Through collaborative partnership, I provide support and challenge to midlife leaders and professionals who wish to think about and reflect on their leadership task and career trajectory. I guide and inspire them to work towards positive change with a renewed sense of well-being and balance, purpose and contribution.
I offer open, confidential spaces of mutual respect, trust and equality – spaces for co-inquiry, reflection, discovery, sense-making and action-planning. In dialogue, I enable my coachees to gain clarity on their future goals and aspirations, exploring new possibilities and opportunities while also addressing any dilemmas, obstacles, blind spots and limiting assumptions. I enable them to see and understand their situation more broadly and deeply, from new perspectives, helping them gain self-awareness and self-knowledge. Besides this, I encourage them to try out new ways of thinking and behaving that may serve them better.
Together we might consider what’s already working well, and why, what matters, and what needs to change. I help my coachees to leverage their strengths, capacities and resources as much as their experience, know-how and wisdom. Areas we might focus on can range from interpersonal issues, communication and conflict, to managing stress, uncertainty and complexity.
