My approach

The Self-Leadership Wheel

Something I developed to help my clients look at self leadership as a whole. Often we give too much focus to one area, and too little to another. This wheel helps us hold the whole leadership development process in mind at once.

Using real examples from everyday work, we develop self-leadership techniques at the point where the challenge is actually happening building your self-agency as we go.

Self-leadership builds self-agency

WHAT UNDERPINS MY COACHING

Through all my life & work experience, here are some things I've learnt that inform my approach.

Self-leadership comes first

Self awareness is the foundation of self agency, your ability to influence your own direction, growth and outcomes.

At the hand of real work

You become a better leader at the next meeting, the next difficult conversation, the next email not in theory.

Master creative ambition with commercial sense

I understand the realities of budgets, deadlines and client demands the land of the commercial arts.

Relationships are everything

Learning to repair conflict and missteps is a core leadership skill, not an optional one.

Plans are essential

A plan turns intention into reality, short, mid and long term, so we know how we'll make it happen.

Let's talk about what your team needs.

A short call to see if we're a fit no pitch, no pressure. If it makes sense to work together, we'll figure out the right shape for it from there.
