Coaching

Accelerate your growth and achieve your potential through coaching.

We assist in the areas of:

Coaching helps people move forward to where they want to be. Coaching is provided by Ava Gibson, who customises coaching programmes specifically to meet each individual's unique needs and goals.

Achieving success is largely about our mindset, the way we think about things; and about having the skills and motivation to change behaviours, then taking action. Ava makes it easier to succeed by helping you gain clarity and focus, as well as supporting and encouraging you through challenges. She uses up-to-date knowledge and practical skills to coach you to achieve your goals.

Coaching can take place in person in Wellington, online through video-conferencing, or by phone. Group coaching is also available.

Detailed information and a free no-obligation 30-minute conversation is available prior to commencement.

Dispute Resolution

Orb Solutions has professionally trained, accredited mediators to help you work through differences and resolve issues. We can:

  • Facilitate a difficult conversation or meeting
  • Coach an individual to work through a conflict situation
  • Mediate a dispute
  • Resolve complaints
  • Provide training on skills in managing conflict and having difficult conversations

Conflict is a normal part of life. Conflict can result from differences in thinking, values, beliefs and behaviours. When left unresolved it can escalate, resulting in lower productivity, damaged relationships, low morale and can impact on health and wellbeing.

When things are stuck it is useful to have someone independent and neutral to assist. The earlier you seek help, the more options there can be for creating sustainable resolutions. For a confidential, no obligation conversation to discuss options call us on either 021 349 776 or 0274 282 672.
