Executive Coaching
My coaching style has largely developed as a result on my 40 years experience in sales, 36 of which within the construction industry and finally as Commercial Operations Director for the UK for a large European Lighting Group.
As an Executive Coach, of course I have empathy, of course I understand the pressures of leadership, dealing with the complexities of modern business. I also understand the compromises we sometimes have to make but I also believe in being straight talking, challenging, uncompromising and direct in leadership, especially at the most senior levels and yes, I'm passionate and direct as a Coach, its how I am!
I want to understand your business, your ethos and build senior leadership teams that communicate and function together, enhancing professionalism, strengthen business and that's where Executive Coaching is so successful at transforming companies!
