Nurturing Leadership
talent...
Professionally delivered, an approach trusted by those in the know, who
seek highly confidential support to prepare the leaders of the future.
Unusual yet highly effective; sophisticated yet down-to-earth. Pragmatic
yet deep; respectful and yet challenging.
...
for the future
Monthly, one-to-one
conversations, typically lasting 1˝ to 2hrs, held in complete confidence,
with leaders (actual, aspiring or potential) from a wide range of
different organizations and industries.
Drawing on my own corporate experience, professional background in the
human side of organizations, and training as a behavioural scientist and
psychotherapist, I help them look at their role, themselves, their drivers
and attitudes, their impact on those around them, constraints they impose
on their success and the potential they could aspire to. We deconstruct
situations and use a variety of models to understand them and to evolve
alternative strategies for the future.
Working in this way for a decade, most of my clients see our conversations
as a significant part of their ongoing personal and professional
development. Naturally this depends on creating the right sense of trust
and confidence.
New clients find me entirely by personal referral. From time-to-time those
who wish to refer someone else have asked for an ‘introductory’ programme
of topics. I therefore distilled some key themes into a block of six
sessions which I offer at a fixed cost:
● Where am I and where could I (and would I like to) be?
● The nature of my 'journey' - what has shaped my approach to leadership
so far, and how might I change?
● What do I know about myself? What do others see?
● How do I become an authentic leader?
● How do my relationships with others work? What could enhance them?
● How do I demonstrate Leadership? How does this differ from Management?
How should the balance shift?
● What is my greatest challenge and how do I achieve it?
Chief Executives, especially, find this a useful way of proposing my
support to members of their team or to friends. Those who hold the
purse-strings are comforted that this is not an open-ended agreement.
Individuals are reassured that they know what they are embarking on and
what it should help them achieve.
Some of my clients
have kindly offered the following comments about their experience of
working with me:
|
"I don't
think you really know what an impact you have!" JS, HRD |
|
"I would
gladly give you a reference any time. Our 'chats' were on the
mark every time. Your observations astute. And, even when I put
you on the spot, I knew I could trust you." DF, CE |
| |
|
|
|
"Your way
of looking at things, and way of feeding them back, baffles me.
You manage to make me aware of home truths, but I feel
encouraged at the same time." PW, MD |
|
"I was
ready to give up. Frankly, I had. I never expected to look
back after five years and see how much more I could achieve and
how my life has unfolded." JT, TD |
| |
|
|
|
"Profound.
Almost taught me too much!" TY, MD |
|
"You're a
one, you really are! A real challenge at times - and it was
tough, but what an outcome. And I'm sure we've not stopped
yet." MS, CE |
| |
|
|
|
"At the
time, we did some really good work together. You brought vision
and insight, and helped me challenge myself. But the real
impact is happening now. Quite simply my life and relationships
are totally different." RM, CEO |
|
"A friend.
But one who doesn't get angry when things don't go the way you
know they could, but instead is there to keep things gently
moving forwards." BS, S |

MY OFFER
As a leader in an organisation in the UK,
you
wouldn't want to decide whether we could work together without meeting, so
why don't we make an appointment for a trial coaching session? At the end
of it, decide for yourself whether you want to go ahead. Either way, the
first session is on me. I'm not going to try to wrap that up as a fancy
gift, just a practical step forwards.
Call me on 07785
222380 to arrange a 60 minute coaching session at no charge. If you like
what we achieve and feel we could work together then I hope we will
arrange further sessions.
