Leadership Coaching
I help leaders within businesses perform better. I have extensive experience of working on behalf of global organisations to help their people thrive rather than survive. I am adept at helping with the following areas:
- Succeeding in a new role
- Building executive presence
- Confidence
- Leading authentically
- Managing Imposterism
- Creating sustainable working habits
- Healthy boundaries
- Creating a long-term career plan
- Returning to work after maternity leave
The people I work with are often at the top of their game, running their own departments or companies and working within roles that have a high degree of complexity. Able to take charge and build rapport quickly, I bring compassion, honesty, clarity and warmth to my coaching, and my clients notice a difference from our first session.
As well as improving resilience my clients learn how to spot and manage their own “trigger” points, and learn how to get back on track when things go wrong. I help the people I work with get better at rolling with the punches – the things that work throws at us. Using techniques backed up by neuroscience, we explore what makes them tick, who they are when they’re at their best, and how to harness that self-awareness to become a more effective leader.
My coaching is goal focussed – with clear objectives and desired outcomes set right at the start, ensuring we’re both clear about what you want my coaching to achieve. This highly professional, robust approach is in part due to my business experience. I’ve been part of Executive Teams, reported to CEOs and led high performing teams. Business School educated, I know what it’s like to work in a fast-paced, complex operating environment, to have targets and multiple stakeholders. All this experience provides the backdrop to my coaching.
Typically, I suggest a programme of six sessions as a minimum, as in my experience this is how long it takes to create lasting impactful change, but I also create bespoke programmes depending on client requirements.
