'The coaching sessions were an opportunity to focus on me, something I don’t normally do; to reflect and take stock. At times this was challenging. My coach helped me to use the strong emotional currency that I bring to the organisation I work for. The sessions focused me on what I wanted to achieve and got me to stop chasing routes that were not right for me.'

Persian poet Rumi wrote, 'Don't sit with indifferent people whose breath comes cold out of their mouths'. When you choose to work with one of our coaches you are choosing a commitment to your best self. Our coaches are not indifferent people; they know and understand the challenges of life, work and business, are committed to their own development and have great expertise in enabling change.
Teams and Organisations
When working with groups or teams we:
Notice what isn't discussed as well as what is
Look at hidden dynamics impacting team functioning
Enquire into misconnections and disconnections in the team and the wider prganisation
Enable effective strategies and productive relationships
Where we devise larger coaching programmes, our methods ensure that the organisation as a whole will benefit from appropriately gathered aggregated information for development and strategic purposes. We have devised ways of working that respect the necessary confidentiality of any individual’s coaching sessions while at the same time ensuring appropriate alignment with organisational requirements.
We want our coaching to deliver value, so we integrate evaluation into our coaching work.
Psychology and Change
As psychologists we are experienced in supporting behavioural change and as organisational consultants we understand how to work with change in challenging and complex settings. We can support you in addressing individual experiences of change, life as a sponsor or change agent, or in developing integrated and integrating strategies.
'My coach provided expert and comprehensive coaching to me during a particularly difficult and taxing time. The Children’s Directorate as a whole and me specifically were facing a challenging change process that required careful and skilled coaching; my coach employed her abundant listening skills and most importantly solid and thoughtful advice – that advice was used to good effect in that I was able to turn what could have been a negative experience into a very positive one. She received my thanks and respect for her professional and considered contribution.'
