LEADERSHIP Coaching

Creative Coaching with Compassion & Empathy for Yourself and Others

WHY CONSIDER COACHING?

Coaching is increasingly being considered an important aspect of professional development – a quick web search will back this up.

Coaching more than just asking questions and reflecting. Coaching skills involve active listening, encouraging greater communication, awareness creation, goal setting, action planning, and accountability. These are accomplished through conversation and supportive guidance, followed by action and then reflection in order to create growth.

There is a cyclical process of asking questions, observing and unpacking responses, creating points for action, which will lead to either success or further challenges, which prompts further questions

Don’t be concerned – there is a limit to this. Once we hit the deeply insightful and powerful prompts we can build on those to create a plan to refresh your outlook on life and business. Once we understand what you really want, that where can truly start on the new story for you.

On offer is not simply “life” coaching

It’s impossible to separate life from work and often difficult to leave work out of life.

What I offer is a hybrid blend of coaching to ensure you get what you want from working with me.

Our work together will not be limited to scheduled sessions. You will be able to contact me as and when you wish to discuss any more immediate relevant challenges.

You will leave with self-sustainable tools to use to achieve your goals. What I don’t want is for you to feel inspired to make change in sessions only to stumble over obstacles back in your world and feel frustrated.

You will also receive a full Lumina Leader Portrait which will uncover four aspects of your personal leading style:

• Leading with Vision
• Leading through people
• Leading to Deliver
• Leading with Drive

This helps both of us work out what your strengths are and where there are areas to develop. This forms the foundation of the coaching you will receive.

LIBERATE GREAT LEADERSHIP through human to human understanding

Leadership coaching is a co-created process

I will not tell you how to solve your issues or give you a predetermined blueprint to reach your goals. In doing the work: asking questions, observing and exploring responses, exploring the issues, examining your organisational and behavioural systems and patterns, and reflecting on the roles you play in your story – this is where actual transformation can start to occur.

Understand your self (yes, two words – your self) and those you lead: you hold your greatest resources within you and I look forward to helping you to uncover and utilise those resources to help you guide yourself to the best outcomes for you, your teams and your business.

Search for different, more consciously creative ways for leaders and organisations to fulfil the promise and potential of their purpose on their own terms

What leading others is essentially about

Leadership is about getting the best from your people and teams. Great leaders have a significant impact on individual performance and group performance to elicit successful organisational performance utilising high emotional intelligence. The four aspects of leading which your Lumina Leader Portrait will uncover are:

• Leading with Vision
• Leading through people
• Leading to Deliver
• Leading with Drive

Create a great place to work where goals are achieved, people’s talents tapped into, diversity is welcomed and everyone’s contribution valued is at the heart of inspirational and effective leadership

COACHING WITH ME

My clients have included start-up founders, corporate Directors, senior leaders, Project Managers. From creatives to pragmatic programmers strong minded people, visionary people and also those of a more quiet, introverted, cautious and/or sensitive nature from organisations of a range of sizes.

My coaching approach is practical, yet humanistic, reflective, supportive yet challenging.

You will receive a professional, personal coaching service whilst helping you to understand the threats and opportunities to running a successful business.

I won’t just make myself available during scheduled sessions, but you will have access to my coaching and perspective between sessions as and when you feel you could do with exploring a question or challenge as it arises with someone not “in the loop”.

I want you succeed and want to help you learn how to think with a different perspective.

My coaching methodology utilises the ever popular and easy to understand GROW model:

• • • Start with what you want – your Goals
    • Look at your Reality – your current circumstances taking into account personal and professional environment
    • Discuss the Opportunities for change and create effective action points and strategies to instil that change
    • Acknowledge and relish with “Wins”, the successes you have however big or small – something which is easy to forget to savour

I am a qualified NLP Practitioner and a qualified Lumina Learning Practitioner for individual Spark Portraits, Leader Portraits, Sales Portraits and Team Portraits (which collate Spark Portraits into a team personality – learn more on the Team Coaching page)

I can pull on NLP, CBT and a range of other sources as well as my own perspectives to be your trusted advisor and guide to success on your own terms

If you are reading this, and it resonates with you then book a call with me to decide whether we are a good fit for your needs

Have an idea of what you want to change and why. If you feel stuck on that, then I can still help you discover the shifts you need on that quick call.
