Leadership coaching is a collaborative conversation that helps the client improve their leadership, influence and impact in leadership positions. A professional coach collaborates closely with leaders to identify their strengths, development interests , goals, and challenges and work with them to achieve the clients goals.
The coach acts as a sounding board, and accountability partner for the leader. The coach uses a variety of tools, and methodologies to help the leader discover their own solutions, learn and practice new skills, and change their behaviour in ways that support their goals.
Leadership coaching consists of one-on-one sessions in which a coach works with aspiring leaders to identify their strengths, development needs, and goals. Within a collaborative conversation, the coach provides support, challenge, reflection and feedback to help leaders improve their skills, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals. Leaders learn about their leadership style, communication skills, decision-making abilities, and emotional intelligence through open dialogue and exploration. Coaches challenge limiting beliefs, promote growth, and ensure accountability. Finally, coaching enables leaders to reach their potential, drive personal and organisational success, and encourage a culture of continuous improvement and development among their teams.
Leadership coaching has numerous advantages for both individuals and organisations. Coaching works to develop the leader's specific needs and goals, enabling improved self-awareness, communication, decision-making, and emotional intelligence skills to increase leadership effectiveness. Coaching also helps to accelerate career growth by unlocking leadership potential and expanding opportunities for advancement. Stronger leaders improve team performance, fostering engagement, retention and a culture of collaboration. Furthermore, coaching encourages a supportive environment in which leaders feel empowered to take risks and learn from mistakes. Overall, coaching helps organisations succeed by developing confident, resilient, and influential leaders who inspire others and drive positive change.

Coaching is focused on the areas of interest/concern of the client and addressing the interference that stands in the way of fully developed potential. Why coach?
Most people choose to work with a coach because it is useful for something that they want, to move forward from where they are now to where they want to be. Maybe a change that will strengthen their leadership skills, that will progress their personal goals, a relationship change, career plans, and/or their professional life.
Coaching is a collaboration conversation between the Client and the Coach. Questions and reflection create self insight, establish facts, and identify and if necessary, challenge perceptions to enable you to find answers. Your goals are the focus of the conversation. My approach to coaching is based on clarity of desired outcomes, powerful questions, challenge where necessary and acceptance that you or the client are the expert in your own lives. Change comes through dialogue, reflection and client action.
I work with clients to develop a coaching plan and collaborate with them on their selected challenges and desired outcome. Together we will pursue the specific actionable outcomes that are linked to personal and/or professional success.
