Be the leader you know you can be
Coaching for leaders who want to thrive
When you’re on top form, you’re an unstoppable force, so you want to be there more of the time.
If you’re a CEO or Senior Leader who likes to do things differently, you want to push more boundaries and take more risks. But if you feel you’re lacking the space, support or experience to deal with the challenges ahead, it can be difficult to continue to do that confidently. If you feel as though the pace of change in your business is outstripping your leadership skills, keep reading.
Taking time out to reflect on the things that will make a difference is what smart people do. In a world where every conversation matters, I offer an invaluable opportunity to let your guard down and finally SAY IT OUT LOUD. Our sessions will be invigorating, challenging and playful. I’ll push, encourage, reflect and coach, allowing you to shake off whatever is holding you back, and unlock the energy and inner certainty you need to grow and develop as a business leader. The result? A clearer and calmer you.
“I wanted to work with a coach whom I could relate to, who can help me be the best I can be so that I can confidently and effectively work through the challenges that come when establishing a fast growing business. Rebecca is a pleasure to work with, highly competent and every session is added value. I highly recommend her!”
So how does coaching work?
In all honesty, it can be different for everyone. You might need…
The Mirror
It’s lonely at the top, and it’s difficult to know the impact that you have and the perception that you create. You’re a high achiever and you want to do a great job. To do that it’s crucial to understand the shadow you cast on the organisation. I’ll bring along my magic mirror so you can better understand yourself, your perception and the impact of the decisions you make.
The Role Player
With so many important stakeholders, we all need someone we can ‘rehearse’ significant conversations with before they actually happen. As a skilled coach who knows you and your objectives I can do this with an objectivity you won’t find elsewhere.
The Cheerleader
Don’t pretend you don’t miss someone telling you how great you are at your job! It’s one of the biggest complaints I hear from business leaders – everyone assumes that the heights you’ve reached are enough to keep you going – but we all need a (loud and excitable) cheerleader on our side sometimes. You know – the one who remember to text and wish you luck with your big presentation!
The Human Whiteboard
One of the biggest struggles when the stakes are high is that you lose the opportunity to ‘play’ with your ideas. Sometimes you need the opportunity to spool out your myriad thoughts just to be able to make sense of them. Let’s turn those spaghetti thoughts into a clear and compelling vision.
Your growth and development are my primary agenda so I may challenge you or ask you difficult questions to help you reach your goals. It is always your choice how you respond and what actions you take.
The Expert
I would never profess to come close to your unrivalled knowledge of how your business works. But what I can bring is an expert perspective to various elements that are crucial to your business success. Leadership, team engagement, delivering change, strategic planning, team design, development and dynamics are all key areas of expertise. Oh and I’m pretty good at cash flow and spreadsheets too!
The Safe Harbour
How often do you really get to let your guard down without fear of judgement? How often do you get to say what you really (really) feel about the situations you face and people you work with? This is one of the simplest, yet most effective parts of being coached. And I can literally see people lighten as they free themselves of those heavy thoughts and feelings.
We’ll work together to understand where the issues are.
Whether you’re dealing with organisational or personal challenges, the first thing you need is someone who will really listen. We’ll create clarity through deeper insight and cleverly reframe problems to unlock their potential.
We’ll figure out where you want to be and how we get you there.
Using strategic expertise, smart diagnostics and goal setting techniques, we’ll work together to define your overall vision and create a basis for the work we go on to do. Depending on your needs, you may want individual support or a plan to develop the team around you.
I’ll help you implement the changes you want to see.
I can offer a full suite of leadership development workshops as well as 1:1 coaching support. With a focus on leadership impact and results, we’ll work together to move you and your business forward to confidently face the next set of challenges ahead.
You’ll see real change and effective business results.
My focus is on commerciality and a drive for results. I work with clear focus and pace to move you quickly to where you want to be.
