Coaching Skills for Leaders

Coaching is a skill that has one of the highest returns on investment, some studies report 800%. So, it is not surprising that once your managers start coaching, you can expect breakthrough results for your entire organisation.

Unfortunately, the majority of us are hardwired into believing that management means telling people what to do... after all, it’s how most of us have been brought up. Yet research demonstrates that the most effective leaders and managers are those who ‘coach’ rather than ‘tell’.

This means encouraging people to work things out for themselves and find their own answers through skilfully crafted questions. Allowing people to wire new ‘maps’ into their own brain unleashes their true potential, capabilities and performance.

Speaker Bio

You’re good with your hands…but your brother is the intelligent one

This is what I was told as a child. Having failed my 11+ exam, and being consigned to being ‘average’, I am living proof that anyone can be who they want to be and achieve a destiny beyond their dreams… and the low expectations of others.

Drawing on ground-breaking neuroscience research and brain-based coaching methods, I transform the behaviours of teams and individuals to deliver growth, engagement and profitability within world-class companies.

With a Masters in Business Analysis & Systems Design and as a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management, I combine business acumen with an intimate knowledge of corporate culture. I am an accredited brain and behaviour specialist, with over 25 years experience, offering a series of world-renowned programmes to multi-national organisations, including HSBC, Louis Vuitton, Emirates, Siemens and Unilever.

Based on personal experience and sharing real-world examples, I have a passion for explaining – and overcoming – the limiting beliefs, fixed mindsets and biases that thwart the potential of so many.
