Leadership Development Coaching
I work on a one-to-one basis with leaders and hi-po's in business and the non-profit sector. I use the rigourous Harthill Leadership Development Framework in combination with my own proprietary Living Leadership model throughout the coaching engagement.
Each leader operates from a dominant stage of development - the leader's centre of gravity, which is a cumulative result of lived experience and learnings. Developmental stage is deeply interconnected with how we view the world - our meaning-making - and with how we interact with it, with others, and how we relate to ourselves. How we see and interact with the world in turn influences what we do and how we do it, and it can both hinder or enable our effectiveness.
Understanding the way we make sense of things is absolutely crucial during this time of COVID-19 as the pandemic has upturned what many people thought was true about the world and how it works. Not being able to work with that "upturning" and the resulting sense of groundlessness, confusion, anxiety and uncertainty, can have significant consequences on the individual's ability to live and lead, as well as wider consequences on their people, organisation and society.
Becoming aware of their meaning-making and the way it can drive or inform them, provides leaders with essential insights into what is hindering their effectiveness and importantly, how they can develop beyond these into an empowered stance. The coaching work enables the leader to see themselves and the world more clearly and completely; and this new seeing informs new ways of behaving, decision-making and communicating to be more effective.
By the end of our engagement clients will have gained new awareness, evolved competencies and, usually, will have adopted a radically different paradigm to operate from.
COVID-19 To provide additional much-needed support in the face of the pandemic and what lies ahead as the ramifications unfold, I have designed specific exercises and training modules that will help leaders
-
accelerate their learning and development
-
expand emotional literacy and the ability to regulate strong emotions and stress
-
become more skillful in the presence of other people's strong emotions and how to work with them
-
consciously work with the dynamic between bearing the heavy load of responsibility and the need for well-being and fallow time to be most effective
