Many “A-ha!” moments. You can expect to recognise where you need to adapt your leadership, and feel confident and equipped to make the changes needed to lead better.

Coaching will give you the opportunity to increase your self-awareness and take decisive action, cutting through complexity, surface critical decisions and strengthen your leadership presence.

We’ll also have some fun along the way too!

Let’s have a call and talk about what you’d like to gain from coaching, and my coaching approach.

What my clients all have in common is a commitment to personal growth, a willingness to explore their thinking and actions, and the self-awareness to recognise that they need to adapt.

They value my leadership experience, the depth of my coaching and how I challenge them to really get to the centre of the issue they’re facing.

I understand that it can be difficult to create coaching time in the working day, or context switch from steerco or operational reviews to coaching, so in addition to worktime coaching, I offer early morning, evening and Saturday coaching sessions.

I coach online and in person. Let’s chat about when and where is best for you.

I work with leaders from all sectors. My sweet spot is smart, capable and accomplished corporate leaders, senior managers to C-Suite.

For these leaders, coaching is rarely about skills, but about adapting how they think about and approach the complexity and uncertainty surrounding modern leadership.

Coaching and mentoring are two different, equally valuable practices. Mentoring is the practice of offering advice and guidance based on experience and knowledge, which drives change from the outside.

Coaching stimulates self-discovery, and self-awareness of what change a leader needs to make and drives change from the inside.

Whilst I offer coaching, with my years of corporate leadership experience, I can step into mentoring as well (with your agreement).

Typically, my experience enables genuine understanding of your context and challenges, and will mean that I coach from an informed position.

Yes – there are many studies. Here are two meta-studies.

Frontiers of Psychology – The effects of executive coaching

Analysis of 20 studies reported a significant and positive effects from coaching on behaviours, attitudes and personal characteristics, especially leadership behaviour, goal attainment and adopting new behaviours.

CIPD Leadership Development – An evidence review

Assessment of 43 high-quality quantitative studies. CIPD advocates a blended approach to leadership development.
