My personalised business mentoring, leadership development and soft skills coaching programmes support leaders with their specific challenges and objectives, and milestone career transition.
Even experienced CEOs can find navigating the demands of business and leadership lonely and isolating. For first-time CEOs, startup founders, or newly appointed C-Suite executives or directors, the challenges of leadership often feel even more overwhelming and stressful:
“… 40% of executives hired at the senior level are pushed out, fail or quit within 18 months. It’s expensive in terms of lost revenue and the individual’s hiring, and it’s damaging to morale.” (*Source below.)
You may be a first-time CEO or startup founder who is building a new and diverse management team. Or perhaps you’re a leader facing challenges that require you to plan and implement significant change. Soft skills coaching can provide the tools to help you deal with these complexities.
You may be a newly appointed C-Suite executive or director who might benefit from a 90-Day Accelerator coaching programme, supporting you throughout the first few months of your new role. Or perhaps you’re a seasoned CEO looking to optimise the value in your business in preparation for a sale, or integrate a recently acquired business.
I’m an experienced CEO, MD, and startup founder myself; I understand the pressures under which senior executives operate. I can be your sounding board and trusted wingman! Here’s a short video about how I can support you:
Who do you confide in when you need to share ideas? Who questions your assumptions and identifies areas for improvement? Who unlocks your potential to achieve your specific business and leadership development goals? That’s where I step in!
