  1:1 Coaching

  We all have patterns of how we react to things. Some of these serve us well, but some don’t – and everyone struggles with relationships at some point. During our work together you will gain an increased self-awareness so that you have greater choice when it comes to those unconscious, unhelpful patterns, and greater clarity when appreciating your strengths. The benefit might be a better relationship with yourself, and therefore greater self-confidence, or it might be having wider strategies to influence stakeholders, including managing their performance. The outcome is to leave you with a feeling of being more in control to achieve your goals and ambitions.

  Team coaching

  Why would you want one of these?

  • You want to boost employee wellbeing and increase the sense of belonging in your company;
  • The culture is already established but is NOT where you want it to be – there is drama, gossip and toxicity that is impacting performance and increasing staff attrition; As a senior leader, you are the one who is defining the culture of the organisation or team you are leading – so if you are wanting change in the organisation, you will also need to partake in the fun!
  • Your team are quite new, so this is an excellent opportunity to bring people together; get to understand each other, and start thinking about the culture you want to define in the organisation. This will include generating conflict competence – an ability to engage with conflict in a way that is open and respectful;
  • You need to get a team together very quickly for a particular project, or bid, and everyone needs to be performing to a high standard in no time at all – eek!
  • Or maybe you just want it all?

   

  I love bringing people together and developing them as a team. Contact me about how I might be able to help!

  Working with teams in Conflict

  Staff turnover is the single biggest expense, with nearly half a million workers resigning every year over disputes, according to the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service -ACAS (May 2021) That Workplace conflict is costing UK employers £28.5bn a year, with experts warning an increase in remote working could make disputes between staff harder to manage.

  If you want a better culture in your organisation or have conflict in your team which is starting to put a dent in your revenue, is it not worth one phone call to find out more?

  I could be saving you an absolute fortune.

  Working with Neurodiverse Leaders

  Ever thought that a high performer in your team who is just a touch 'geeky' or 'socially clunky' or let's face it – downright rude – could be neurodiverse? Being neurodivergent(ND) means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical (NT)” person. ND leaders have unique perspectives and strengths, but they may face challenges in navigating social norms and communication styles that are geared toward NT individuals. However, we all need to connect sometimes, and someone who is Autistic, has ADHD, dyslexia, Tourettes, etc, doesn't necessarily connect in the same way as NT people – in fact, it can be quite overwhelming for them, which is why they often prefer working alone.

   

  As a NT coach who has first-hand experience of dealing with autism, having an autistic son, I have a good understanding of the struggles: sensory overload; lack of eye contact; struggle with change; social isolation; and potential workplace bullying. Of course, as NTs we need to have an open mind about how we accommodate diverse strengths in all individuals. My area of specialism is in helping people who are neurodiverse connect more comfortably with those who are neurotypical.
