Executive coaching is a relationship-focused development intervention. A form of leadership development takes place through a series of contracted, one-to-one conversations with a qualified coach. Tailored to the individual to enable them to learn through a reflective conversation. Such learning only occurs because of the unique relationship created by the coach based on trust, safety and support”
Working with individuals and organisations with a focus on Healthcare, we guide people in setting and achieving their goals while aiming to introduce and develop coaching cultures.

If we do what we always did,
we will get what we always got”
Coaching out of the box
Based on trust, we enable our clients to explore without being led by placing them at the centre of our learning experiences. Our conversations are collaborative and future-orientated, producing benefits of sense-making, positive performance, efficiency and improvement.
We use a range of tools, techniques, and models to help clients explore, structure, and focus on specific skills and agreed goals. The journey delivers an impactful, long-term, positive clarity, and develops personal attributes including self-talk, self-awareness, responsibility, insightfulness, social interaction, and emotional intelligence, whilst building confidence and unleashing greater happiness, creativity, and fulfilment.
This supports cultural change, delivering long-term benefits for both individuals and embedding a culture of coaching in organisations.
Better together
Whether performing one-on-one coaching with individuals, or corporate coaching with teams, our coaches help reduce conflict, improve team communication and understanding, and develop interpersonal skills.
Enabling two-way communication with colleagues helps keep the leadership team connected to younger personnel and up-and-coming trends. This helps leaders keep up to date which inspires targeted innovation and product and service innovation.
In general, our junior colleagues believe in coaching wanting to be listened to and understood. Offering them coaching is seen as a benefit and will help to differentiate you from other organisations and attract the best candidates.

Coaching and mentoring help to build stronger teams with a more inclusive culture while aligning individuals to an organisation's ethos. This creates a more cohesive working environment, where people work well together, where processes are streamlined, and where collaboration between teams is seamless.
The right environment for success
Since the pandemic, we've seen an acceleration of workplace trends including the migration of work to online or virtual environments. We understand the importance of safe havens when coaching and are happy to offer coaching sessions online and in person. If in-person this may be in a quiet office, at the client's home, in our offices or weather permitting, outside. Programmes may be a blended mix of one-to-one and online, it's all about creating the right environment to make our clients feel comfortable and support their journey.
