What we do
We provide 1-1 executive and leadership coaching services specifically tailored to senior executives and CEOs.
Every situation is different so we don’t believe in “out of the box” solutions instead coupling our experience with the needs of the organisation and proven tools, techniques and frameworks to create an individually tailored approach.
CEO Coaching
Whether experienced or inexperienced, all CEOs need confidential support and a sounding board to work through specific business / stakeholder issues or manage the emotional pressures of this, the most complex and important of roles.
Developing Senior Leaders
Our experience has taught us the fundamental importance for organisations of retaining and developing internal talent. We provide targeted support for executives preparing for, or adapting to, new responsibilities or struggling with some aspects of their role and in need of a performance boost.
Typical themes for the work might include:
Developing self-awareness and awareness of impact on others
Improving natural authority, executive maturity and communication skills
Articulating strategy, vision and purpose and translating this into action
Building and maintaining board / stakeholder alignment and confidence
Delegating effectively to more senior and capable individuals
Driving accountability in appropriate ways
Evolving leadership style and approach as the business scales
Dealing with challenging relationships / conversations
In addition, we provide an absolutely confidential and safe sounding board for clients to discuss the issues at hand or test positions or approaches that they are formulating.
“As a CEO, Ivan’s coaching was crucial in helping me identify the core issues our business faced as we transitioned to a tech platform. His special skill was guiding me to make simple changes that have a big impact. It’s rare in my role to get such strong challenge and support through effective questioning and active listening. I really appreciated how Ivan made an extra effort to understand the company and me as a person and the professional development that came as a result was top-notch!”

“Working with Kate has been awesome. She is an amazing listener, and simultaneously provides challenge and support, which has helped me develop as a leader. Kate has helped me identify my blind spots and own my weaknesses, and learned how to amplify my strengths. I now find myself using a lot of her techniques with my team, which is a testament in and of itself.”
