As leaders, we often learn what works by trial and error.

Leadership and team development, whether through coaching, workshops, or a combination, will accelerate your learning and growth.

You’ll learn about common mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to pick yourself up quickly when things don’t quite go to plan.

And you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice the tools, techniques, and strategies before applying them in the “real world”.

Leadership and team development require an investment of time and money, so it’s only natural that you’d want a return on your investment.

Stronger leaders and more engaged teams are linked to higher employee engagement, greater productivity, lower turnover, reduced stress, better morale, and higher customer satisfaction ratings.

The results you get will be linked to the type of programme you select, and the areas of focus you choose. I use evidence-based techniques to ensure that you get the best “bang for your buck”.

And I teach you how to embed improvements so that you continue to reap the benefits, long after we finish working together.

It’s quite normal for people within a team to have varying levels of interest or enthusiasm about training and development. Rest assured that this won’t derail your investment.

Before we get started, I’ll make time to learn about your team members, and discuss any concerns that you might have.

Once we’re underway, I’ll ensure that everyone is included and has the opportunity to engage with the programme in a way that makes sense to them.

Even the most reluctant participant usually warms up once they have had a chance to get comfortable with the presenter, programme, and their fellow participants.

The time required for leadership and team development depend on your needs, goals, and resources.

I tailor all of my sessions and programmes to ensure that you get useful, practical tools, techniques and strategies that you can start to apply right away.

Having a supportive environment outside of coaching sessions and workshops is the best way to see results fast. That means participants having a chance to practice their new skills and receive helpful feedback to hone their approach.

Whether I’m coaching individuals, facilitating workshops, or supporting teams, my approach is based on positive psychology principles such as building grit and resilience, enhancing wellbeing, discovering and applying personal strengths, and developing a growth mindset.

I work with my clients to identify what is working well, and how they can spread that magic to other areas of their life and work (also known as ‘appreciative inquiry’).

And I teach my clients how to recognise and use their own strengths, and spot the strengths of others, to maximise their chances of success.
