Why Leaders Choose Coaching

Your leaders are capable. What holds them back is usually something they can't see on their own: a blind spot, a pattern under pressure, or a team that isn't quite working. We help them see it, and change it, in their real work. 

  • Lead with greater Self-Awareness and Emotional Maturity
  • Step up with Confidence into a new or bigger role
  • Have the Difficult Conversations about performance and behaviour
  • Build Trust and stronger working relationships
  • Gain Buy-in for important decisions and change
  • Turn a group of individuals into a high-performing Team
  • Balance Strategic thinking with Operational delivery
  • Lead from their Strengths, not their blind spots
  • Prioritise what matters and Delegate the rest
  • Stay steady under Pressure and lead through conflict
  • Develop People so they succeed in their roles
  • Make Training Stick back on the job

Our Coaching Approach

Coaching starts with an honest conversation, not a package. Tell us what's really going on, including the politics and sensitivities. As a former HR Director, our founder gets it quickly.


We then agree goals with the leader and their sponsor, use a diagnostic such as the Leadership Circle Profile or CliftonStrengths where it adds insight, and coach to the real situations the leader is facing. What's said in coaching stays confidential.


Choose 1:1 coaching for executives and senior leaders, group coaching for 6–8 leaders who learn from each other, or team coaching for an intact leadership team. Many clients combine coaching with our leadership programs so the learning sticks.

Three Ways to Coach

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

Confidential one-on-one coaching for executives and senior leaders. We start with a diagnostic such as the Leadership Circle Profile, agree goals with the leader and their sponsor, then coach to the real situations they face.

Group coaching

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

A small cohort of 6–8 leaders from across your organisation. Each brings a real challenge, and the group learns from each other and keeps each other accountable. Ideal after a leadership program, so the learning sticks.

Team coaching

Executive & leadership coaching (1:1)

Team coaching

For an intact leadership or executive team. We coach the team as one unit on how it works together: trust, decisions, accountability, and the conversations it keeps avoiding.

Group coaching: how it works

1. Design

2. Kick-off

2. Kick-off

We meet with HR or the sponsor to agree the purpose, the cohort and what success looks like.

2. Kick-off

2. Kick-off

2. Kick-off

Each leader completes a profile (CliftonStrengths, EQ-i 2.0 or the Leadership Circle) and a 1:1 session to set their goals.

3. Group sessions

Six 90-minute sessions, fortnightly or monthly, in person or online. Each one checks in on commitments, explores one focus topic, then coaches live on the real issues leaders bring.

4. Close

A final 1:1 for each leader, and a short themes report for HR. Individual conversations stay confidential.

Who Group Coaching Suits

Emerging and newly promoted leaders, women in leadership, and graduates of Leadership in Action or our 1–2 day programs.

Why it works:

  • Leaders learn from peers facing the same pressures
  • Built-in accountability between sessions
  • More leaders coached for the same budget
  • Learning is practised over months, not forgotten after a workshop

Sensitive or personal issues are best kept for 1:1 coaching, which we can add for any leader in the group.

Leadership Coaching Tools

Diagnostic tools can add insight & teams:

One of the world's leading profiling tools for personal, team and leadership development, used since 1985. It maps eight core work activities against four work preference measures (the RIDO scale) to create each person's profile. It's about learning, not just assessment.

Personal Values Assessment

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

A short survey that takes just a few minutes and reveals why you do what you do. Your values reflect what matters most to you: what you hold dear, what upsets you, and what drives your decisions and motivation.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

An approach to communication and personal change, first described by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in 1975. Our coaches use NLP to surface deeper beliefs, so clients can choose whether they still serve them, change unhelpful patterns and build positive habits.

Generative Change Coaching

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Generative Change Coaching

Developed by Robert Dilts and Stephen Gilligan, Generative Change focuses on creating something new. It helps people build meaningful work, strong relationships and a healthy relationship with themselves, including their past, future, wounds and gifts. We use it in our coaching programs.
