I am an executive and business coach who specializes in working with business and other leaders to:
develop themselves into the leaders their teams and businesses need them to become;
develop and grow their teams both collectively and individually;
build their businesses and achieve bottom-line success.
I am passionate about developing real leaders - people who can step out in front and bring people along with them in order to build successful, happy and sustainable businesses. I am a natural strategic thinker, and my ability to bring clients up "onto the balcony" so that they can take a new look at the field of play has helped hundreds of clients to see things afresh and pursue possibilities they had not previously seen.
If English is not your first language, communicating with confidence in an English speaking environment with English speaking colleagues and clients can be daunting. For some high potential people, it is the main obstacle to a successful career in a global organisation. There are many Business English tutors out there, however, surprisingly few of them have real business experience. In me you have an English tutor who also has nearly 20 years of experience as a Business and Executive Coach.
I can prepare you for anything from a presentation at a conference or meeting, to a global work assignment and everything in between, using my 18 years of experience as a Business Coach and my Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (Business English).
I have a fantastic 5-part online self-study programme for newly appointed managers. Whether you are an experienced manager or a novice, there are some essentials that you need to get right early on with your team. This programme will help you to do just this, and it’s GREAT value for money!
Executive Coaching - affecting change from the top - down. It is little wonder that we use a term like "the corporate jungle" to describe the experience that many executives have in their working world. Never have executives been under more pressure to deliver better results with fewer resources in a less supportive business environment.
Strategy - identifying what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, when it needs to be done and who needs to be accountable for getting it done. Strategy and strategic thinking is the ability to eliminate the noise and focus on the critical issues.
Leadership - leadership development includes succession planning and development, developing the ability to think and lead strategically, and creating an environment in which learning and development is accelerated.
