Are you a senior leader in an SME looking to unleash your true leadership potential?
Leading in an SME is different to a big corporate. It’s often pretty free of the politics and slow decision making. But it brings its own challenges, especially if you’re doing it for the first time.
You need to be strategic but you often also have a pretty hefty day job that still involves a fair bit of the doing and switching between those modes isn’t easy
Then you’ve got the pressures of driving growth, managing limited resources, fostering innovation, and making decisions at pace. There’s a lot of responsibility because the business success depends on every one of the leadership team delivering on their own objectives. Often there isn’t a natural role model or mentor with the time and capacity to support you
How Coaching Transforms the Game
My 1:1 Executive Leadership Coaching is specifically designed to equip you with the skills, mindset, and strategies you need to thrive as a senior leader in the SME environment
I get the intricacies of leading in this context because I’ve been there. Now, my job is to help you overcome challenges, create opportunities, and be the leader you want to be
I’ll challenge you, so don’t expect it to be an easy ride. Some of the questions I pose will probably feel uncomfortable at times because that’s where the growth is.
But I’ll also be your biggest cheerleader and a confidential sounding board.
I won’t judge you and I’ll create the all important headspace you almost certainly need if this leadership lark is feeling like a bit of a crazy ride

How does it work?
The level of support and the frequency and length of coaching sessions is tailored specifically to you
