DEVELOPMENT COACHING FOR LEADERS
​
Building deeply credible, grounded performance leadership
that's entirely individual to you

YOU
You may have taken on a bigger mandate or find you are too often in the weeds of work rather than focussing where you want to be. It’s also possible you are waking up to ‘is this what leadership has to be?’ and it’s not something that is nourishing you. ​
Our work creates breathing space between the intense busy-ness of the everyday to shine a focus on what will make the difference that is important to you.
The focus here is on what you want to deliver, the impact you want and how you not only survive but thrive in doing that. There’s not much point if you are utterly depleted with little left for life outside of work. Here you can build solid foundations that will serve your leadership for years to come.

Read the top ten books on leadership....
You'll get some good ideas and models that have worked for the authors - the catch is each book will tell you to do something differently. You're in this job because of who you are and what've you've done so far, and of course you'll have questions of yourself in this new climate.
How do you amplify what you're really good at, avoid the bear pits of politics and build more confidence to lead in the way that feels right to you? What are your blind spots, what might you not have considered, where do you need to skill up and where do you need to be highly focussed, in amongst all the intensity of the every day, what's really important (versus what others think is)?
​
Then there's everyone needing something from you, whether direct reports, peers or those you report to - it's intense. You need the space to get to the mandate delivery you'll ultimately be evaluated on by the business. It is also delivering on the vision you had for this role, and beyond.
​
You may also be interested in developing practices that keep you sane, with time for the family, for yourself, so you can do your best thinking and thrive in where you are at. We all have the best of intentions, our work will support you deliver on those.
Working with me
Here're some of things leaders want to work on: Stakeholder management – boundary setting – hiring & firing – confident decision making – imposter syndrome – shifting isolation – network creation – collaboration skills – team engagement - 'difficult' direct reports or peers - upward management - navigating 'politics' - emotional triggers - running stronger meetings - getting promoted - overwhelm.
Coaching
You want to understand and amplify your own personal way of leading to deliver on your mandate and not get swamped in stress in the process.
​
You want to keep what you know you do well and expand into areas you want to be better at. Recent work has covered:
​
-
How imposter syndrome and other hidden barriers show up and can be vanquished.
-
New ways of bringing out the best in their people
-
Dealing with tricky older people playing politics in the business
-
Options in 'triggering' situations, how to stay grounded in their power?
-
How to be less 'nice' - upping the ante
-
New inspiring ideas on old issues
-
How to build collaborative honest networks that powerfully support their leadership - that are fun and inspiring to be around
Facilitation
Whether you already have a designed workshop or group meeting frame or are wanting to create one I can support you. You want to get the most out of bringing your people together; working with someone highly experienced at holding space and group dynamics can significantly deepen the value of your investment.
I can also support post development learning in groups – where they need to embed what they did on the course.
​
Recent work includes:
- embedding behaviour change in European wide organisation
- developing coaching skills in leadership
- connecting leaders across several organisations to share ideas and support with challenges.
​
I mentor coaches to design powerful workshops for their clients and leaders to hold useful spaces and meetings for their people.
​
Skills & Language Short Workshops
Often leaders have the right instincts in the conversations they want to have, the way they want to lead or the environments they want to create with their people, but they lack the actual skills or language to action it.
​
You can access these 1:1 or as part of a group in your organisation.
* Increasing the impact of your presentations and inspiring groups
* Delivering tough messages
* Being clearer in communications
* What to do when you get 'triggered' in meetings
* Feedback processes that get your people to change

for Inspiration
The realities of what it's like to work in organisations everyday, at whatever level you are at, can be very different to the textbooks.
​
From time to time I will share ideas and resources you can use straight away in your workplace, virtual or IRL. They'll be inspired by work we might have done and work we're doing with people who want the same things you do - inspired, creative people, profitable businesses and making a difference in what you do.
​
This is like an inside track, a fly on the wall to what leaders and their direct reports are thinking and talking about.
