ARPAL Coaching –
The A Team.

Alison works with businesses to develop coaching cultures and is also deeply involved with coaching leaders in education through a variety of leadership programmes such as the NPQ for middle and senior leaders and Head Teachers.
Alison’s approach to coaching stemmed from working in developing countries where it was essential to provide sustainable leadership, so her idea of success is to ‘work herself out of a job’ by providing other people with the opportunity to develop themselves and to reach their ambitions.
Her belief that we are all amazing leads her to question, challenge, support and encourage her clients to find new perspectives and new ways of working, living and winning. Always with an eye on a clear return for the coaching and mentoring intervention, she will be working with you to set out a clear plan and keeping a close eye on the outcomes that you both describe.

Graduate educated, she has worked alongside local and public authorities and the voluntary sector across Wales.
She has been providing coaching through her own business started since September 2012 and also works in association with several training companies. “Poacher turned Game-keeper”, she worked with Oldbell 3 Ltd to evaluate leadership development interventions and other publicly funded initiatives during 2014. Currently, she has a coaching/assessing role supporting students taking the Welsh Government funded Higher Apprenticeship in Management. She also takes time out from this role to deliver bespoke interventions such as facilitating business planning and risk strategy.

Janet has extensive experience of leading and managing change across the public sector, implementing and challenging the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and working with chief executives, senior managers and elected members across Wales.
As a coach her style is supportive, nurturing and empowering. She establishes rapport easily and develops close and trusting relationships, providing a safe space for coachees to explore and confront their issues. She is open and empathic but will not shy away from asking the tough questions that, help to identify the issue so she swork best with those who are prepared to stretch themselves.
Janet works with people who want to focus on improving their performance, manage difficult relationships successfully, solve problems creatively, build increased confidence and self-belief to fulfil potential, and explore career direction.
Janet’s experience means that she is well placed to support executives and senior managers with difficult and complex ICT strategic issues and overcome cultural barriers that impact on the return in investment from ICT.

Ruth’s approach to coaching and mentoring focuses on leadership capabilities, behaviours and strengths in order to develop high performance and maximise individual potential. She works with leaders facing challenges and change as well as those who are seeking to further their career. Her supportive yet practical style delivers fast results.
