MY COACHING APPROACH
Coaching approach
Leaders get promoted for what they do well. The role then changes, and the same behaviours stop working. I coach leaders and aspiring leaders through that change.
HOW I COACH
Four steps from awareness to action.
Every engagement follows the same four steps. Each one looks at two things: the situation you bring, and you in that situation.
The aim isn't to fix one problem. It's to build awareness and options you can reuse, so the next similar situation goes better without me.
- 01
Awareness
Notice the patterns.
Together we build deep awareness of who you are, how you act in the situation, and the situation itself. The goal is to uncover your blind spots.
- 02
Reconsideration
Challenge the assumptions.
Questions, exercises and examples that interrupt your usual way of thinking and operating. They let you look at the situation from other angles and choose the ones that work for you.
- 03
Discovery
See new possibilities.
We look at the situation and your strengths, your values, what you enjoy and what gets in your way. You will find options you couldn't see before.
- 04
Action
Move with intention.
We turn insight into a plan: what you'll do differently, what could get in the way, what support you need and who holds you accountable. You act, then bring back what you learned.
What I believe
Nothing is wrong with you.
You carry beliefs, assumptions and habits that worked before. Now the same beliefs, assumptions and habits limit you.
You know your situation better than I do.
Advice from outside misses your context and weakens your confidence to decide and act.
How I work
What I do
- You bring the agenda and lead the conversation. I provide structure, questions and observations that build your awareness of what drives your decisions.
- If I have information that could help, I offer it once, with no expectation that you use it.
- You leave each session with an action. About 20% of the change happens in the session. The other 80% happens when you act.
What I don't do
- Advise
- Instruct
- Consult
- Provide therapy
If you need one of those, I will tell you and refer you.
How the engagement works
- 1Chemistry call
We review how I work, you ask questions, and we decide whether we're a good fit.
- 2First session
We agree your goal and how you will measure progress.
- 3Working sessions
You set the agenda. Each session starts from the action you took.
- 4Final session
We review progress against your measures and agree what happens next.
Either of us can stop early if there is no progress. Any refund follows our coaching contract.
Confidentiality and ethics
Everything you share is confidential, except where there is serious risk of harm or the law requires disclosure. I take part in regular professional supervision and never share your name or identifying details there. My practice follows the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics.
Start with a chemistry call.
A short, no-commitment conversation to explore what's happening for you and whether we're a good fit.
