Executive & Team Coaching
Coaching is…
Coaching is the art and science of helping healthy and effectively functioning individuals to become even more effective and help them achieve their goals and gain satisfying outcomes in their careers, organisations, and lives.
Coaching is future-focused, forward-moving, and based on the pursuit of specific actionable outcomes. The collaborative partnership between coach and client emphasises action, accountability and follow-through.
I provide a highly personalised approach such that your experience will be completely tailored to your needs. The materials, assessments, models, and principals used on these interventions and programmes can be adapted for small group settings, large audiences or individualized coaching.
Coaching works...
Coaching works and delivers real, tangible and measurable results. Research and analysis commissioned by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers found and confirmed that the median return on investment for coaching is approximately 7 times the initial outlay for organizations that have used professional coaching for business reasons.
Leadership & Executive Coaching
In the ideal world, it would be great if we could step into leadership roles fully developed, with clear goals and direction. However, the reality is that we are often still learning skills on the job as we navigate the complex and nuanced roles and requirements of leadership.
Could this be you?
Perhaps you have just been promoted to a more senior leadership role or are starting a new job and want to ensure you have a solid and successful start?
Or maybe you’re struggling in dealing with particularly challenging management issues with your team or peers?
Or could it be that you’re feeling that your career hasn’t been as fulfilling as it should be, is stalled or there’s something missing in your life?
Or is it that you are ready to step up and want to move into the leadership ranks but don’t know how to make it happen?
The Solution...
As a Leadership & Executive Coach, I help you to sharpen and “hone your leadership” by providing a targeted blend of coaching and management development covering the likes of team building, and leadership styles analysis and development, strategic thinking, decision-making, conflict resolution, employee management skills, and so on.
The Power of Insight...
I am trained in and have access to a range of leading and well-proven and firmly established assessments and diagnostic tools that I use to help you (or your colleagues) gain an enhanced and in-depth understanding of your individual strengths, leadership styles, current performance, and opportunities for professional development.
From this customised and blended approach, you can expect to benefit by being better able to realise and deliver combinations of the following
Become aware of and then countermand the blind spots that are acting as career limiters, derailers that are sabotaging your ability to achieve your career goals.
Identify and then and grow your own innate strengths, skills and qualities.
Increase your capacity and executive presence.
Rebuild relationships after particularly challenging situations.
Develop and manage your team for greater productivity and collaboration.
Learn and know what you need to do to sustain the change in the long run.
Team Coaching and Development
Sports coaches at all levels will tell you that winning, effective, productive and cohesive teams don’t happen by chance. Rather it comes from everyone on the team knowing and committing to the team’s common goal and purpose and from leadership that can draw out the best from each individual member of the team to ensure that all are working collectively and harmoniously as one to achieve the team goals. I work with teams in order to elevate performance to new levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
