Executive Coaching

"Helping others to make connections between authentic behaviours and management practice, enabling them to build a knowledge bank, 

which effectively inspires others so as they want to 

engage in shared aspirations"

Many managers are promoted to their first managerial position by being technically good at what they do, 

i.e. best performer - promoted to manager, which often means they have little understanding of managing people. 

The skill of managing people is an essential ingredient to success for any organisation. 

Consistent research suggests, that the most common reason people will leave a job, 

is not the nature of the work itself but rather the way they were managed.  

Therefore, investing in developing any organisations management capability is essential to it's success. 

Otherwise how does any manager enhance their management practice so as to ensure it is as effective as it can be?  

Our wealth of experience in developing managers means we can offer, a working understanding of several differing coaching approaches such as:

- solution focused 
- person centred  
- psychodynamic
- cognitive behavioural
- positive psychological
- neuro lingustic programming
- skills and performance
- developmental 
- transformational 
- gestallt

Our Approach

Understand yourself

Understanding yourself is the start of effective management. Knowing what drives you and how others perceive you is essential for great management. Investing time and energy in developing your sense of self,  your emotional intelligence and management philosophy, is the starting point for a life time of managerial success.

Understand others

The key to management is getting results through others.  As a manager you need to have developed a keen sense of "people".  Interacting with others successfully requires behavioural flexibility. In this way managers can get the very best out of their teams

Understand your shadow

Ensuring who you think you are is the same as who your people think you are, is a foundation for successful management. 

The shadow you cast will mean you brighten a room on entering it, 

as opposed to leaving it.
