I n t e r n a t i o n a l E x e c u t i v e C o a c h
Develop advanced leadership skills and a winning boardroom presence and make a meaningful impact on your organisation.
High-level business environments are extremely demanding and require skilled and grounded leaders with access to trusted and experienced coaching support.
My coaching philosophy is that the focus should be on “how you are doing” rather than “what you are doing.” This kind of coaching is empowering, helps you determine “where you are at,” and encourages “out of the box” thinking.
As your partner on the development journey, I bring tried and tested leadership wisdom and a wealth of business and coaching experience to create a thinking environment that helps you improve performance and develop solutions to business challenges.
A BIT ABOUT ME
I am a founding partner at Change Partners. I’m also a strong believer in giving back to people and society and passionate about assisting leaders to optimise their skills, maximise their value to their employer, and become the best version of themselves.
I’ve been fortunate throughout my life to achieve success and lead enthusiastic and energetic teams. In my career, I’ve qualified as a Chartered Accountant and worked as finance director and CEO of businesses in the manufacturing and coal sectors, where I was known for rigorous financial management and entrepreneurial and innovative skills.
I’ve assessed feasibility, arranged finance, developed major corporate infrastructure projects, and spent 7 years as a strategy consultant. I’ve partnered with clients in “startups” and co-created growth strategies for established businesses.
For 20 years as a Change Partners coach, I’ve integrated my business skills and knowledge of business culture and leadership strengths to support various high-level and blue-chip clients through business coaching and leadership development.
LET’S PARTNER FOR YOUR SUCCESS
Together as coach and coachee, our partnership will enjoy the benefits of an empathetic yet challenging coaching style. I’ll first work to get a sound understanding of your needs, then encourage an open, robust, and inspiring discussion.
Let’s work together to help you and your team develop the tools for long-lasting leadership growth and organisational success.
