Career Coaching: Contracting. When a business of project fails It’s rarely down to the quality of the skill or the service. It is usually the lack of business-like behaviour that has the provider on the floor. You may be really skilled, gifted and talented but that counts for very little if your business protocols and […]
Career Coaching: Change: If you keep doing the same thing, again and again, you will get exactly the same outcome. This might seem like an obvious thing to say. It is however pertinent because even when we are unhappy, this is what most of us do. We moan about our weight or our work or our […]
Leadership Coaching: Boundaries. Being really clear in business, work and life regarding where the line sits is really beneficial in lots of ways. It shows others exactly where they stand and interesting they seem to really quite like it. We did Shadow-work exercise. Working in partners one had the ability to draw their partner near or send […]
Leadership Coaching: Freedom. If you are in a leadership role and it feels toxic, remember you really can still leave. If you are feeling unhappy, you can actually go. Whether you were the founder, or are a partner, if it was your idea, to begin with, but it has all turned to sh*t, remember you can just […]
Leadership coaching: Humility. The best leaders are those who admit that they don’t know what they are doing. Bold statement?

Leadership Coaching: Experience. Have you ever noticed that excellent leaders are often quite quiet? Why is that so you think? I suspect that this is because they are secure enough to listen.

Leadership Coaching: Always “On”. There are rising concerns regarding our flexible working culture leading to the ‘always on’. This brings the expectation that employees should always be available… this behaviour in turn leading to burnout. If you are a leader then this will not be unfamiliar to you. If you are a good leader you […]
Leadership Coaching: Procrastination arises in many forms. One form of procrastination is “busyness”. Have you ever noticed just how easy it is to tackle small jobs … only to discover that you have completely ignored ( skimmed over, gone into denial about, put off …!), the big thing that’s staring you in the face? The […]
Leadership coaching: What Next? What if you know you are a leader but you don’t know where to put yourself next? You’ve led projects. you’ve lead teams. You’ve led change. You’ve enabled stuff to happen out in the world & you’ve seen the results … What next? What’s your next challenge? Its time to find out […]
Leadership Coaching: Firsts. There is a Jungian belief that we have all we will ever need around us. And, that we can only access when we are ready. If you are new to a leadership role then you might be asking questions about your suitability for this role? What makes us ready to access all these […]
