my approach
Current leadership and management thinking shows that there is a real need for leaders who are: flexible and dynamic; in tune with their own vision and values and able to balance their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. For centuries there has been a tradition of one-to-one personal and professional development, through gurus, coaches, counsellors, therapists and mentors. This practice produces increased knowledge, develops skills, gives a greater sense of self and leads to improved performance and unconditional positive regard for self and others.
coaching helps you to:
develop your personal and professional effectiveness
become more aware
identify your motivations, history, strengths and vision and build on them
solve problems and manage change
improve interpersonal relationships
develop greater self-awareness and belief.
Coaching offers a strictly confidential, personal, development opportunity for you to reappraise your current position, to define your future and to help you to overcome any hurdles. My work aims to create a safe and nurturing context where you can develop by gaining a greater understanding both of yourself and of the ways you can deliver you vision in a rapidly changing world. You will develop your own critical reflection, so that you can lead yourself and others with the confidence that is borne of inner authority.
