Leadership Coaching
Whether we hold a C-Suite, Director or Function Leadership position, investing time in creating clarity, direction and growth for ourselves, or our people can be life changing.
Leadership coaching can increase our self-awareness, shine light on blind spots and increase our emotional intelligence. If people management or difficult individuals are creating more stress than we have time for, its worth considering a new approach.
I help Leaders to demonstrate their value even more impactfully, by reframing old beliefs, providing strategies for confidence and connection. And practical tips and tools to help you look good!
Key challenges I help resolve:
Demonstrating your value to your boss, peers and people you manage. To lead confidently and fairly and hold your own whoever you need to have hard conversations with.
Managing the often overwhelming range of people and/or system management challenges that make up a normal day/week in your leadership role.
Firefighting and staying calm as well as working on your own KPIs alongside others to achieve their goals.
To lead by example, to inspire and motivate your people because you are inspired and motivated yourself.
To provide the right strategies to anyone going for a promotion or moving into a leadership role, perhaps from a more technical or system based position with little or no people management training.
To manage overwhelm and procrastination so everything is delivered on time with less stress. New strategies or an overhaul of your current processes can create big changes to how we deliver.
Time management! Every week I meet someone in a Leadership role who isn't planning ahead, blocking time, ensuring they take their breaks and work reasonable hours...and leave work at work.
I promise to encourage and inspire you. To keep you accountable, and to push you beyond your comfort zone when you need it.
How it works:
We start with a free 30-minute introductory chat to see if we are a good fit. Prior to this session, I will email you some questions to help you establish the most important priority for you. Where do you need most change or the biggest shift?
Book a single 60 minute Leadership and Life session or a 45 minute Life Coaching session. Or go ahead and book a Block of 5 (for a discounted rate). Sessions can be taken weekly, fortnightly or monthly. I offer in-person (Wellington only) or online sessions.
The first session will focus on your background, challenges and priorities. Subsequent sessions, we will cover off anything that has occurred (in life or work) and requires a solution immediately. Plus ongoing work and progress on agreed actions from previous session or sessions.
Accountability partner: This is a gamechanger!
You will receive a consolidated summary of points discussed as an email.
This notes key actions and considerations, plus my observations and insights. It helps keep you accountable. You can use this to keep on track with you weekly or fortnightly actions.
We will review and discuss required and outstanding actions during our next session.

Some recent success stories
Cherylyn - GM, Healthcare Provider
"Life-Changing. I have found the authentic ME! Vicky's unwavering support, knowledge, expertise, and accountability have helped immensely! I had withdrawn and developed an unhealthy view of myself as unworthy, a fraud (impostor syndrome), and lacking confidence.
This non-serving mindset changed after our first coaching session and continues to grow/develop as we work towards the end goal. It's been a journey, but I now belong at the Senior Leadership meeting table! Thank you, Vicky."
Tanya - Senior Leader Government agency
"Vicky (via Leadership and Life Coaching sessions) has been instrumental in helping transform the way I see myself. I thought a leadership/life coach would 'teach' me how to be better organised, better at giving and receiving feedback, completing important work I usually avoid.
Vicky has helped me realise I already have skills, abilities and the tenacity to make changes I'd convinced myself that I couldn't. This has been transformative. When I forget to use the strategy or approach - I don't beat myself up about it, because I know I 'can'.
Overall a whole lot happier, confident and enjoying life/work balance. It's like magic or a Jedi-mind trick!"
Turi - Senior Design Lead
"I had the great fortune of meeting Vicky. I have enjoyed working with her through five excellent coaching sessions. With her help I have made some ‘good and big’ decisions and I feel much better for it.
Vicky is an excellent, and sharp active listener, with a hugely positive outlook. I highly recommend her and her brilliant coaching services."
