In society it tends to be viewed that an organisation exists as an individual being. An entity in it’s own right. Such is the power of branding and marketing nowadays the company successfully and quite rightly takes on it’s own persona.
When, however you strip it back this is simply not the case. An organisation is a living, breathing body comprising of many different personalities and energies. Much like a human body it only takes one part of this body to be misfiring or communications to be strained and confused for the body to begin a slow decline in to ill health and dysfunction.
Strong leadership and team understanding are essential in ensuring that these imbalances don’t occur and that the living breathing soul of the organisation is kept running smoothly. In order for this to be achieved it is essential that all members have a strong solid understanding of their role within the mechanics.
Understanding yourself as a leader alongside the dynamics of your team is essential to achieving this. Whilst a lot of Executive Coaching is centred around single focused goal setting I believe that in order to maximise peoples performance an understanding of the person as a whole needs to be acquired.
Leadership brings very specific challenges and the one thing that I have learnt throughout my years as an Executive Coach is that no matter what level of success a client has reached or what title they hold on their business card they still face the same human vulnerabilities and fears as anyone else.
When you are the person that employees look to for solutions the pressure to appear invincible and lacking in vulnerability can feel high. Being heard and understood is a basic human requirement and one that within the right coaching environment can be achieved with great success. This will result in productive business and life changing outcomes.
Integrated Approach
The patterns of behaviours that we play out at work will without doubt be patterns that also play out in our home and social lives. Helping people to understand themselves as a whole and recognise these connections can bring substantial benefits not only to the work environment but also to the persons well being as a whole. The productivity of a happy rounded individual who has gained an overall understanding of themselves and the impact of their interactions is of considerable more benefit to a company than an individual that has purely focused on achieving one specific goal.
My own personal experience of different stages within organisations provides me with a comprehensive knowledge and appreciation of the challenges that are regularly faced within companies. Helping to successfully resolve these is something that I take great pride in having achieved within a number of different organisations over the years.
f you are a company that requires support or guidance with a specific area of your team I would be really happy to meet to discuss ways that we could work together. Your team is as unique as your business so talking through options is always a positive first step. I provide a variety of solutions from working on a One to One basis, three way discussion groups and full Team Workshops. The important thing is identifying the right solution that will enable your organisation to perform as smoothly and effectively as possible.
Alternatively if you are an individual facing challenges within the work place or you find yourself stuck in a career rut I can offer one to one coaching that will help to identify the areas that are causing you to become “stuck”.
I use an integrative approach in my work and use a number of different psychological and holistic models including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and NLP among others.
It is not a one size fits all solution. For me it is about working with you as an individual to unlock the barriers that have so far kept you stuck in patterns of behaviour or circumstances that are now not necessarily serving yourself or your organisation well.
Contact Me
If you would like to discuss the possibility of working together please do give me a call or drop me an email. I would love to have a chat with you and give you the opportunity to explore whether this is the right direction for your business.
Fees
Business fees will be discussed upon initial contact.
Location
I work from a location based in central Hitchin, Hertfordshire. This is easily accessible from both the M1, A1M and M25 with a number of parking options close by. I understand and appreciate that people lead busy lives so alongside this facility I visit organisations around the country to work with themselves and their employees.
Call Me
My main focus is centred on helping you to make the desired changes in your life so it is imperative to me that you feel confident that I am the right person for you. Sometimes a simple chat over the phone is the best way to establish this. As a reinforcement to this I will also always offer an introductory “chemistry” meeting at a slightly reduced rate. This is a good opportunity to meet and discuss your desired outcomes and whether this is something that I can help with.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Any questions in the meantime please do use the form below.
