Executive Leadership Coach in London

The leadership coach for ambitious executives

There are coaches that coach leaders how to become one without ever being a leader themselves. 

Well, I am not one of those.

ABOUT

Straight talking coaching, leveraging 30+ years first hand leadership experience at FTSE 100.

I jokingly tell my daughter, "I have seen it all". Well, maybe not all - but I have seen quite a lot! - and I am here to help you:

  • grow into the shoes of a new role

  • unblock the road to a highly successful career

  • kindle the spirit of impactful leadership

The idea is to help you unlock what you already have

While this seems like a mere oversimplification of a really complex journey, this is a fact.

 

The journey to become a true leader is a deliberate process of professional and personal development. It is about honing your personal strengths, overcoming limiting beliefs and working towards a goal that extends beyond yourself.

 

I have led cross functional teams locally and globally – connecting with many technical colleagues and experts.

 

My greatest joy is working with ambitious executives as they grow to become successful and great leaders.

 

By walking alongside them and providing carefully selected tools accumulated over many years of experience, I have witnessed incredible transformations as they:

 

  • Flourish in their new roles

  • Exude confidence that seems natural

  • Become the type of leaders they themselves would admire

  • Positively impact the lives of others

 

This can be you in a relatively short period of time.

What is Executive Leadership Coaching?

So you want to be a rockstar leader  - an inspirational leader?

You've heard the buzzword "Executive Leadership Coaching" talked about in board meetings or between C-suite executives, and you're thinking, "what's this about?", "is it for me?"

 

Let me break it down for you.

Unpacking the Buzzwords

In the ever-evolving business world, coaching has seen a meteoric rise, but not all coaching is the same. There's career coaching, business coaching, performance coaching, life coaching and then there's executive and leadership coaching. 

While other forms focus on specific aspects like your career, or your outside work life, Executive Leadership Coaching is like the deluxe package—holistic, career-oriented, and strategically tailored for you, the leader.

The Who, The What, and The Why?

Designed mainly for senior leaders, senior executives, and C-suite executives, Executive Leadership Coaching takes a holistic approach - looking at your leadership in the round   - your leadership skills, leadership roles, leadership style, you name it. But don't get it confused. 

 

Leadership isn't just about strategic planning or team morale. It's also about you—your self-awareness, emotional intelligence, building confidence,  communication skills, and so much more.

 

The right Executive Leadership Coach is as much about chemistry if you  'click' or not. A good one is not just mechanical, they are more like your "Professional Journey Buddy".  We take into account your whole self - acknowledging that's who you bring to work each day.

 

Their role isn't to give you the answers but to guide you through a rigorous process. Whether it's one-on-one individual coaching or coaching sessions that are part of a broader executive coaching program, the goal is meaningful change.

Nitty-Gritty: The Coaching Relationship & Process

The coaching relationship kicks off with a chemistry meeting to see if we are a good fit to work together. We will then have a deep engagement session which marks the start of our collaborative journey. 

We will work out your goals, strengths, weaknesses, and limiting beliefs, and then create a tailored programme to help you reach your potential.

 

Through a series of coaching sessions, we will review progress, and have honest conversations about what's going well and not. We will problem-solve, rehearse scenarios, face up to difficult questions, fine-tune leadership skills and communication skills. Understand nuances of team morale, and what to do about it, and learn new skills. 

And remember, this isn't just about your professional life; it's also about your personal development.

What's in it for You?

The benefits of executive coaching benefits are endless. By improving your leadership capability, you can expect improved performance not just from yourself but also from your team. Expect to enjoy your work more. Expect retention to be improved. Expect to be a better partner/parent/friend. Be equipped with the necessary skills to take on leadership roles that can reshape your company's future. 

 

I strongly believe that good leadership makes a huge difference to society and as an Executive Leadership Coach, I aim to help you become a better leader and have a more positive impact on people's lives.
 

The Big Picture???

At the end of the day, Executive Leadership Coaching is not just another line item in the HR budget. It's an investment in training leaders to make strategic, impactful choices that uplift entire organisations.

 
It's about not just surviving but thriving at the executive level of the corporate world.

Whether you're a Senior Executive looking to up your game or a manager aspiring for a leadership role, you're investing in a service that goes beyond traditional leadership development. 

 

You're tapping into a resource that encompasses everything from critical skills to emotional intelligence and strategic planning.

So, if you're still on the fence about whether executive coaching services are worth it, think about your aspirations. Do you:

   - want to grow in your career? 
   - better align your personal and professional life? 
   - crave to be the type of leader who can make strategic, meaningful changes? 

Then, Executive Leadership Coaching might just be what you need.

This is an investment, not an expense - an investment in yourself, in becoming the leader you were always meant to be - the leader you would want to work for.
 

If you are ready to improve yourself, I would love to speak to you to discover how I can help.
