Find Out More About Coaching & Working with Me 

Executive & Leadership Coaching is a partnership which enables an individual to unlock and maximise their professional and personal potential in their executive or leadership role.

Coaching is goal-focused and equips you to become more effective in your role by building your self-awareness, drawing upon your strengths and resourcing you to build confidence in your development areas.

Coaching sessions are client-led. They are focused on a goal that you wish to achieve, which we scope out for the session and/or for the duration of the coaching relationship. If the goal changes throughout the coaching relationship, we work together to adjust the coaching objectives.

As your coach, I will ask you thought-provoking questions, encouraging you to think deeply about what drives you and what you really want to achieve in your role as a leader. All coaching conversations are confidential.

Through coaching tools and techniques, together we will work on identifying what may be in the way of you reaching your full potential and identifying strategies to overcome it with a fresh perspective, enabling you to feel resourced to deal with any challenges as you progress through your leadership career.

The benefits of executive coaching are many, leading to an improvement in the individual’s professional life with a positive ripple effect on their personal life and on the organisation in which they work.

As goals in coaching are personal to the individual, we will scope out together what it is you wish to achieve. Below are some examples of what clients have achieved through coaching with me:

Individual

• Dedicated time and confidential space to focus on your personal and professional development.
• Greater clarity & increased motivation, with tools and resources to support yourself beyond coaching.
• Increased self-awareness, leading to improved soft skills such as strategic thinking and emotional intelligence.
• Increased confidence in their decision-making, career direction and purpose.
• Improved wellbeing, with the tools and resources to avoid burnout.

Benefits for the organisation

• Talent retention
• Team development
• Improved performance
• Employee wellbeing

Mentoring

Mentoring involves sharing knowledge, skills, experience and advice to help somebody to progress. In contrast to this, coaching takes a non-directive approach, exploring the individual’s own knowledge and skills to enable them to develop themselves.

Consulting

Consulting involves giving expert advice on a particular subject. Coaching is different to this as it enables you to discover the answers for yourself, enabling personal and professional growth and sustained change.

Counselling

In simple terms, counselling revisits the past and focuses on healing it, whereas coaching focuses on the present and moving forwards to a goal.

Counselling supports individuals with mental health conditions, providing clinical care to treat it. Coaching takes an approach of supporting mental fitness, helping you to become more resilient, fulfil your potential and reach your goals, while taking a proactive approach to your wellbeing.

I have completed the ILM Level 7 Diploma for Executive & Senior Level Coaches and Mentors. In addition to this, I am accredited at Senior Practitioner Level with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). 

To hold this accreditation at Senior Practitioner level, I have completed over 250 hours of coaching, attended regular coaching supervision and I adhere to the EMCC Global Code of Ethics. 

You can find a link to the EMCC Global Code of Ethics here. 

I am also an ICF certified Emotions Coaching Practitioner, holding a safe space for clients who wish to explore their emotions and learn how to manage them in their work.

Before you decide if you wish to proceed with coaching, we will have an informal 30 minute virtual call to explore what you would like to gain from coaching and for us both to decide if we are a good fit to work together. 

If we decide to proceed, I will send you a pre-coaching questionnaire for you to complete before our first coaching session. 

Each of our coaching sessions last 90 minutes over Zoom, with the exception of our first session, which will last 2 hours. I will follow up with comprehensive session notes, actions and learnings that you have identified during the session. 

As we approach the end of the coaching relationship, I will provide you with a reflection form to enable you to look back at and celebrate what you have achieved through coaching, before taking away an action plan to continue your personal and professional development beyond coaching.  

All of our conversations are strictly confidential. 

Having spent the last decade supporting Procurement teams, a lot of my coaching clients have experience in this area and I love to support them to increase their impact. I do have clients within other professions who wish to achieve similar goals to my Procurement clients, such as increasing their impact, their resilience and their confidence.
