How do I work?
Monthly, one-to-one
conversations, typically lasting 1˝ to 2hrs, held in complete confidence,
with leaders (actual, aspiring or potential) from a wide range of
different organizations and industries.
Drawing on my own corporate experience, professional background in
the human side of organizations, and training as a behavioural
scientist and psychotherapist, I help them look at their role,
themselves, their drivers and attitudes, their impact on those
around them, constraints they impose on their success and the
potential they could aspire to.
We deconstruct situations and use a variety of models to understand
them and to evolve alternative strategies for the future.
Working in this way for a decade, most of my clients see our conversations
as a significant part of their ongoing personal and professional
development. Naturally this depends on creating the right sense of trust
and confidence.
An introductory
programme?
Many new clients find me through a personal referral from a
colleague. From time-to-time, though, those
who wish to refer someone else have asked for an ‘introductory’ programme
of topics. I therefore distilled some key themes into a block of six
sessions which I offer at a fixed cost:
●
Where am I and
where could I (and would I like to) be?
●
The nature of my
'journey' - what has shaped my approach to leadership so far,
and how might I change?
●
What do I know
about myself? What do others see?
●
How do I become
an authentic leader?
●
How do my
relationships with others work? What could enhance them?
●
How do I
demonstrate Leadership? How does this differ from Management?
How should the balance shift?
●
What is my
greatest challenge and how do I achieve it?
Chief Executives, especially, find this a useful way of proposing my
support to members of their team or to friends. Those who hold the
purse-strings are comforted that this is not an open-ended agreement.
Individuals are reassured that they know what they are embarking on and
what it should help them achieve.
Kind words from
some of my clients...
Some of my clients
have kindly offered the following comments about their experience of
working with me:
"I don't
think you really know what an impact you have!" JS, HRD
"I would
gladly give you a reference any time. Our 'chats' were on the
mark every time. Your observations astute. And, even when I put
you on the spot, I knew I could trust you." DF, CE
"Your way
of looking at things, and way of feeding them back, baffles me.
You manage to make me aware of home truths, but I feel
encouraged at the same time." PW, MD
"I was
ready to give up. Frankly, I had. I never expected to look
back after five years and see how much more I could achieve and
how my life has unfolded." JT, TD
"Profound.
Almost taught me too much!" TY, MD
"You're a
one, you really are! A real challenge at times - and it was
tough, but what an outcome. And I'm sure we've not stopped
yet." MS, CE
"At the
time, we did some really good work together. You brought vision
and insight, and helped me challenge myself. But the real
impact is happening now. Quite simply my life and relationships
are totally different." RM, CEO
"A friend.
But one who doesn't get angry when things don't go the way you
know they could, but instead is there to keep things gently
moving forwards." BS, S
As a leader,
you
wouldn't want to decide whether we could work together without meeting, so
why don't we make an appointment for a trial coaching session?
At
the end of it, decide for yourself whether you want to go ahead.
Either way, the first session is on me. I'm not going to try to wrap
that up as a fancy gift, just a practical step forwards.
Call me on 07785
222380 to arrange a 60 minute coaching session at no charge. If you like
what we achieve and feel we could work together then I hope we will
arrange further sessions.
