A partnering approach

Wherever your leadership journey is at this point, it is always wise to have the right people in your corner to provide the independent expertise and thought leadership.  That is the role that that I play as your leadership transformation catalyst. 

It's a multi-dimensional blend approach: a systems focus to create the conditions for success across the ecosystem and people-centred to accelerate development of leadership capability across the system. 

The solutions are bespoke and flexibly packaged to meet the unique needs of each client.  Encouraging a mutual commitment to a partnering approach that unfolds over the tie of the clearly defined assignment. 

Typical Process:

  • Explore and scope needs, establish fit, contract services

  • Design a plan, map priorities, cadence, agree success measures 

  • Assess and sense-check organisational dynamics and discover conative strengths  

  • Leadership coaching and facilitation - individual and team - guided by ICF standards and best practice

  • Design and facilitate Balcony series and collaborative forums

  • Feedback loops to focus, prioritise, and track progress.

Let's stay connected!
