About
Barb coaches both experienced and emerging leaders who are committed to improving their performance.
She believes that coaching is a fine balance between both challenge and support, and through the coaching relationship aims to provide both in the right amount.
Her interest and expertise is in creating the right environment and relationship for the coachee to grow and develop. This is achieved by increasing awareness, honing thinking skills, and developing skills and strategies to move towards their desired objectives.
Every individual and organisation is different therefore, no two coaching assignments are identical. Each is designed in collaboration with the client, to meet the individual’s learning and development needs. Usually they consist of 6 – 8 coaching sessions, of between 1.5 and 2 hours in duration.
Benefits
Coaching can assist leaders to:
- Prepare and execute a change process
- Grapple with an issue that is “keeping them awake at night”
- Transition into a new role or organisation
- Develop new skills in leading their people or organisation
- Develop their team to be more cohesive and therefore more effective
- Become aware of any “blind spots” that may be limiting their potential
Client Testimonials
“My coaching sessions are a real bucket filler. They provide me with quality time to really focus on how I’m going, where I want to go next, what’s going well and what I’m allowing to get in the way. The sessions provide an opportunity to take a helicopter view and regain my perspective, to commit to tangible actions/behaviours/thought patterns that I want to work on. As a CE they are one of the few places that I can fully debrief and work on how to keep becoming the best leader I can be”.
