Executive coaching to help deal with big challenges, tough teams, or difficult people at work
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.
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.
This dynamic programme is designed for leaders and managers who find themselves in challenging situations at work or are looking to make the most of demanding and exciting opportunities.
Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, aiming to enhance working relationships, or seeking to make a meaningful impact in your organisation, this programme is tailored to help you overcome hurdles and confidently take your next steps.
It can be commissioned by individual leaders and managers for themselves or by leaders and Human Resources professionals in support of their colleagues.
This programme is designed for senior leadership teams who are not quite firing on all cylinders. Teams facing demanding opportunities and significant risks and who need to pull together at their best.
If your senior leadership team is dealing with tensions, rapidly shifting goal posts, or just not making the progress it should be, this programme will tackle the six ‘must-do’ areas that build strong relationships, focus attention and give leaders the confidence to deliver together. Suitable for senior leadership teams of up to 10 people. Must include the CEO, Managing Director or equivalent.
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.
