Executive, Leadership & Development Coaching

Helping you be the leader you want to be and the leader others want to follow

Perform at your Best

I help you be the leader you want to be and the leader others want to follow.

I support you to lead yourself, lead others and lead in your organisation, whilst staying true to your natural leadership style.

Through focused and dedicated time , we will work together on your agenda and get you to where you want to be, sooner.

We will work together to help you be your best version of a leader.

You are the expert in you, how you lead and how you do your job. Through having the time and space to think we create the opportunity to work through what you need to get the results you want. My job is to focus on you, to move you through to your desired result and to ask the right questions at the right time, to bring out your best thinking.

The single most important thing I can do for you, is to be present and focus on you. Rapport and our relationship is the foundation of what we do. I work with this to truly understand what you want, why you want it, how it serves you and how to get you there. I want our time together to be purposeful and productive, insightful, impactful and enjoyable. The outcome: for you to get the best you can, to be the best you can.

A Little About Me As A Coach

As a coach, my main focus is you, not me. However I appreciate that in identifying a coach people often want to know more about who their coach is.

1:1 Coaching

Individual coaching includes: increasing job satisfaction and fulfilment at work, enhancing performance, preparing for promotion or career change, adapting to change at work or a change of expectation.

This is a personal service. It is based on your requirements.

Team Coaching

Team coaching involves truly unifying a team for a shared goal and purpose, to clarify the desired outcome and work collaboratively, utilizing shared resources.

This explores what your organisation and your team want.
