I coach senior people within their organisation, usually as part of a broader talent management programme to retain and develop top performers. Coaching reinforces strengths and ensures your expensive hires thrive and add significant value. It reduces cognitive overload, increases self-awareness and helps focus attention. This accelerates the rate at which individuals meet challenges such as:

• The demands of a new position and stretch performance targets
• Getting off the Crazy Busy bandwagon
• Critical career decision making
• Aligning your priorities to meet conflicting and challenging demands 
• Organisational change management programmes
• Work/life imbalances and coping with stress
• Transition from a management to a leadership role
• The transition from functional head to leading multi-functional teams
• Defining personal leadership style
• Strategy, sales or marketing planning — challenging stale/habitual thinking
• Fixing whatever is holding someone back
• Increasing self-awareness
• Identifying potential de-railers, over-used strengths and blind-spots (such as micro-management, perfectionism, desire to be a fixer/hero, lack of influence, weak listening skills, over-commitment and under-delivery, resistance to change, self-sabotage, poor work/life balance, lack of confidence, unrestrained ego, unhelpful defence mechanisms). The strengths that get you through earlier stages of your career can get in the way later on.
• Passing selection panels for promotion.
