Coaching
I am an experienced leadership coach, and have worked extensively with international Leaders in senior management roles. I have experience in team coaching and individual coaching.
Assessment Coaching:
How often have organizations invested money on expensive valuable assessments for their management teams only to have these individuals be overwhelmed by their report and at a loss of what to focus on and where to start?
I am experienced with numerous 360 degree feedback assessments and able to bring clarity and commitment with the coachee so that they take ownership and action with their assessment report instead of tucking their assessment report away in their drawer.
My approach is about being optimistic, candid and encouraging about the potential for concrete change. A keen observer, I can identify and address those behavioural soft spots that are holding Leaders back from achieving impact in their work goals.
