1:1 Coaching

Regardless of a title, we are all leaders. Leaders of ourselves. Leaders of others.

We consistently lead others. We are always observing others. Constantly shaping our view of leadership and leadership qualities.

We all remember a good leader

We all remember a poor leader.

All leaders should have the time to develop and grow into the leaders they want to be. To reflect on who they are, how they portray themselves as leaders and how they want to develop on their leadership journey.

Personal coaching to focus on you. To be the leader you want to be and the leader others want to follow (and remember)

Coaching that provides the time, space and challenge to explore your own thinking.

Focusing on your best thinking and using it every day.

Time to understand yourself, what you want and what you want to focus on. Time to focus on your own thoughts and plans and turn them into action and outcomes.

Dedicated time to work through your best thinking, get solutions and progress quicker. Problem-solve, self-manage and model positive leadership all with someone who partners you to understand where you want to be and how to get there, sooner than you would do otherwise.

There is true value in verbalising your direction of travel and then working together to get you there. Supporting you to thrive.

Executive Coaching

If you’re working at an Executive or C-suite level this is for you. Executive Coaching considers executives demands and expectations, namely leading a team and leading an organisation.

Executive Coaching will: 

  • Develop your leadership capacity
  • Be results orientated.
  • Be a partnership between you and your coach
  • Consider team expectations within results
  • Support you to navigate challenges
  • Identify and achieve your outcomes.
  • Find your natural authentic leadership style
  • Help you work through dilemmas
  • Learn and translate that learning into results (for the organization).
  • Support you to be highly effective.
  • Support you to look within yourself to ‘kick start’ change within your organization.

Leadership Coaching

If you hold a leadership position within an organization but not an executive position, leadership coaching is for you.

You may be new to leadership or looking towards a promotion. You want to reflect, grow and improve.

Often we enter leadership with little or no coaching. It’s a case of finding our way over time. We don’t know, what we don’t know. Coaching helps you to know sooner and to use that knowing to improve, sooner.

Leadership Coaching will: 

  • Provide personal insight into who you are as a leader
  • Ensure personal growth and development
  • Increase professional development
  • Increase your self awareness
  • Explore who you want to be as a leader
  • Identify what you value in leadership
  • Clarify what makes you the leader you are
  • Help you see what’s missing
  • Help empower you as a leader
  • Increase your confidence as a leader
  • Ensure you bring others along with you
  • Ensure you are remembered as a good leader.

Development Coaching

You might not hold a leadership title but you know you want to grow and develop professionally. You may not feel fulfilled in your current job but you want to be. You want to find the right job for you. Maybe you know exactly what it is, you just want support to get it.

Development Coaching will: 

  • Identify your values, vision and aspirations
  • Increase your self awareness
  • Develop your understanding of self
  • Identify your career values and drivers.
  • Clarify your strengths
  • Confirm your areas for development
  • Explore opportunities that feel aligned
  • Enhance career fulfillment.
  • Provide direction
  • Provide certainty around future direction.

"Nicky has been an inspiring and supportive coach to me for the past 12 months.

She has given me the confidence and motivation to make decisions and take action. Nicky will question and challenge you in a direct, but non-confrontational way.

I would describe Nicky as a professional, compassionate and confident coach, and I would recommend her to others working in the public, voluntary or private sector.”

"For the first time I fully understood what great coaching looks like.

I can’t do justice in words to how much I valued this session with you. You have guided me in my own reflections towards an understanding of where the barriers to progress lie.

It felt liberating to realise the truth; that the ‘maze in my mind is exactly that – in my mind – and I therefore have the power and capability to navigate my way out of that if I choose to do so.
