Methodology

Integrated Transformational Master Level Coaching.

In today's dynamic leadership landscape, three core challenges stand out.

Learn to tackle these challenges head-on and realise your full potential.

01

Self Mastery

Leadership is more than a title; it's about finding your authentic voice and inspiring others into action.

Unearth your leadership personality, receive nuanced psychologically informed feedback and shape your leadership reputation.

Become a leader with

  • commanding executive presence
  • crystal clear messaging
  • unwavering integrity
Self mastery — executive presence

02

Relationship Mastery

In the world of business, relationships are the bedrock of success.

I'll arm you with the latest thinking in relationship science to decode motivations, understand group dynamics and navigate stakeholder negotiations.

Become a leader who masterfully

  • navigates complex relationships
  • fosters strong collaboration
  • influences culture & performance
Relationship mastery — group dynamics and stakeholder negotiation

03

Strategic Mastery

In an era of constant change, leaders need a sanctuary free from bias to tackle complex problems, strategise and prioritise.

Enjoy a confidential high-quality thinking space to lay out inputs and expertly recalibrate them in line with your vision and strategy.

Advance your skills to

  • demonstrate exceptional reasoning
  • anticipate challenges
  • deliver on innovation, strategy and execution
Strategic mastery — clarity, prioritisation and execution
A close working partnership

I enjoy a close working partnership with a select group of senior leaders.

  • Overcome leadership challenges.
  • Develop clarity and confidence.
  • Expand your options and influence.

Coaching process

Three stages. One conversation at a time.

Stage 01

Discovery

Briefing

In this initial consultation, we'll identify your key challenges and objectives for leadership development. I'll help you map and contextualise your growth goals according to best-practice leadership traits that improve business performance, team engagement, personal satisfaction and resilience.

Chemistry Check

I meet you for an initial 30-minute conversation to answer your questions, learn more about you and your goals and share a little about my approach. Most importantly, we will see if we get along and are a good fit to work together.

Assessment and Goal Setting

At the outset, we look at what success looks like for you and, if relevant, for your organisation or leader. We choose one to three key objectives that will deliver maximum impact on your leadership performance and personal satisfaction. We may choose to interview key stakeholders or use 360 instruments to assess your current leadership reputation.

Stage 02

Development

Coaching Sessions

We meet over an agreed 4 to 6-month period, initially weekly or fortnightly, to work through the three levels of self-mastery, relationship mastery and strategic mastery. As we progress, we may shift to monthly sessions.

Stage 03

Review Outcomes

Here we will together assess your achievements and any remaining challenges. We may also seek views from your key stakeholders or coaching sponsors. Leadership is in part about your reputation, so others' perceptions are key for an accurate assessment of your development.

Next Steps

Most leaders find enormous benefits in personalised coaching. Subject to your goals and (your organisation's) budget, we may contract for a further period of coaching. I work with a number of C-Suite executives and CEOs on an ongoing basis to ensure sustainable high-level performance, satisfaction and wellness.
