How Coaching can help you.....
When reading through this list of benefits from coaching do you recognise areas where you want to see improvement as a leader?
You are already a successful leader, but you have decided that there are areas where you can perform more effectively, and you want to know how to achieve this in a safe but stretching coaching environment.
You want a clearer understanding of:
your personal style and how you respond to issues
your professional performance
how to deal with organisational issues
your career plans and actions
your strategic perspective
You want to be quicker in moving to action in dealing with issues
You want to improve :
communication and engagement skills
how you cope with stress and build your resilience
how you deliver and receive feedback
your professional relationships - with directors/managers and with subordinates
your decision-making skills
assertiveness / self-assurance / leadership strengths
your professional relationships - with peers
your motivation in role
work/life balance
change agent skills
measured personal performance
your abilities to delegate
your effectiveness at work - do less and achieve more?
Coaching is a way to bridge any gap between where you and your business, your life or career are today and where you would like to be.
Customised coaching works faster, is more effective, and is more convenient than standard management seminars and work books. It is not an extravagance but a must to get fast effective business solutions.
You will define your goals and achieve the results you want!

I am qualified as a leadership and executive coach through the Institute of Leadership and Management.
I have been an active coach across the West Midlands region since 2008, helping senior managers working for different local authorities to regain their motivation, develop confidence and impraove their effectiveness within their organisation. People say I am open, direct and challenging inspiring them to improve their enjoyment, motivation and resilience to tackle leadership issues. Developing an effective coaching relationship is stretching but enjoyable, where we are working towards agreed coaching goals.
My career spans 18 years of public service senior management over a range of regulatory services. Latterly my work has specifically addressed crime and disorder through cooperative working with the Police, Fire, Probation NHS and other council services. I have also been involved in community cohesion working and the Prevent agenda.
This period has seen substantial change in the role of local authorities and placed greater importance on working in partnership with other organisations.
I also have experience in the private sector ('88-'94) assisting blue chip companies from the consumer products industry in achieving legal compliance and in developing quality management systems. The scope of this work included assisting in defending enforcement challenges and prosecutions, delivering internal and external training courses, providing quality consultancy and a flexible range of audit services addressing food safety, health and safety, and trading law compliance.
And this followed an earlier career in Trading Standards working in offices across the West Midlands as an accomplished investigator and regulator dealing with businesses and individuals from all backgrounds.
I also have experience of voluntary work in running a community association, as an elected Parish Councillor, and I am currently actively involved in supporting a major Clubmark accredited Shropshire Warriors Basketball Development programme in Shropshire, involving players from aged 5 yrs through to senior players in the English Basketball League.
