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
Overwhelmed and stuck in procrastination
Corporate professional woman trying for over a year to get Director promotion. Stuck on overwhelm, unmotivated and in her words, a terrible procrastinator. Through our sessions that we established she was very overcommitted, and lacked confidence in herself.
We refined her schedule, helped her to delegate or remove some of her commitments, and taught her time management techniques.
Our sessions helped her to understand who she was now, in this moment, leave the past behind and step up toward promotion with more confidence and success.
Entrepreneur with impostor syndrome, feeling stuck in fear and self doubt
25yr entrepreneur with a traumatic past, running his own businesses. Lots of ambition but not much practical people management and business experience.
Struggling to see the positives and feeling stuck in self doubt and impostor syndrome. Not confident in his relationship which was impacting everything.
I taught him to scan for good, he said after 1 session “scanning for good has been going really well and I am implementing all the time. And acknowledging that fear and self doubt are just natural has given me a lot of clarity, thank you so much for your wisdom”.
Film industry professional establishing personal brand and stepping into her power
Highly experienced and a technical expert going for a promotion when we met. 11 people went for the job, after several sessions, she got the role.
Our work together started with stepping into a promotion wanting to clarify and establish her personal brand and what she wanted to bring to this position. This has become an ongoing monthly arrangement where we troubleshoot any issue that arises and help her with strategies to make her look good amongst her peers and to her boss.
Since working together she has been asked to present at two conferences and won and done the acceptance speech for a film award.
