Leadership Coaching: be your best self

Convert your own expertise into more meaningful impact : get clarity fast to help you deliver, not just develop.

Built for leaders driven by purpose, whatever your context - the pressures to be it all can cost the results. Learning to seek & accept support can be alien, but it really is better together.

YOU’RE NOT SHORT ON EXPERTISE OR DRIVE,

but the pace or results are no longer what you know you’re capable of! Whether you’re thinking of support for your own work, or for the people around you, there’s a modular package to help you apply the expertise you already have. It’s the smoothest route from here to where you want to be. Whether you’re leading solo or juggling multi-stakeholder realities of a programme, function, department or event, we’ll meet you where you are.

HOW IT WORKS

0 : EXPLORE : read the website, linkedin back catalogue, read posts & listen to podcasts - do what you need to ensure this feels like it might be right, for you, for now.

1 : START : step 1 is a series of questions to help us understand the challenges & identify the best approach, factoring in timeframe, expectations & anyone else involved.

2 : CALL : we’ll then speak, about the process, or even a short taster session, to create the conditions for the best possible outcomes.

3 : BOOK : arrange a mutually convenient time for the session(s), agree the contract, confirm first payment & agree processes as per your situation.‍ ‍

4 : THE WORK BEGINS : With the contract in place & a clear schedule for the sessions, we’ll agree how support works for questions that appear between sessions.

5 : CONSOLIDATE : all packages include a debrief & check in to capture your thinking & exact words, to reinforce the progress.

Your package might include :

Workshops

1:1 Coaching for you and/or others

Guest talks

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT’S THE RIGHT TIME?

  • There’s never a perfect time, normally it’s now. Sometimes the busiest is actually the best time to build in extra support - these processes are not about adding in new things, they’re all about helping you streamline what you already have, whether we use 1:1 Coaching or even a workshop, it’s centred around enabling you to better use what you already have. Time spent on this ALWAYS saves time elsewhere.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PROCESS?

  • If you’re here, it’s probably worth a chat.

  • No-one wants to build a process that isn’t helpful, so if it’s not a fit, we’ll be really open about that & recommend peers or alternatives.

  • If you’re ready to face what’s real and do the work to actually achieve your goals & overcome the challenges, that’s a great start - if we click, let’s plan a Taster session.

  • You will never be locked into a long term commitment - results are too important.

WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED? WHO ELSE NEEDS TO SIGN THIS OFF?

  • If you need to make a business case or get budget authority for this work, tell us what you need. Ideally we take full payment in advance, but we understand that some clients have PO processes, and like with all our work, we can adapt to what you need.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ENQUIRE?

  • A short conversation to understand your situation & pace.

  • A proposed format with costs tailored.

  • No obligation to proceed until it’s right.
