Create lasting influence & impact.
Core Areas of Expertise
Communication for Influence and Impact
Communication happens in many forms. Does yours impact your audience? Does it influence your listener? As the systems, organisations and the world become increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous - sharpened communication skills can help foster collaboration, improve problem solving and impact decision making. It can help you and your listener get what you want.
Building High Performance Teams
A high performing team is one that meets its objectives - whatever they are. For this to happen, teams need to display a high level of communication and collaboration. This only happens when teams trust one another. Trust - built through shared values and vision - is the foundation of teams that take risks on creativity and innovation. High performing teams also understand and listen to each other. Building appropriate communication for the team - based on styles, strengths and preferences will ensure teams meet objectives.
Leadership for Executive Impact Coaching
Have you considered how you lead? Have you thought about how you want to lead? Often successful leadership starts with the ability to lead yourself. Understanding your blindspots, beliefs and values, and how they show up in situations where they inhibit and enable you or your team. Leadership, it's not about you. It's about how you affect/ build/develop your team, understanding control, expectation, frustration and integrity.
Speaking & Presentation
We all need to present. Whether to a team member, manager, the board, a potential client or an auditorium, one thing is required - to move your audience to think, feel or do. It’s crucial to speak to your listener - to understand what they need to hear as well as what you need to say. Getting to the point, building messages into stories, reading your audience and handling difficult conversations and situations is key. Learn to manage your nerves, develop techniques and skills to become a better speaker, and recognise and build your own unique voice and style, in order to be yourself.
Women in Leadership
Women in leadership positions or new to leadership positions often face unique challenges. Building alliances and refining political influence within existing organisations systems can help identify and deal with these challenges. Learn how to embrace and refine your own presence, executive voice and leadership style to gain influence and success within new roles.
Career Transition
We all work for ourselves, we have always worked for ourselves - we just choose where and with whom we spend our time. You might find yourself in a career transition - redeployment, redundancy, deciding on a change of direction, or redesigning your life and how you want to spend your time - and with whom. Transition coaching helps equip you with the skills and tools you need to plan and think through. It also helps create decision making criteria - how I’m going to make my decision / determine direction.
