Coaching
Are you a senior executive or non-executive leader? Are you looking for the space to work through the next stage of your journey? Then our coaching service is for you.
​
The coaching process helps you to understand and (re-)set your direction and purpose. Your coach will support your progress by providing motivation, challenge and encouragement. It is an incredibly powerful technique, working with each person's unique set of abilities, 'blockers' and motivators to achieve a sustained shift in behaviour, approach and attitude to identify and achieve what you want.
If you think of the coaching process as a journey, the coach's role is to travel alongside you: helping you to decide where you want or need to go, helping you to plan the route and pack the right kit, and supporting you as you set out. But the journey is always yours, and eventually you will travel it without the need for a coach.
​

Our approach
We start with a free, no-obligation 'discovery session', during which we can get to know each other, explore what coaching can offer and decide whether or not you'd like to go further. If you decide that you'd like to go ahead, Jo will provide a regular, structured space for you to take the time to work on yourself. She will encourage, challenge and support you as you take time to reflect, explore, re-set and re-energise. Sessions will usually take between 1-2 hours and be spread 2-6 weeks apart over a 6 month period. Please get in touch if you'd like to find out more.
Working with Jo
I have led organisations at the most senior levels so I know what it's like - the highs and the lows. Over the last 20 years some great coaches have helped me navigate my leadership - and life - journey. Coaching helped me to step into my first executive role; to lead a successful organisational change and improvement programme, and to change direction in 2020 by moving on from being a CEO to develop a new portfolio career. I have since qualified as an International Coaching Federation approved coach, and I work with senior clients (executive, non-executive and aspirational) to help them achieve similar break-throughs. My style has been described as warm, engaging and energetic, and I would love to hear from you if you think you would enjoy working with me.
