CEO Premium Package

The of CEO in particular is unique from several perspectives: No one else needs to hear the truth more, and gets it less from employees; no one else is the focus of criticism when things go wrong; no one else is the final decision maker on difficult and often lose-lose decisions; and finally, no one else enjoys the almost hero-celebrity status and rewards.

Even the best-of-the-best CEOs have their blind spots and can dramatically improve their performance with an outside perspective. Similar to how elite athletes use a coach (in fact a 360 support team) CEOs can improve their overall effectiveness using their coach as a “thinking partner” or “trusted advisor”, someone who will be supportive and challenging in equal measure.

Some examples may include:

• Building a strategy for the next level of growth of the organisation
• Smooth transition through major change
• Development of strategic relationships, on the board and outside the organisation
• Communication and engagement of the team to deliver

I wanted to build a high performing Leadership team. Despite finding it tricky to remove myself from the day to day, I have learned “to let go” and truly give the Leadership Team the space to run the business.

I got the clarity I needed to prioritise key items and avoid the frequent changes and therefore uncertainties that that created in the business, and yet still remain agile and innovative.

An unexpected outcome was that I discovered that building new businesses won’t necessarily achieve greater fulfilment and that what I value most is friendships and people, that a balance is key. I have started to exercise, play sport again and I now have a regime that no longer means working half way through the night, but am getting up early and having some quiet thinking time without technology to plan the success of the day.

Although change is a part of all business and the struggle for a growing business is not to become too bureaucratic as it grows, embracing the strengths of process and keeping the human touch has been key and will continue to be important in my mind.

I’ve now established a great platform for the future to be able to achieve all that I would wish for and I am grateful to have met Anne and have her as a coach. Kirit Ruparelia, CEO of Nextgen Clearing

 

Executive Coaching Programme

For executives and business owners who, like CEOs, require outside perspective - a thinking partner and trusted advisor. Some examples may include:

• Building or contributing to the strategic plan for the next level of growth of the organisation
• Making sense of and translating strategy into actionable plans
• Inspiring and engaging the team to deliver
• Handling difficult or sensitive issues
• Development of strategic relationships with your peers to collaborate and achieve organisational goals together

The benefits from coaching were many, both personally and for my business. Firstly it enabled me to see clearly what I wanted in life and what my goals were. I realised in my business that I needed to set and measure standards of performance as well as give more direction and feedback to staff. But I also realised what not to do, in that areas which were causing me stress or grief or wasting valuable time were explored and evaluated. The results of this approach for me is a better organised business, improved staff performance, better customer care and last but by no means least, less stress for me.  Small Business Owner

My coaching sessions had a profound effect on my career and my life in general. It felt as if my career had stalled and I was getting swallowed up by internal politics and systems.  Coaching helped me recognise how valuable my skills are, rebuild my confidence and get out of a rut where I was working.  I am now about to take up an exciting opportunity with an incredible and progressive organisation.  Senior Executive, Voluntary Sector

Anne challenged me to see where there was more I could do and pushed me in a very positive way to get the most from our sessions. She is a great listener and observer so that she picks up what’s lurking under the surface and puts it on the table to get the best results. As a result I’ve more clarity, confidence, belief, focus and peace of mind. And in embracing my leadership role, it has made a huge difference to my business as well!
