“PEOPLE ARE AS HEALTHY and confident AS THE STORIES they tell themselves”

HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH PRESSURE, HIGH EXPECTATIONS. AND THAT’S JUST FROM YOU.

When you hit the big seat, your influence can be used for good or for evil. Making calls that are strategic, values-driven and consistent with the needs of others - well, that’s where it gets interesting. That complexity can be a thrilling test or an anxiety-inducing ordeal.

Leadership requires consistency and clarity. In your thinking and communication.

Together we can focus on those leadership qualities that will give you traction, and that your team requires. We’ll define your natural style, pull you back from where you’ve wandered into troublesome behaviour and refine those elements that put you in a position of responsibility in the first place.

Everyone questions their ability to lead and inspire others, and everyone makes mistakes. Our conversations are held in a very safe, non-judgemental space with someone who has held a similar position. We can practice, debate or prototype your ideas and POV. Whether you’re making a strategic move or working through interpersonal challenges, I’m here for it all.

EXECUTIVE COACHING

REDUNDANCY RECOVERY

Unexpected redundancy can be truly crushing.  It happens to a surprising amount of us throughout our career, but we’re never quite prepared.

When the industry fluctuates, it can be an unavoidable outcome. Most redundancy processes are dehumanising by nature, and can knock the confidence of even the strongest among us. Corporate fatigue combined with an injured ego. Recovery can take a while.

I offer businesses a compassionate coaching package that can be included in any redundancy arrangement. It’s a three session program to support you into your next opportunity. 

Focused on getting the best you into an interview, we’ll work out how you stay centred and on form. We want to find that ease. Your usual charm.

  • Feel (genuinely) fine when talking about how you left your last role

  • Reinforce that strong sense of who you are and what you offer

We’ll even get some interview practice in so you can give yourself a soft launch.

ONE TO ONE COACHING

We all have a story that we tell ourselves, and sometimes that story is nonsense.

Just truly unhelpful. It limits our ability to be happy and content. Inhibits our creativity. Blocks our best ideas.

Through focused conversation we’ll shift you towards a happier, healthier, more honest mindset.  We’ll shake off the burden of “should” (who says you should?!) and get into what you really want, deep down.

Self awareness can be super powerful. Especially when you have big things you want to achieve.

As a duo, we’ll unearth what’s getting in the way of you kicking goals and getting into your flow.

We’ll work out what can grow you out of that stuck position and into alignment with your real self.  No bullsh*t. Wherever that conversation takes us, we’ll go there together.

GROUP COACHING

The wisdom of the crowd - imagine being offered all the unique experiences, ideas, learnings and observations of a small group of generous people. 

Gold dust for providing us with new perspectives, right?

Through facilitated conversation, I play host to a cluster of individuals who tackle one of life’s challenges as a team.  It may be people you know well, or a group of complete strangers. You bring a problem into the space, and we’ll explore it, and have revelations, together.  It’s a great way to give back, and to learn how to receive good things.

Group sessions can be helpful in businesses to get group feedback on strategies and plans, or in personal time, to help solve some of life’s thornier issues.
