Why Leader as a Coach?
According to the Human Capital Institute (HCI) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Study, 54% of companies that are classified as 'High Performing' have a strong Coaching Culture. This figure drops to a low 29% amongst organisations without that culture.
The report also highlights that the cost of replacing an employee can be anywhere from 50% to 200% of their salary!
Coaching creates awareness; Coaching creates thinking in our teams; Coaching leads to an empowered culture; an empowered culture creates engagement; and high engagement significantly improves retention in the workplace.
Leader As A Coach will create a culture of coaching to empower individuals to succeed, developing high performing teams and improving retention across the organisation.

Why is Coaching so Important?
To Raise Awareness
Coaching is a process that can raise awareness in various ways, helping individuals gain deeper insights into themselves, their goals, and their behaviors.
To Increase Personal Accountability
Encourages individuals to take responsibility for their roles, actions, and continuous improvement, leading to a more accountable and productive workforce.
To Increase Responsibility
Employees are more likely to take ownership of their work, make informed decisions, and contribute positively to the organization.
All 3 of these bring greater empowerment and resourcefulness to the individual, creating lasting change and significantly improved results, by adopting a learning approach that operate from the 'inside out', as opposed to 'outside in'.
Bespoke Program Design
We create a bespoke program, building on a core outline, and designed with you and your business in mind.
We recommend a 12-month program for your leaders to work through with us, recognising the importance of this transformational journey.
Why 12 months?
Short-term programs lack reinforcement: there is insufficient time to overcome the resistance to change and to promote a continuous learning culture.
Short-term programs do not give the time to embed the learning, to practice ‘getting good’, and to build confidence within the team.
A 12-month program provides continued engagement, providing high challenge and high support.
A 12-month program provides a powerful message to your leaders that you are investing in them.

Coaching is transformational.
Coaching is a unique and powerful relationship.
The Coaching process brings greater empowerment and resourcefulness to an individual, creating lasting change.

"Don't build a business, build people,

You need to be in the ‘Human potential’ business!
Research carried out by the Carnegie Institute of Technology discovered that 85% of the financial success of a business is due to skills in ‘human engineering’, and just 15% is due to technical knowledge.
I help you to leverage that technical knowledge through the development of your leaders and teams, inciting a passion to achieve more and motivating them towards high performance. Find out more . . .
Personality Profiling
“The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself” - Thales
One of the greatest benefits in using profiling tools is in service of personal development and stronger team working.
Personality profiling is designed to help you to better know yourself, as well as provide you with insight on how you can grow yourself.

Client Testimonials
Very positive . . .
"In the past 4 weeks, I have learned that there were (too) many times when I was being prescriptive rather than using some interactions as an opportunity to create a coaching moment. I was able to turn quite a few casual conversations into small coaching moments. I feel most of those were received very positively."
Leader as a Coach - Cohort 1 Leader
Helping people help themselves . . .
"I am working on helping people to help themselves. I still catch myself wanting to give answers - and yet I see plenty of evidence when I refrain from doing so, people really do have most of what is needed within to solve their own problems."
Leader as a Coach - Cohort 3 Leader
The coaching approach helped . . .
"My proudest work in the past few weeks regarding my coaching abilities is to put the newly learned approach of listening and asking questions during my 1:1 with team associates. I also changed the venue for meetings from my office to a general meeting room to help identify a neutral place for discussions. The coaching approach helped get more active participation from the associates rather than the previous conversation style where I got a lower response and I ended up leading the meeting. During these sessions, we focused on establishing individual development plans for their readiness for the next role and identified specific goals to focus on achieving in the coming months or years".
Leader as a Coach - Cohort 1 Leader
I really appreciate this opportunity & the insights . . .
"As my role has evolved, a greater emphasis was placed on interpersonal skills and adapting to the responsibilities became challenging. Not knowing what to do and how to handle the shift in work responsibility, I felt stuck. I found the recent PDP exercise was particularly challenging yet rewarding. The exercise carried me through self-reflection with a sequence of thoughts and emotions. It ended up serving as an opportunity to gain a deeper level of clarity about myself. The awareness and the feeling of knowing what to do is a great relief and sheds light for the way forward. These few weeks transformed the jumbled thoughts in my head and laid them out clearly line by line. To express that the training was helpful would be an understatement. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this opportunity and the insights you have shared with us.".

FAQS
How does life coaching differ from therapy?
While both life coaching and therapy aim to support personal growth, they have distinct approaches. Therapy typically focuses on addressing past traumas, emotional healing, and diagnosing mental health conditions. On the other hand, life coaching is forward-focused, centered around setting and achieving goals, enhancing performance, and unlocking potential. If you're seeking to overcome specific challenges from your past, therapy might be more suitable. If you're looking to create a roadmap for personal or professional success, life coaching could be the right fit.
How often are coaching sessions conducted?
Coaching sessions frequency can vary based on your needs and preferences. Typically, we recommend starting with weekly sessions to establish momentum and make consistent progress. As you gain confidence and traction towards your goals, sessions might transition to bi-weekly or monthly. The flexibility of our approach ensures that the coaching frequency adapts to your evolving requirements, ensuring optimal support and accountability.
What if I'm unsure about my goals and direction?
It's completely normal to feel uncertain about your goals and direction. Our coaching process begins with an initial assessment where we'll work together to clarify your aspirations, values, and priorities. Through insightful questioning and exploration, we'll collaboratively uncover your passions and potential areas for growth. If you're not entirely sure about your goals, our coaching can help you gain clarity and chart a course that aligns with your authentic self. Remember, the journey towards clarity is an integral part of the coaching process itself.
