Executive coaching to help deal with big challenges or difficult people at work
My Take on Resilience: Community & Flexibility
Join me as I share my personal insights on resilience – how community and flexibility empower us to bounce back.
Your Work is Important
Work should be a place where people can find meaning and connection and come together to create great products and services. To do things that we couldn’t easily do on our own. And that is what can make businesses and other organisations so successful.
But work can also be a big challenge in a good way and when things aren’t going right or if we’re facing a situation that stretches us.
So be at your Best
Given how much of our lives it represents, and what’s possible when things are going well, we should make the most of our work. Make it somewhere that we can be at our best. For that reason, my coaching is about understanding, lifting and championing people at work.
Please read on to discover more about when that might be useful.
Coaching for a Challenging Situation at Work
A dynamic programme of one-to-one coaching for leaders and managers who want to:
- Discover and deal with the right kind of exciting challenge or opportunity – and who sometimes have self-doubt, lose confidence or even sabotage themselves.
- Be recognised properly and find where they can best contribute – and who sometimes feel held back, overlooked or stuck.
- Forge good working relationships – and who can sometime find others to be exceptionally difficult, or even hit an interpersonal rough-patch themselves.
Coaching for Difficult People at Work
You’re a leader or Human Resources professional with responsibility for someone who has become too difficult, negative or challenging at work. This is having an impact on outcomes and on other people.
You’re interested in offering them some friendly, fearless and effective development support. And you want to do this in a positive way, that balances the needs of the individual with the needs of the organisation.

Publications
I’ve written a couple of small ‘eBooklets’ both available on Amazon. This is really just to cover some of the management and leadership issues that are most often behind the problems my coaching clients experience at work.
I may build on these over time, as there’s at least three or four other topics that could be helpful.
Currently my writing focus is on a full-scale book, to be published by Pearson in the autumn of 2023 and I’ll update progress on that as it goes.
