LEADERSHIP, DEVELOPMENT, PERFORMANCE
Most individuals new to a leadership position, or who are trying to move into positions of influence within their organisations, have real doubts about what type of leader they want to be. Questions such as “Am I really good enough to be here?” and “If I give the skilled work to the people I lead, what do I really do?” are almost universal. It’s the answers that are individual.
I coach executive clients, ranging from Equity Partners at LLPs to Head Teachers and FDs, focusing on individual reflection that helps them to be more aware, efficient and confident in their personal goals and values. I specialise in coaching those who want to be a different type of leader to those who came before, and those wanting to make significant systemic change. Often working with individuals who have yet to carve out their own niche, and those who are seeking clarity on the path to achieving it.
Working one to one, I help clients discover strategies that are proven to shift individuals away from reactive, counterproductive behaviours and into a place of positivity and true leadership. The result? A much greater awareness of self and the complex system they work in, a better work-life balance and the generation of an authentic inner confidence.
Each coaching relationship with me begins with a free, 20-minute contracting conversation to establish expectations, boundaries and process. Once we’ve agreed to move forward on your goals, we progress on to the coaching sessions. These will be tailored to your needs and can be conducted either in person or virtually.
I follow clear ethical guidelines for all coaching practices, ensuring confidentiality and client wellbeing. I also have regular supervision from a highly experienced coach supervisor, and I prioritise my own growth through coach development programmes, both as part of this ethical agreement and to ensure my ongoing growth as a coach.
Credentials : I have over 400 hours of executive coaching, and 1,000’s hours of facilitating team and leadership development. I am an accredited Executive Coach with the Association of Coaches, ILM qualified coach and a certified Action Learning Coach with WIAL. I am also certified and experienced delivering Gestalt Coaching, Transactional Analysis and the IEQ9 Enneagram profile. I am an accredited Team Coach with Team Edge.
