What is executive coaching?

Coaching gives you depth of insight on what you need to change and and what action to take to achieve the lofty goals you aspire to.  Often, my clients want to address one or more of:

• Leadership - changing behaviours around confidence, empowerment, influence, inclusivity, cultural awareness and creating followership.
• Career - pursuing your own path in a dynamic world which has amazing opportunities but can be daunting and confusing to explore. 
• Time to think -Talking through challenges  that require the depth of thought often not possible in day to day work and life. 

I believe that in order to  achieve the change you want, you have to balance deep reflection with commitment to action.  As a coach, I facilitate a series of confidential one on one conversations to help you reflect on who you are, how others see you and the system in which you operate, as well as helping you to take practical steps to ensure your progress.  I have been told by my clients that I create a calm, safe, yet challenging environment for them to do their best thinking and achieve the change they seek.  

There is a strong body of evidence on the effectiveness and return on investment of coaching.  A recent review of over 160 quantitative independent coaching outcome studies not only found mounting evidence that coaching works but also that coaching is better researched than adjacent fields such as training, consultancy and management development programmes.  The results found a substantial impact of executive coaching with 95% confidence (Source: Hult Ashridge Centre for Coaching).
