Board, Executive & Leadership

Our approach is direct and supportive; transforming the performance of your leaders; the role models and senior influencers in your business. It is specifically tailored to the needs of the leader and builds competence, confidence and rapport. The process involves leadership assessments such as 360 degree assessments and behavioural interviews with key stakeholders (e.g. sponsoring managers and direct reports). This information is used to create and agree goals for the coaching. Progress towards these goals is evaluated at a mid-way and final review.

When leaders adopt coaching behaviours they build stronger teams and improve communication for trust and understanding. A typical executive coaching assignment focuses on:-

  • Board & executive relationships, understand the impact on others
  • Organisational dynamics
  • Key stakeholder management, communication, conflict management
  • Networks and peer relationships
  • Influencing strategies

What is Coaching?

Coaching is simply a conversation between a coach and coachee. It focuses on agreed performance goals and measures for the coachee; raising the coachees awareness and creating responsibility to determine will and take action. Coaching unlocks the potential within the coachee to raise and improve performance. It helps them to learn in the most effective way for them.

There is tremendous growth in coaching and it’s having great effect in many businesses, transforming performance at work and improving the quality of relationships in people’s lives. It raises the performance of the individual which can be directly measured in business results; retaining and growing talent within the organisation.It is specifically tailored to the needs of the coachee and builds competence, confidence and rapport. When leaders adopt coaching behaviours they build stronger teams and improve communication for trust and understanding.

Coaching delivers results in large measure because of the supportive relationship between the coach and the coachee, and the means and style of the communication used.

“Coaching is unlocking a persons potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”  Tim Gallwey

Transpersonal Coaching

Connect to a power greater than self!

Coaching is evolving and a deeper connection with the power of coaching is being manifested through greater self-awareness, greater focus and therefore greater results for the individual.

Many of us yearn to change aspects of our lives and find greater meaning and purpose to our existence.

‘By altering my consciousness can I really bring about a deeper transformation, or will it just be another superficial perhaps temporary, improvement?’

The key to true transformation is that nature doesn’t move forward in step by step movements. It takes Quantum leaps all the time and when it does, old ingredients are really recombined.

Change can be scary, with change comes the unknown……the uncertain…..and we often fear what we don’t know. But when you embrace uncertainty and accept it as it is, the universe opens up to you – a universe of infinite possibilities and potential.

Connect to this power within you, experience of meaning, purpose and direction personal responsibility and placing others before self – connect to your deeper identity, your higher organising principle.
