Growing personally and gaining professionally
Coaching is an important tool for businesses that enables their employees to understand and take control of their personal development.
Coaching is an effective way to help individuals achieve their goals, improve their performance, and gain greater self-awareness.
I have to admit I was rather reluctant when it was suggested by my manager that I meet with Phil for coaching sessions. I’m not the sort of person that really likes to open up and talk about things, particularly to someone that I don’t know. But as it turns out, it is probably one of the most useful, informative and enlightening things that I have ever done.”
How we can help
What We Offer
Executive Coaching
“It’s lonely at the top” a cliche but very real for business leaders. True effective coaching allows challenges to be confidently discussed with a truly unbiased coach who can listen reflect and guide.
Career Development
When it’s not working in the job, and you don’t know why, or you want a career change. Searching for the solutions to these scenarios can be found through effective targeted coaching.
Lifesyle Change
There are times when we want to make changes and struggle with choices and the courage to make them. Being coached allows the choices to be identified and strategy to be created.
Self Awareness
Understanding “self” is the starting point to understanding why we do what we do, how and why others have perceptions of us, and it is the foundation for making any changes. Empathetic and easily understood coaching gives an authentic insight into “us” and really unlocks personal growth.
Accountability
A good coach will become a trusted “critical friend” who provides balance, subjectivity and will hold the coachee to account for actions. Success is always far greater when there is a commitment to actions and change and there is follow up with an empathetic coach.

The Challenge:
To deliver personal development aligned with business goals and leadership team growth. The outcome needed to be a group of more confident people who fully understood their strengths and areas of challenge, which would then result in a higher performing team. Ensuring that the coaching delivered tangible business performance was a critical outcome and there had to be an agreed purpose to the sessions.
Our approach was to start with a “connection” conversation to ensure we were the right people to deliver the coaching. The relationship was then built that was trusting and open and the coaching had value and credibility. The first meeting defined the process the desired outcomes and an agreement that there was going be challenge and “holding to account” balanced with encouragement and empathy. Following monthly sessions utilising a variety of coaching techniques and self awareness tools the individuals in the team have become more open with their individual development and team meetings are held in a more positive and business directive fashion.

“Being coached was something I have had in the past and not really felt added much value. When I was told I was going to have coaching I was definitely unsure it was for me. From the first session that I attended with Phil I was impressed with how he balanced a caring but challenging approach and he really made me think and reflect. I found he allowed me to think and be really honest with myself on why I reacted in some ways and it has helped me to recognise and change behaviours when in these situations. Throughly recommend this to anyone”
