My Coaching Approach

I'll give you six things that you don’t get enough of at work or indeed in life.

The first is a protected and safe space away from the ‘to dos’. Time to talk, time to reflect, time to get off the treadmill.
The second is probably the best listening you will ever have experienced.
I'll give you, with your permission, completely honest feedback – something you probably rarely get. And I’ll support you to do the same with your own people. (And we can include 360 feedback as part of this process if you choose)
I'll ask you those tough questions that you may well have been avoiding - challenging both your thinking and ‘the way things are done around here’ in your organisation.
I'll help you to start turning wishful thinking into reality – to actually do the things you’ve thought about and not quite known how or where to start.
I'll help you to be even more successful with less effort

My coaching approach is borne out of my own successes and failures (often my best learning!) in the corporate world.

It is also influenced by my own life experiences.
