What is the role of a coach?

A professional coach is a catalyst for performance and professional growth.

The results coaching can deliver

This varies widely from one client to the next, depending on the goals set and the effort put in to achieving them by the coachee. For our longer coaching assignments, we have a measurement methodology to take stock of the coachee starting point and measuring change over time.

Typically, coaching can be expected to deliver positive change in areas such as behaviour at work, leadership capability, influence, commercial performance, engagement and satisfaction at work, and clarity on goals, aspirations and development. Rest assured, we’re committed to delivering results.

Our coaching services include: Founder & Executive Coaching

Founder coaching partnerships

We know that the founder journey is littered with challenges – from fundraising to leading people to co-founder relationship grumbles and many more.

Every founder’s needs are different but some of the key areas we focus on include –

Coaching for leadership capabilities – sharing tools and models that might help everyday
Being an independent sounding board – a critical friend, supporting and challenging in equal measure (and giving the feedback that no-one else will)
Advising on people, organisation and culture – approaches, options and implications
Mentoring with advice or connecting you with other trusted people that have had the same experience
Observation in real life – giving you feedback on how we see you show up with your team
Facilitating your leadership team to work together, holding the space for the real conversations to unlock their collective performance
Mediating to resolve conflict or tension between co-founders or between you and specific team members (or bringing in a professional mediator to support

One-to-one executive coaching

Executive coaching is effective for…

Senior leaders wanting to develop their leadership capabilities e.g. impact, influence, behaviours, relationships, strategic thinking,
New appointees to critical roles, or returners from leave – enabling them to transition and embed to their role
Managers and leaders wishing to get comprehensive feedback on their capabilities and development needs – through 360 and 180 feedback and deep developmental debriefs
Talent who may have lost a sense of professional / career direction

Coaching clinics

Are effective for organisations wishing to offer short term coaching support to a broader range of staff.

We offer a ‘coaching clinic’ approach, whereby an individual qualified coach would work with multiple staff members over the course of a day at your premises or online. We also often offer coaching clinics to accompany our other development programmes – supporting the further embedding of skills, capabilities and mindset.

Our coaching packages are flexible to suit the coaching goals, budget, style and level of the coachee. We work to match the coach with the coachee carefully and evaluate the impact of the coaching on results. We only work with fully qualified coaches, who are in regular supervision and committed to their continuing professional development and growth.
