James Leeper

Executive Coach - Cumbria

Objective: allowing you to lead and live “The Career in Your Life” fruitfully and successfully. UK & International Face-to-face/Online/Groups I am an Executive, Career Management & Change Coach (Life & Spiritual) for personal and leader development; navigating you through the ups and downs, crises and fears of seemingly insurmountable challenges and risks in your change encounter. A CII Connect Mentoring - Mentor (Pro bono) A specialist in neuroscience-based coaching, using the advancing discoveries within neuroscience; revealing the true and real self for personal and leadership development; aiding in career change, lost direction and job suitability; repairing, improving and creating relationships of enduring value at all levels and walks of life • Certified Practitioner with PRISM Brain Mapping® assessing individuals/teams for high performance potential; facilitating in teamworking through the PRISM C.O.P.E. • Positive Intelligence®; mental fitness for positive impact on Performance, Relationships and Wellbeing where our Saboteurs can have such a damaging impact. My clients find the hybrid nature of my coaching so helpful when, e.g: - • seeking to manage and live through their change encounters with positivity; • enabling/enhancing enjoyment in life (work-rest-play) and performance at work; • creating/managing sound relationships, even mending broken ones; • helping in developing positive habits that includes when, without realising [they are] overplaying personal strengths that others perceive as damaging weakness; • managing stress/anxiety positively that moves the root causes from a state of fear and flight to one of excitement and courage in playing to their personal strengths. • Needing a sounding/downloading moment to talk through issues, reviewing, reflecting and reconciling in the moment of the now and how best to approach and resolve them. Leaders find they have a better understanding of the teams they are leading when change brings its own challenges, difficulties and problems. Aspiring individuals discover their “Undiscovered Country” with greater confidence with much less fear of the unknown, learning how to handle the imposter syndrome lurking in the wings ready to pounce. As a dyslexically functional individual, I offer what I can only best describe as my “lateral insight”, through listening, absorbing, evaluating and then reflecting back in a way that leads to possible creative alternative solutions to the issues and problems at hand.
