Diana Gibbs

Performance Coach - Suffolk, Essex and London

Did you know that 82% of managers who enter management positions have not had any formal management and leadership training?

“These are individuals who are promoted to run a team simply because they are popular, good at their job, or happen to be available to take charge. We know what can happen next. Within weeks, productivity and team spirit plummet as the new boss finds themselves out of their depth.... They are accidental managers” says a CMI Report: ‘Taking Responsibility - why UK plc needs better managers.’ October 2023

Does this sound familiar?

Do you have managers in your company or organisation needing support to cope with the messy day to day reality of managing the people who now report to them?

If so you’ve come to the right place. I was once thrown in at the deep end, and now have over 20 years' experience of coaching others to bridge the gap between HR policy and everyday operational performance. Please see my LinkedIn profile to learn more about how I can help. I’d love to hear from you.
