Is it difficult to find space for strategic thinking and get clarity on challenges in your business?
Are you feeling stuck because you don’t have anyone independent to talk to?
Do you have a complex communication strategy you need help with in your business?
Work with me to boost your confidence and leadership effectiveness with my
Coaching for Business Leaders and Executives package.
Who it’s for:
Executives and Business Leaders who want ongoing coaching for accountability and support.
What’s included:
Ongoing virtual coaching sessions (a minimum of six sessions), tailored around you and your needs. Whether you want to get clarity on your strategy, talk through scenarios to reach a decision, manage your mindset or need help with communication strategy, I can build a coaching programme to support your unique goals.
(In person sessions can also be arranged on request).
As a leader, you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. You can’t talk to your team about any doubts or challenges, and your family and friends don’t understand. Coaching gives you a safe, non-judgemental space for you to think clearly and move forward.
The first step to becoming a more effective leader, is understanding yourself. When we start working together I ask you to complete a personality profile and values questionnaire, which can help you to understand your decision making process and mindset better.
We all carry round a set of beliefs to help us make sense of the world. Sometimes these are helpful, sometimes they’re not, but it’s difficult for you to see them yourself. Working with a coach gives you the chance to uncover the invisible beliefs that may be holding you back.
In our first session we agree 2-3 overarching goals (measurable) goals you want to achieve over the course of our coaching sessions together.During each coaching session we come up with smaller actions for you to take away and complete, to support your longer term goals. I can keep you accountable and on track with those goals, as well as suggesting tools to help you. During these sessions I may also challenge you if I feel something is holding you back.At the end of the coaching sessions we reflect on your progress and you may decide to reset your goals and book additional coaching sessions.Coaching for Business Leaders and Executives is for anyone in a leadership role who’d like to become more effective in their role and find more clarity to help them make better decisions.
Coaching is flexible to your needs, but here are some real life examples of where coaching can benefit you as a business leader:
This will depend on what your coaching goals are, but you can expect to make significant progress on 2-3 goals that are a priority for you within 6 coaching sessions.
Most people I work with are surprised when they look back and see how much progress they’ve made, and how much clearer they are as a result of the coaching sessions.
I usually carry out all the coaching sessions online on Zoom.
Face to face coaching sessions can also be arranged (with enough notice and travel expenses). It’s something that can be discussed on our initial call if this is important to you.
You’ll need to be available for a minimum of six hours for your coaching sessions. You’ll also need to spend time between each session completing your coaching actions.
This will depend on your goals and what comes out of your sessions, but it could be around an extra hour between coaching sessions.
Business Leader Coaching can help you achieve your goals because:
It gives you a safe and supportive space to think clearly (one of the most important factors in coming up with great ideas, according to Nancy Kline in her book, ‘Time to Think.’
Talking things out loud can help you access your subconscious mind, and get clarity on limiting thoughts and beliefs that may have held you back as a business leader without you realising.
Your coaching sessions might be the only place you truly have the chance to be honest about your work/business, what’s going on and how you feel about it, without fear of judgement or repercussions.
It forces you to focus on what’s important to achieving your goals as a business leader and not get distracted.
It gives you access to a coach who’s highly skilled in asking the right questions and suggesting useful tools to help give you clarity.
It keeps you accountable to following through on your actions and making progress, so you can grow as a business leader.
I usually advise coaching sessions take place at least monthly, as it’s important to keep the momentum going.
However, if you want to make progress more quickly and have the time to complete your actions between the sessions, I can often accommodate fortnightly or even weekly sessions, depending on what you need.
What we cover in your coaching sessions is completely unique to you and what you want to achieve, but here’s the framework I use:
In our first session we agree 2-3 overarching goals (measurable) goals you want to achieve over the course of our coaching sessions together.
During each subsequent coaching session we go through your progress, explore how your situation has changed, and then come up with your next set of actions for you to take away and complete, towards your overarching goals.
I keep you accountable and on track with those goals, as well as suggesting tools to help you. During these coaching sessions I may also challenge you if I feel something is holding you back.
At the end of six coaching sessions we reflect on your progress and you may decide to reset your goals and book additional sessions.
Absolutely! Once I’ve worked with a business leader and they see how powerful coaching is, they often ask me to work with other members of their team. Which is great, as working with different members of your team helps me to understand the overall context of your business better.
You can also be sure that nothing disclosed in sessions will be shared with anyone else. As a qualified ILM level 7 Coach and Mentor I abide by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)’s guidelines – and can guarantee that everything discussed within my coaching sessions stays confidential.
This means you can share your thoughts with confidence and be completely open (and means you’ll get more out of the coaching experience).
Yes. I can carry out coaching sessions (subject to travel expenses) in person, if we decide this is the most effective option for you.
However, usually the virtual sessions work well and there’s no need to do a face to face session (which can be less cost effective and more difficult to schedule in).
If you are interested in this option, let me know on our initial chat and we can work out the options together.
