HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

  • Growing as a Leader

    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 works with you to improve your self-awareness and ability to self-regulate, and be motivated and accountable for the change you want to make.

  • Accelerated Transitions

    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 or moving onto to a new career, James supports you to accelerate your comfort and value add in your new context, benefitting both you and the firm.

  • Safeguarding Wellbeing

    Being attentive to and proactively managing factors both within and outside 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’.

MY Approach

Coaching is a method for facilitating purposeful positive change. It is a disciplined ‘time-out’ from an individual’s work that gives them the chance to ‘get on the balcony’, reflect on their goals, create meaning and purpose, and commit to action. I work in a collaborative, goal orientated and pragmatic manner to help an individual with a genuine intent to change to understand their desired direction, manage their energy and set clear attainable goals that will work for them, in their context. I also drive accountability within this supportive environment, because while the coach plays the role of facilitator of change, it is the coachee’s responsibility to enact that change.

My coaching methods are focused on awareness creation and achieving success through lasting behaviour change. Through questioning, reframing and offering best practice insights from my experience of working with hundreds of clients, I ensure that an individual’s reflections aren’t confined by their own belief systems & self-limiting thoughts. My coaching approach is founded on the notion that, “First you shape your habits, and then your habits shape you”. Through heightened self-awareness, experimentation with new ways of thinking and behaving, and reflection on the outcomes, I help the coachee apply themselves with more wisdom, insight and balance that will mutually benefit their work, their home life, their community and themselves. In this way they will secure their long-term satisfaction and success.

I will tailor a bespoke response to the needs presented, delivered through 1:1 coaching (whether short term or ongoing) to help an individual being their best everyday with more joy.
