Leadership Coaching

When you are good at what you do, the natural progression is promotion, and often you are ‘rewarded’ with a management role which includes leading a team of people – with little or no training. Newly appointed managers and even experienced leaders such as CEOs can find this role overwhelming as they struggle to understand how to behave as a leader – which is where Leadership Coaching can help.

Working one-to-one with a qualified, experienced Leadership Coach provides a safe and confidential space to raise your self-awareness of how best to lead with authenticity, to build a cohesive team, and to ensure that objectives are achieved.

Leadership Coaching is a collaborative, one to one relationship between the coach and the leader. The term ‘leader’ can be applied to an executive, manager, supervisor, team leader or business owner — an individual who is in charge of, or responsible for, a team of people.

Whether your focus is on developing a strategy, building your team or managing change, targeted and confidential conversations with your coach will challenge yet support you, enabling you, your team and organisation, to succeed more easily and effectively.

Coaching is driven by the needs of the leader, although the outcomes may also be defined in conjunction with the leader’s line manager. Coaching is a powerful and tailor made development tool which helps individuals to close the gaps in their leadership skill-set.
