WHAT CAN EXECUTIVE COACHING DO FOR YOU?

Coaching can be a transformational process and help you identify your path. It can:

• Develop your leadership skills

• Help you tackle challenges and become strategic

• Get clarity

• Build resilience to deal with setbacks and face a fast moving, technological and changing business world

• Identify your strengths

• Support you in making that leap of faith

• Change your mindset – to fail is not a failure but an opportunity to learn

• Address overwork and burnout before it is too late

• Work on difficult relations in the workplace

• Address the imposter syndrome

• Adapt to a change in role or career

• Make the transition from a full-time role to a portfolio or part time future

Here are a few examples from my coaching:

BOARD DIRECTOR

THE GOAL: To support a Board Director deciding whether she has the confidence to aim for a C-suite position.

AREAS WORKED ON: We focused on her relationships with her fellow directors and how she could  build her credibility and strengthen her leadership skills both at board level and with her team.  We explored which of the tactics she used to get herself up the ladder to board level are still relevant and whether any such learned behaviours should now be dropped or changed. She has been complimented by her CEO on her maturity and progress and is feeling confident in her ability to advance.

LAW PARTNER

THE GOAL: To support a new law partner in her business development and internal credibility with her new law firm.

AREAS WORKED ON: The client’s area of law is a new one complementary to the practice’s main focus. We devised a strategy to embed internal profile raising in her ‘first 100-day’ plan. Our sessions also explored opportunities and best practice for her business development and networking and we worked on team development and management. She has made great progress in developing her profile both internally and externally and is being referred work by her partners as well as introducing new clients to the firm. Recently she has been invited to join the firm’s Strategy Committee. 

ARCHITECT 

THE GOAL: To help an architect partner develop and expand their business. 

AREAS WORKED ON: The practice was starting to attract a following and win awards. The partners were keen to devise a plan for the expansion of the business, including identifying the firm’s unique selling points and being more structured in their approach to business development. We explored the values of both client and firm as being integral to a business plan. We examined how the client could feel more comfortable delegating to her team to free up strategic thinking time and identified ways of encouraging creative and innovative contributions from their employees. Through the coaching we devised an outline business plan and addressed the client’s lack of confidence in networking.
