"My aim is to support and challenge executives to achieve stretch goals at a personal and organisational level. Where appropriate, open and honest feedback is facilitated as well as personal disclosure in order to increase openness, trust and strengthen relationships. This leads to more effective dialogue and increased confidence to confront difficult issues. "
Executive Performance Coaching
Assignments typically last from six to twelve months. The coaching agenda is agreed along with measurable success criteria. The coaching programmes are tailored to the individual client and may involve, alongside one to one sessions, any or all of the following: key relationship coaching, shadow coaching, colleague and 360 interviews, psychological analysis or personality assessment.
100 days is a specific coaching product aimed at maximising the client's impact in a given (sometimes the first) three months in role. 100 Days is a proven, intensive and targeted performance coaching intervention which is designed to be deployed as timely support for the transition of key players into critical roles. It is a one to one, tailored programme for a newly appointed key contributor, who may have a powerful position in the client organisation, with an experienced Executive Coach.
"My purpose in any Executive Performance Programme is to provide confidential coaching to business leaders in order to robustly support and rigorously challenge their direction and execution of their vision for the business."
Top Team Coaching
Top Team Coaching is a tailored intervention designed to develop the performance of leadership, including Board and Senior Management teams.
Each Top Team Coaching programme is developed collaboratively with the client and is deliberately designed to change both mindset and behaviour. Typically Top Team Coaching Programmes are challenging in their design and involve one-to-one work, observation, dialogue, experiential skill building workshops and learning with work teams.
"My fundamental purpose in most Top Team Coaching projects is to help create the conditions in which the client Leadership Team has increasingly open, honest and frank conversations in order that its members build improved working relationships and provide unified leadership for the journey the organization is embarking upon."
Performance Leadership - Coaching the Organisation
Performance Leadership is a powerful way to engage leaders at all levels within a client organisation in key conversations around factors driving performance in order to mobilise and focus their people to achieve strategic outcomes.
"Your key issue may be to drive up shareholder value, or achieve some other measurable step change in performance. Performance Leadership encourages your people to take ownership for performance, lead critical performance conversations and increase engagement and ownership in the business. This is achieved through focussing on key behaviours and facilitating insights and raising leaders' awareness at every level; in effect coaching the organisation to coach its own performance."
