Employers reduce absence and sick days

My clients are already successful; whether they are a young entrepreneur, an established professional, the proprietor of a medium-sized business, or an executive well on their way to the top of their organisation. They come from the commercial, political, academic and government sectors.

They have already accomplished more than many people will in their lifetime. They all share a desire to achieve even more, and they know that they need the right kind of confidant to help them do so, building the skills, commitment, confidence, and belief that they can do it.

They are often frustrated, dealing with politics, petty agendas, and day-to-day events, when they would rather be more strategic – making a bigger difference. This frustration may be well contained or it could find expression in their relationships at home and at work – and this is one reason why they are often referred to me by friends and colleagues.

Working together, we articulate your vision of where you are going, research and map out the paths to get there, and develop strategies to bring other people with you.

If something is holding you back, we identify what it is, unravel the people and politics behnd it, and find ways of moving forwards.

My clients are usually referred to me because I have a reputation for digging deeper into issues, helping them understand their roles in terms of the psychology of the people, processes and organisations involved. They find that I am very supportive, inspire confidence, can be trusted, and respect their seniority and sensitivities.

Many of them have tried other ‘business coaches’ and report back to me that my corporate experience allows me to understand their circumstances better, that my psychotherapy background means that I have insights into dimensions of work that others lack, that I have the breadth to work flexibly rather than pursuing a rigid model or formulaic approach, and that my interest is entirely on their success and not on gathering case studies for some academic research.
