What is executive coaching?

Executive coaching can benefit you as a leader wherever you are in your career and whether you are a CEO, senior manager, business leader, business owner, or anywhere in between.  

It can also help you get there if that’s where you want to be.

Coaching – “unlocking people’s potential to maximise their own performance” *

You can look forward to a number of benefits if you enter the coaching relationship with an open mind and the desire to succeed, including:  

Self-awareness

Coaching can help you see yourself more clearly, and challenge yourself and your beliefs. We can focus together on your capabilities and strengths, and work out how to capitalise on these to succeed, but also look at where you need to grow.

Changing your mindset

You have skills that you've developed throughout your career that might not be serving you in a senior role. I will help you identify and adapt them, or even help you stop using them – together we will ensure that you have the skills you need for the role you have and the roles you may want.

Emotional intelligence

A strong leader can benefit from emotional intelligence: understanding others and their emotions, and acting with empathy. I will help you focus on these areas and assess your teams and peers in the same way you assess yourself.

Maximising potential

By understanding yourself, your skills and how you work with others, I can help you maximise your potential to succeed in what you want to achieve, and be more effective.

Executive presence

All of these skills – and more – contribute to enhancing your “executive presence”: how you are seen by, and act with, others in a credible, confident and authentic way to achieve success.
