Coaching Leaders and Facilitating Workshops

To Solve Problems, Seize Opportunities and Make Real, Sustainable Change

I am an executive, life coach and facilitator with over 30 years of experience based in Canterbury, Kent.

I help individuals and groups find their way through tricky or complicated problems and make sustainable changes for the future.

I work with individuals or teams of varying seniority.  I live near Canterbury but offer a service throughout the UK.  I prefer to work face to face but can also offer sessions by Zoom [or phone if you prefer].

As a coach I help individuals with the following areas:

1. Developing assertiveness
2. Developing confidence
3. Time management
4. Helping them through change
5. Building resilience
6. Career planning – preparing for role/career changes
7. Support in managing stress, change, conflict or crisis
8. Improving personal communication style
9. Identifying solutions to specific work-related issues by exploring options and evaluating the pros and cons in a given situation
10. Problem solving and tough decision making
11. Enhancing personal impact and performance through heightened self-awareness and  understanding  impact on others

As A Facilitator I help teams in the following areas:

1. Team building
2. Problem solving
3. Developing a vision for their organisation
   
4. Developing a strategy
5. Preparing for change
6. Project start ups and reviews

 

The Benefits Of An External Facilitator

• Increased participation from all group members especially the sponsor or event organiser

• Experience of working with other clients and industries helping to bring in new ways of looking at problems and solutions.
• Bringing a range of techniques and tools for group work
• Knowledge on how to plan and run successful workshops to get the most out of the investment in time and resources
• Managing group dynamics and the group process allowing the participants to focus on the content
• Keeping the group on track and ensuring nothing is missed to achieve the desired outcome

 

 

Get In Touch

Essentially what I do is:

• Listen
• Establish what it is you really want to do (eg are you addressing the cause or the symptom)
• Listen a bit more
• Agree how we will achieve your aims (design what we will do)
• Listen a bit more
• Work on the problem with you/your staff (eg through a workshop)
• Get buy-in to a course of action
• Review and follow up
