Executive Coaching

Accelerate your journey to leadership excellence and become a well-rounded leader through coaching.

Coaching is the most effective intervention when it comes to expanding your current leadership skills and flexibility.The key to becoming a well-rounded and highly effective leader is to add to your existing emotional competencies. For example, if you are currently adept at being directive or pace-setting in your leadership, you will probably struggle with being affiliative or democratic. Similarly, if you good at being visionary and democratic, you may struggle with being directive when required.

Coaching will help you develop currently underused leadership styles and behaviours that could make you a more effective and well-regarded leader. The complexity and constant change in modern organisations require leaders to step out of their comfort zone and display leadership styles and emotional competencies that don't come naturally to you. Most of us develop one or two 'favoured' leadership styles early in our career. Stretching ourselves beyond those favoured styles requires expanding your emotional intelligence and this is best achieved through a coach who explains where and how to start and then provides consistent feedback as you try out new behaviours.

We use a behavioural coaching model, so the feedback you get is not only around what you say, but what you do. We will likely observe you 'in action' and set you challenges for testing out new behaviours. Initially this will probably feel a bit uncomfortable, but then again the aim includes taking you out of your comfort zone and stretching you so that you can achieve flexibility and eventually mastery. Because we are working with your emotional (reptilian) brain, developing new emotional competencies will typically take 3-6 months.

Wat is unique about the way we coach is that we coach 2-on-1. We have found that this works very well for us and our clients. Because one of us is always available to watch, nothing gets missed in the coaching process and you get high quality feedback in the moment. We are both trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming, DiSC, Human Synergistics LSI and we have a sound grasp of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. With over 15 years experience in coaching leaders at all levels, you can be confident that we will be able to propel you towards leadership excellence.
