, and challenges. This may involve interviews, surveys, or assessments to gather information and gain a better understanding of the situation.
2. Goal Setting: Based on the assessment, the coach or mentor will work with the individual or organization to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.
3. Action Planning: The coach or mentor will help the individual or organization develop an action plan to achieve their goals. The action plan may include specific tasks, timelines, and metrics to measure progress.
4. Coaching/Mentoring Sessions: The coach or mentor will work with the individual or organization through regular coaching or mentoring sessions. The frequency and duration of these sessions may vary depending on the specific needs and goals.
5. Feedback and Accountability: Throughout the coaching or mentoring process, the coach or mentor will provide feedback, support, and accountability to help the individual or organization stay on track and achieve their goals.
6. Evaluation: At the end of the coaching or mentoring process, the coach or mentor and the individual or organization will evaluate the results and outcomes. This may involve assessing the progress made, identifying areas for further improvement, and developing a plan for ongoing development and growth.

The timeline for coaching or mentoring can vary depending on the individual or organization’s needs and goals. However, it is generally recommended to work with a coach or mentor for a minimum of three to six months to achieve meaningful results. Some coaching or mentoring engagements may be longer or shorter, depending on the specific needs and goals.
