Executive coaching.

Executive coaching and leadership development really benefits from an outside perspective to really see what matters and what challenges are getting in your way.

Not everyone is a born leader.

Not everyone is a natural born leader. In fact, has any leader ever ‘just happened’? It’s not uncommon for employees to become managers yet not to become leaders. You can’t assume that people know how to lead just because they’re technically skilled or have become a manager through promotion. Also, and more importantly, you have to want to lead people and to do the best by them. This takes both time and empathy to develop into a being good leader.

How coaching works.

One-to-one coaching – in person or online, there are packages to suit. We always start with an informal chat to see what the best approach would be – you can book an initial call on Zoom here.

Working together, we might work in two-hour blocks or single hours. All this depends on whether you’ve got a particular project or challenge to work through or are looking for longer term career coaching. Single sessions for team members are usually an hour long and arranged in a pre-agreed amount each month.

I work in a pragmatic and practical way to help you, but with empathy and understanding too. After all, this is about you.

Executive coaching & leadership development.

To address leadership and communication skills, impact coaching and how to lead a team from the front, leadership development can include:

  • Hourly coaching as a standalone set of sessions
  • Part of a monthly business consultancy package shared across your leadership or senior management team
  • Full training programme development and delivery

Neurodiversity coaching.

I also provide one-to-one coaching and team training for neurodivergent leaders and employees. Understanding different communication skills and styles for people particularly with autism and ADHD is a focus area which I offer clients. Learning how to give meaningful feedback, communicate effectively and understand a full team’s strengths ultimately builds a higher functioning team and a more supportive workplace.

As a student of the Positive Psychology Academy, I bring a neurodiversity focus to my coaching and training. Do get in touch if you have any specific requirements and I’d be delighted to discuss these.

Personal resilience.

I spend a lot of time focusing on resilience. This is just as relevant for business owners trying to balance all the diverse needs of running a business but also for employees. One-to-one coaching and team training workshops can be tailored to suit your organisation and regular coaching hours arranged monthly.

Coaching is beneficial for people who are negatively impacted by their surroundings in the workplace. You may have been the subject of bullying or are struggling to adjust going back into work after a period of time off. In a supportive environment, we’ll work together step-by-step at your pace. By working together like this, you can regain your confidence and resilience and ultimately be stronger than before.

Career development.

Coaching is great for career development. You might want to make more of an impact in your workplace or are looking to leave and want guidance on where to start. If you have a CV which you’re proud of and the resources to draw on when needed at interview makes all the difference.

We can work together on finding what the opportunities are in your current organisation and how you might approach these. Alternatively it might be time to change jobs, you’ve been made redundant or had a career break. For these situations we’ll focus on your CV, applications and prepare for interviews too.

I also work with clients who want to take the next steps in their business and may have reached a plateau. Perhaps you need to pitch your business more and need some structure to your content. Or your team has grown and now you’re delivering speeches and presentations but need more confidence as a leader.
