My Personal Philosophy & Approach to Coaching

I have worked as a learning & development consultant for over 10 years, during which time I have helped many individuals develop their ability to reach their full potential and add value to their organisations.

My focus is on helping people find solutions to challenging situations in relation to their performance and I enjoy working with a wide range of people operating at varying levels within their businesses. During my career, I have worked with a wealth of clients such as Gucci Group, Royal & SunAlliance, HSBC, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Metropolitan Police and the The Home Office.

As an accredited coach and qualified MBTI practitioner I am able to work closely with each individual, adapting to their personal priorities. I am always committed to working holistically with individuals and trust that I am able to help them deal effectively with the increased pressures we all face both professionally and personally.

I consider spending time with people allowing them to understand and recognise their core values as being the first step to building future successes, so this is always key to my involvement in any coaching.

Building good relationships with the people I work with is really important to encourage them to feel comfortable in sharing their concerns and aspirations. I have been told my energy and enthusiasm can be infectious and coupled with my pragmatic and objective view really helps people in achieving results.

Unlike most forms of development, coaching is not about theories and models it is about real life practical stuff, where there is rarely a single or lasting solution to any situation. This at times can be a tough path to walk and I love being able to guide individuals in finding their way to greater self awareness and enhanced personal and professional achievement.
