Board & Executive Coaching

We coach board and executive leaders who are already successful but who want to develop from good to exceptional. Our coaches are passionate about making a difference for our clients and helping to deliver inspirational leadership behaviours.

In an increasingly globalised world where board and executive leaders face unprecedented challenges, professional coaching can help improve both individual and collective performance by accessing and enhancing a leader’s inherent skills and abilities. Our professionally accredited coaches, who are highly experienced business leaders in their own right, are skilled at providing their clients with the tools, expertise and confidence to get the best out of themselves. We are direct and challenging in our approach, coupled with a supportive style which enables client and coach to build up a mutually stimulating rapport and sense of trust.

The bottom line benefit – from our own experience as well as demonstrated in a significant body of industry research – is that coaching yields a substantial return on investment which can be measured. We use both transactional and transformational coaching.

Transactional Coaching

This is where you wish to address a specific issue or behaviour, for example:

• Confidence and contribution at Board level
• Enhancing self regard to drive positive behaviour
• Motivating/enhancing sales from retail units
• Stepping up to a new role at Director or Board level
• Influencing others – upwards and across
• Managing workload successfully
• Tackling under performance and dealing with conflict
• Developing Presentation Skills
• Developing ‘gravitas’ and presence

Transformative Coaching

This is coaching to achieve sustained behavioural change. For example:

• Developing high performing leaders
• Developing an authentic leadership style
• Developing empathy to support a visionary directive style
• Developing Financial Directors/highly rational leaders to be more emotionally intelligent
• Achieving successful and trusting relationships with peers/teams
• Identifying Life Direction – ‘living life on purpose’
• Team Leadership – inspiring/motivating
• Developing a coaching culture/capability – internal coaching programmes
• Developing emotionally intelligent leaders

Our approach to the coaching programme is typically driven by the coaching goals. In certain cases clients will opt for a flexible programme, where we work with live issues as they arise. We offer clients time to think which enables them to both problem solve and make decisions on current issues as well as develop a strategic way of thinking. Other clients work to an organised framework of coaching over, for example, a six month period. Our programmes are action and results-oriented and thus focus on demonstrable improvements in performance.
