Coach
I help people find a path from where they are now to where they want to be.
I bring clear insights, honest and wise counsel, uncritical questioning and positive empathetic energy.
I help people detect and give space to reflect on their own views and figure out the best way forward for them. I keep the sessions focused, real and cathartic.
I work in partnership, on a regular basis and achieved in a mutually agreed timeframe (some short, some long). I predominantly work in person in a 3rd space (up for a ‘walk and talk’ too) but happy to offer sessions virtually if this works best for clients. I also offer phone check-ins for those who find the extra support helpful.
I don’t represent a specific style of coaching. You buy into me, my broad professional lived experience and my unique style, all within a strong context of psychological safety. This is supported by my own dedicated learning in change management, organisational and differential psychology, philosophy, CBT and mental health.
My approach is usually in 3 overlapping phases:
DISCOVERY
INTERROGATION
ILLUMINATION
I help clients for example:
Develop a practice to work differently
Create space to do deep work. Think more. Do less.
Overcome fear of change and embrace it
Determine who they truly are and not what they’re trying to be
Find out what motivates them and what gets in the way
Develop workplace boundaries and coping strategies
Manage complexity and prioritisation
Build on their reputational value and create soulful stakeholder relationships
Develop leadership and/or management styles
Develop authentic confidence
Prepare for presentations/key meetings/interviews/additional responsibilities
Undergo a career change or start a new business
Navigate challenging conversations courageously
