Executive Coaching

Home > Expertise > Executive Coaching

“Every leader is different. Every business is different. So while the complexities change, the work of coaching stays the same – keep your clients at the center of the work, push them to use their strengths more and to temper their weaknesses, and illuminate blind spots because these are what really get in the way.”

― Stacy Feiner, Talent Mindset

Coaching Overview and Process

I work with clients to establish a trusted relationship through partnering with the individual and the organisation to achieve measurable goals and to bring forward the client’s highest potential. Coaching is driven by a number of different inputs, multiple sources of data, including interviews with stakeholders, peers, direct reports and CEO/Line Manager, along with appropriate diagnostic tools to form a robust, individualised, outcome focused development plan. The development plan is agreed with the line manager in a three way interaction.

I coach at your workplace or at my office or via phone/skype and my sessions can be supported by digital media and video as a communications tool.

Approach to ongoing professional development

I believe in doing the work myself so I can be ‘clean’ in my own observations and processes, I practise:

 

  • Peer supervision quarterly.
  • One-one supervision with a Coach to ensure clarity and removal of biases.
  • A minimum of 300 coaching hours per year to maintain professional competence.
  • Two professional development courses undertaken per year (e.g. I recently completed a leadership program at Harvard University).
  • Members of groups on LinkedIn appropriate to coaching.
  • Research/publishing on leadership e.g. I (with a colleague) completed a white paper on collaboration.
