Career Coaching: What’s Next? This morning has consisted of a flurry of emails and calls from existing and new clients wanting to resume or begin coaching. What’s happened? I think that mostly, we are all beginning to recognise that life will never be the same again and secondly that life must go on anyway. With Lockdown, […]
Career coaching: What Matters? Ok, so here we are facing a pandemic. Most of us are in lockdown. Who would have thought this would be happening! In fact, from a business point of view, 2020 never had the clarity its title promised. With Brexit looming, no business could even have a 12-month forecast as we have […]
Leadership Coaching: Agility. There once was a leader who was Old Skool. He wore a suit every day. He worked in a young environment and all the others dressed smart-casual. He was very sales oriented. He did listen to his employees but would often take the reverse decision at the last minute. Morale was low in […]
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: 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: Redundancy. Once you have been in a leadership role, in my (not so), humble opinion, there is no point playing small in your applications or interviews. People will totally feel your power whether you voice it or not. Most of our communication is non-verbal. A good percentage is not even gestural. That means […]
Leadership Coaching Costs: There is a particular trait that I see in ‘my’ leaders. They are the intuitive types, the whole systems thinkers, they can spot in an instant when something is not working. They are often considered disruptive for trying to solve these problems because other humans are terrified of change. These truth-speaker and […]
Leadership Coaching Framework: I am noticing that is a really fine line between fear and excitement. I flew in from the school run this morning saying “I’ve gotta get on, I’ve got five clients today”. A 90-minute supervision session. Two New-Client assessment sessions. One Business Coaching session and a 90 minuted Career Coaching session. Now […]
The more work I do in supporting leaders in their development the more I notice one thing that guarantees success. I am coming to believe that when an individual is leading change the only sustainable way of doing so is if they do so from the real understanding of the cultural […]
Leadership Development: Questions. I have a deepening unease about the way we are treating our people and our planet. Are we truly on the verge of destroying the balance of something as valuable as life on earth. Do you too think we need to consider trading places? Can we do business differently? Can we avoid the […]
