Career coaching: Salary. The obvious” con” of the no raise promotion is that there is no pay-rise. Why should you all take on more responsibility and risk for the same pay? Why would you devote more time to learning and up-skilling yourself in order to better another’s business enterprise with no extra remuneration? On the flip-side, […]
One of the main Leadership Coaching Goals is this: To Make Yourself Redundant. You have to enable your team to find their own way….. “I think one of the key traits of a true leader is the ability to get things done through other people. If no one is following you, even if you […]
Leadership Coaching Skills: Take care of yourself. The best leaders lead well because they know what it’s like to go ‘through it’.

Leadership Coaching: Have you gained significant seniority in your sector? Are you seen as an authority in your field? And, are you experiencing real frustrations of leading within organisations and systems that really need to transition?
