Coaching Beliefs & Methodology
Questions with voltage are more powerful than giving the answer
You have plenty of mentors and advisors providing you with suggestions on how to run your business. What you may lack is a safe space to self-reflect, explore, put issues into perspective and sharpen your leadership skills to match your business goals and growth.
You need a sparring partner
You are a high-performing leader and an expert in what you do. I am an expert in moving you forward. My agenda is insight and behavioral change. Together we co-create a customized learning plan to get you where you want to be.
Leadership is a journey of continuous learning
Being a leader implies having the ability to deal with complexity in an ever evolving world, where humans, technology and organizations interact with one another in often unforeseen ways. The best leaders continuously build muscle in core leadership skills and blind spots.They are a student of leadership, not an achiever of leadership. Coaching is a tool to sharpen your leadership acumen and continuously grow. It is a learning process which is personalized and complementary to other forms of learning such as training or reading.
Data brings clarity and accountability
Harnessing data with 360 Feedback and industry-validated psychometric assessments makes the unconscious conscious through the discovery of blindspots, performance risks and opportunities. Bringing this clarity will help you understand where you are, where you need to go and what skills need to evolve.
Creating a feedback loop is equally important. You want those around you to notice the change. Indeed, ‘better’ isn’t defined by you or us. Better is defined by your co-workers and how you are being perceived.
By taking an evidence-based and data-driven approach, you can confidently commit to challenging yourself in areas that are meaningful to your progress and game-changing to your business. This will ensure both personal and business objectives are met.
Feedback is the lifeblood of change in a complex world. Without a constant diet of data and perspectives from those around them, people are trapped inside their own perspective and the quirks of their own, beautifully human brains. The ability to give and receive feedback, and to organise work and conversations so that feedback is richly available, is a core change capability.
