The world of work is rapidly evolving and this isn’t going to change.
Organisations are complex human systems and we need to give leaders a new level of understanding about how the brain and body work together to perform.
This is how to build organisations with cultures that are strong, adaptable and create meaningful outcomes for their people, customers/clients and stakeholders.
At the most simplistic level, teams and individuals who use these techniques to reduce stress, build confidence and stay resilient under pressure will be successful. They can think clearly, manage their energy and have conversations that create trust and drive innovation. This is essential for high performance.
Every organisation will use this insight and coaching in different ways. I work with organisations to design an approach that delivers value for your organisation. Importantly, the design is tailored to your business goals. I’ve experienced the positive impact this can have on organisations - whether they are a mature established organisation or a growing progressive people first organisation.
There is no one size fits all approach, I help you create the approach that’s right for your organisation. One that is aligned to your business goals.
This can include:
Building a performance culture, with coaching at its core
Developing your Leaders to give them tools to manage their own performance and have coaching style conversations with their teams to unlock creativity and better ways of working
Team Coaching – for new teams, developing existing teams and special project teams
Internal Coach Network – I’m the founder and host of a membership community of coaches who work in organisations building coaching cultures. They come together to learn, collaborate around problems and connect across different sectors. Read more about that here.
Organisations who have coaching cultures:
See a median of 700% on their ROI on coaching
2.5x more likely to be made the ‘Best Places to Work’
Have a 32% improvement in effective implementation of longer term strategic goals
21% increase in innovation
14% improvement in problem solving speeds
28% less turnover of staff
Organisations that invest in training as a spark get 22% increase in productivity but by adding coaching too, you can get an 88% increase in productivity
Connecting Individual and Organisational Transformation
I work where the person and the organisation meet. I’m the bridge.
This is when people transform and organisations evolve. My work helps individuals live lives fully in complex and dynamic environments. It strengthens organisations so they can create the conditions where thriving becomes the norm.
A stronger individual strengthens the organisation. A healthier organisation strengthens the individual.
I am the bridge that makes both these possible.
What I do
I spent years as a Director of Talent and Organisational Development, building coaching cultures from the inside. I know what it takes to embed coaching into how a business actually works. This is not about parking coaching in L&D and hoping it will deliver business impact. Coaching needs to be used strategically and aligned to organisational goals. I work with organisations in four main ways:
Executive & Leadership coaching for the moments where coaching has the biggest individual impact — stretch assignments, step-ups, transitions, complexity.
Team coaching for new teams, teams under pressure, and teams that have grown faster than their ways of working.
Building a coaching culture starting by identifying what the strategic business problem is to solve and then designing and embedding the systems, capability and behaviours that make coaching part of how the business runs.
Supporting your internal coaches through the Internal Coach Network, the membership community I founded in 2018 for coaches working inside organisations.
I work with organisations across the UK and internationally. My home patch is Leeds and the North of England.
