Effectiveness through award winning experience…

For over 20 years, I have been coach and mentor to powerful business people and enterprising individuals. As a PR consultancy MD and Group Marketing Director, who has since undertaken coaching accreditation, I have led teams and companies to better performance achieving ever more impressive results. Through incisive questioning I probe mindsets and use models to lead clients to discover the right answers to achieve their goals. The effect is greater motivation and effective empowerment seen in lasting change and longer term results.

The only constant is change and every business and all markets are fluid and dynamic. Nimble businesses with agile thinking will always do well. They see the pitfalls, address their problems, tackle their challenges and cement their future, person by person, bit by bit. That’s what makes outstanding companies become the very best in their business

How it begins…

At an initial meeting, I help the company or individual to identify up to four areas of primary focus. The goal is to establish measurable objectives and determine success parameters for all stakeholders. Each focus area is given a ‘scale of concern’ from 1-10 and the likely number and frequency of sessions required to progress all four focus areas to reach 10 can then be determined. A full no obligation proposal is then provided including a review process for all goals that have been formally agreed..

At this point feedback on the 'scale of concern' with other employees across every level can be conducted to optimise your return on investment.

Using a powerful range of models, toolkits and processes I help clients gain a meaningful understanding of why they do what they do and how new goals can be identified and achieved by creatively searching for solutions. My work challenges and inspires people to think bigger and deliver better results. You won't necessarily be told what you want to hear, but you will definitely be shown and told what you need to do to make things better.

And the results are often phenomenal.

DISC psychometric profiling

Every individual that I coach is DISC profiled in order to raise self awareness and fast track results. The profile clarifies drivers and fears, control styles, and communication and management preferences. The results are fascinating and intensely accurate, identifying private coping mechanisms, how people adapt at work and how they conduct themselves under pressure.

Developed by Dr William Marston, the inventor of the polygraph lie detector, DISC profiling is widely regarded as one of the most potent tools of its kind.

Recently

I have been coaching clients including entrepreneurs, leaders and managers across a broad range of industries such as IT, finance, law, manufacturing, leisure, marketing and charities (pro bono), as well as individuals who are seeking to successfully master goals or challenges. Many have chosen to rehire me on the strength of the results they have been able to achieve.
