Welcome
I am an executive coach with thirty years’ experience as a CFO, COO and strategy consultant with a particular focus on helping leaders cope with the scrutiny that their roles involve.
Executive coaching is usually offered to leaders to help them with the three “s”s of their business life: stretched, stressed and solitary. However, in my experience, this often overlooks the fourth “s”: scrutinised.
Scrutiny is an ever-growing part of corporate life. It can improve governance, reinforce values, and identify problems. It also affects how people lead and how organisations behave.
I have coached individuals in a range of roles under differing degrees of scrutiny. Thinking through how to act and behave on being promoted to senior roles; being put on partner track; dealing with conflict; being challenged publicly about their actions. This is in addition to the many years of coaching, mentoring and staff development in my previous career.
The people I coach consistently rank me very highly on my ability to really listen and make them feel safe and supported whilst also constructively challenging them. They report being able to think through difficult and emotional issues in a calm way, understand their behaviours and choices and then make better decisions.
