Leadership Coaching: Change. In my experience, change can only be led from a grounded place. Usually, grounded means the lived experience place. If you haven’t been through the experience yourself, you’d better be open and willing to co-create with those who have: These are the people who know what’s needed. These are the people who […]
Leadership coaching: vulnerability. There is little that bodes better for me as a coach, and for the relationship we shall build together, than the moment that a Coachee Says these words: “Well, I had my first breakdown in my early 20s…” That’s when I know two important things: That’s when I know that’s a client […]

Leadership Coaching and Development: Unashamedly political, I spend a lot of time in my life and my work defining what constitutes ‘good leadership’. I don’t believe that our government is exhibiting any of the traits I seek. Let’s take a look at the current political circumstances as if you were running a business shall we […]
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?
