1-2-1 Coaching
I have over ten years of experience of 1-2-1 executive coaching - supporting C-Suite, founders, business leaders, senior managers and high potentials increase their effectiveness by having space to think more deeply, broadly and creatively about the challenges they face. Coaching provides a supportive, challenging and confidential sounding board to identify blind spots and your leadership “shadow”, solve problems, develop your impact and use your strengths effectively.
I am passionate about working with you so that you are able to lead with purpose and clarity to make a tangible difference in your organisation and to succeed in achieving your goals.
Success is not just about work achievements. It might mean being more fulfilled in your job, managing your time and energy even better or finding greater meaning and purpose in what you do.
As a coach, I am:
I have coached over 500 individuals in 50+ organisations in the private and public sector, ranging from large global businesses to start-ups and charities.
A Director of Software Engineering with significant talent and drive could not understand why he was struggling to get promoted. He felt that seniors were blocking his ideas and overlooking his contribution. At the start of coaching, 360 degree feedback was gathered, identifying that he was highly valued by his team but seniors saw him as difficult to work with - not his intention at all.
Coaching helped him to understand what might be driving this behaviour and how he could change it. As a result, the change in him has been widely recognised and rewarded with a significant promotion.
A recently promoted technologist wanted to increase her influence to persuade non-technical colleagues of her arguments and the impact that technology could have on the work they did. She also wanted support in managing the team that she had recently been a part of.
Coaching identified how to increase her impact and influence and how to make her points with greater confidence, which colleagues quickly recognised. She also felt significantly more confident in managing the team and was able to deal successfully with some challenging people issues with courage and resilience.
A recently promoted VP of Engineering felt overwhelmed by the increased demands of his new role. His days were filled with meetings and activity but he recognised he was not able to create the space and time to think strategically, define his priorities and focus on the most important aspects of the role.
Coaching gave him time, space and accountability to set clear priorities, put in place strategies to manage his time and to think deeply and creatively.
The founder of growing start-up was struggling to delegate to others resulting in the team feeling disempowered and frustrated.
Coaching addressed the impact that this had on his team and on himself and explored some of the experiences from childhood that led him to take on so much and to find it difficult to trust others.
As a result, he developed greater awareness of his behaviour and how damaging it can be to him and the team and is learning how to take a step back and empower others.
