Executive Coaching

“Kindness informed by wisdom is the foundation of our coaching work.”

James Flaherty

My goal as your Executive Coach is to support your development across both practical capability and deeper personal growth:

Horizontal Improvement

Become more skillful, more efficient and less prone to committing errors

Vertical Improvement

Become more present, less reactive and more connected to yourself and others.

This programme will help you address the specific leadership challenges you are facing today, while building the awareness, confidence and flexibility to respond more effectively to future challenges.

I will support you in becoming a more patient, empathetic, courageous and self-aware leader – better able to recognise and move beyond unhelpful assumptions, habits and patterns that may be limiting your well-being, relationships and professional impact.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a structured, confidential process that helps you develop the awareness, confidence and capability to respond more effectively to the challenges you face as a leader.

It focuses on you: how you think, lead, communicate, make decisions, manage pressure and work with others. Through thoughtful dialogue, reflection and practical development, coaching helps you see your situation more clearly, identify unhelpful patterns, and open up new choices for action.

The aim is not simply to solve the issue in front of you today, but to strengthen your ability to keep learning, adapting and leading well over time. Effective coaching helps you find a clear path forward, build sustainable performance, and become more self-aware, self-correcting and self-directed in your leadership.

What is involved in a Coaching Programme?

The coaching programme is flexible and will easily accommodate your unique situation and needs, whether you are seeking coaching personally or through your company, and whether the coaching will take place in person or online.

Chemistry Session

An initial ‘chemistry session’ to check whether I am actually the right coach for you

Intake Session

The first step of the programme is dedicated to an in-depth discussion of the issue you seek coaching for and my understanding of who you are and where you are coming from.

Coaching Plan

After the intake session, I will devise a goal-oriented plan for you with invitations to self-reflection, practices and tailor-made resources.

In Session

We will spend an agreed number of sessions together where our focus will be getting you closer to where you want to be.

Check In

When we reach the midpoint of our programme, we will take a step back to review goal progress and evaluate how well the programme is working for you.

Culmination

Our last session will be a recap of your progress in reaching the goals we set, an acknowledgement of how far you’ve come and a strategizing for your ongoing development.

Note that if the programme has been commissioned by your organisation, we may need to arrange a kick-off call with key stakeholders to ensure expectations and objectives for the programme are aligned.

For coaching to have a truly transformational impact, you must be open and ready for the journey. Others may recommend that you have a coach, but only you can decide if you are ready for one.
