what we do | HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Performance Coaching for leaders & Executives
For CEOs, Managing Directors, and senior leadership.
Growing as a leader is the ability to see patterns of behaviour in yourself that are no longer serving you, managing them, and overcoming them so you have more choice about how you perform in any given situation. James helps you to get off the dance floor of daily challenges and competing demands, to reflect on what truly matters to you, improve your self-awareness and ability to self-regulate around that vision, and be motivated and accountable to become the best version of yourself.
CAREER TRANSITION COACHING
For leaders stepping into new roles or board-level positions.
By identifying and managing the essential success factors and key risks associated with transitioning into a new role, whether that be a promotion, appointment to a new leadership position of moving onto a new career, James supports you to accelerate your comfort and value-add in your new context, benefitting both you and the firm.
LEADERSHIP WELLBEING & RESILIENCE COACHING
For sustained high performance and life balance.
Being attentive to and proactively managing factors both within and outside of your control that can lead you to becoming dysregulated and potentially distressed are key to remaining safe and sane in all aspects of your life. James will work with you to identify your specific wellbeing needs and make sure you are able to ‘put on your own oxygen mask first’.
