Executive Coaching

I work with leaders to help them progress their most important issues in today’s volatile world, so that with increased confidence and creativity they can overcome challenges and realise opportunities in new ways that feel completely right to them.

Having successfully coached, facilitated, and trained 100’s of leaders (both nationally and internationally) for many brands across different sectors for over fourteen years I invite you to contact me for an exploratory conversation to find out more about how I might assist you.

What leaders want from Executive Coaching (29 questions leaders frequently face)

I am often asked “What subjects do Executives bring to coaching”?

I have just completed a thematic review of over 150 leaders (2020) I have coached or facilitated in the past five years. The themes and questions that emerged are below:

  1. How do I lead through this crisis?
  2. How do I adapt my leadership for a VUCA* world? (Volatile, Uncertain, Ambiguous, Complex*)
  3. I have my own vision and plan but how do I create a shared vision and strategy?
  4. How do I turn my ideas into a compelling vision for others?
  5. How do I successfully lead my new team/remote team/regional team/global team?
  6. How can I give effective feedback?
  7. I have a difficult decision to make and both options I can see are terrible….I feel stuck…
  1. How do I get my team pulling together?

With Twelve a quality coaching process

With every coaching assignment clients can expect…

  • The co-creation of written goals and success criteria for each topic raised-so as to be able to define success and measure progress to the results along the way
  • Face to face, video or telephone sessions as preferred for 90 minutes-typically six in number spread over weeks or months depending on the issue
  • Follow up work and ideas to implement between coaching sessions
  • Starting, middle and ending progress reviews and evaluation throughout the coaching process for both the client and their line manager (where appropriate).
  • Final evaluation and provision of further development plan where required
