Coaching support is provided to clients in a range of ways and mainly in the areas of:

• Executive coaching
• Leadership coaching
• Career development and interview preparation.

Clients include individuals and teams in the APS, in not-for-profit organisations and in private enterprise.

In every case my objective is to support individuals to achieve their goals.

How the Coaching Works

There is no fixed coaching model.  Some clients want a very structured program, where we work in an intense way, meeting regularly, to achieve a goal or goals over a defined period.  Some clients want to meet occasionally, to work with me as an independent and trusted confidant, or adviser on particular issues they are confronting. Coaching arrangements are structured to meet each individual’s needs.

Typically the approach, whether we are working on a specific issue for one coaching session or an intense program over several weeks or months, is to first establish very clearly the coaching agreement. That is, what does the coachee want to achieve out of the session or program.  With clarity around the goal(s) we then work through the current reality, explore alternatives, put in place strategies to achieve the goal(s) and specific actions.  My aim is to support clients achieve clarity around realistic and achievable goals and then keep on track to achieve their desired outcomes.  This may necessitate review of the goals, strategies and actions as we go.

Coaching will involve me sharing ideas, models and approaches that may be valuable.  It also involves me being an accountability partner and checking in with you on progress to support achievement of goals.  Coaching may involve, where I observe behavioural styles or habits that could be hindering a coachee in achieving goals, sharing observations in the safety of a confidential and supportive coaching relationship.

Coaching Credentials

I trained with Results Coaching Systems whose coaching methodologies draw on findings in neuroscience, adult learning, systems and change theory. I am a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) having trained with both the ICF and the NeuroLeadership Institute. All of my coaching is practised consistent with the ICF Competencies of Coaching.

In addition to the career experience and professional training I bring to coaching, I am accredited in the use of several strengths based diagnostic tools.  These include the: Human Synergistics Behavioural Life Style Inventory Model™;  Human Synergistics Leadership/Impact Model®; Human Synergistics Management/Impact Model® and the PRISM Business Brain Mapping model.  These tools can be valuable in helping individuals: analyse their strengths and areas for further development; understand the impact of different leadership or behavioural styles on other; and understand how well certain occupational roles fit with their preferred behavioural style and capabilities.
