It's easy to forget that we spend over a third of our week at work, and as we spend almost another third sleeping, you can see how being happy and productive at work is important.  But we sometimes neglect to put the effort in to building strong relationships with our peers, our teams and our stakeholders. This places pressure on ourselves and in turn adds to stress, anxiety, low motivation and high levels of frustration. Here's the thing, if I was to ask you what a Sales Director, Marketing Director, Production Manager, Team Leader, CEO, production assistant, engineer, etc... does for the business, you would be able to list quite confidently their focus and responsibility. Now, if I ask you, what makes them tick?, what motivates them?, what value do they add to the team or business? its a much harder question to answer. Not because we are critical of their performance but because we generally don't concern ourselves with another employees motivation or personality. High pe...

I n an increasingly globalised and interconnected marketplace, the private, public, charitable and creative sectors must cultivate leaders who are visible, and who can deal with change quickly and calmly. It’s not just leaders – talented professionals at all levels need to be resilient yet adaptable in a rapidly changing world. Truly forward looking, insightful leaders will know how to bring out the exceptional qualities of their personnel and their organisations; these qualities include accountability, transparency in communications, and the ability to  foster confidence and clarity in group operations. Not surprisingly, organisations led by such leaders are the most “engaged” and motivated whether the sector private or public, education, health or financial services.  Against a back-drop where responsive and empathetic leadership is more crucial than ever, executive coaching has flourished. This is particularly the case where the coach assigned can offer an expert view of ho...

Executive coaching may be regarded differently by different people. While there may still be some people for whom the concept of “coaching” may carry connotations of remediation, for the most part, this outdated idea has fallen by the wayside. Executive coaching is assisting top executives, managers, and other identified leaders to perform, learn, stay healthy and balanced, and effectively guide their teams to successfully reach desired goals and exceed individual and corporate expectations. Enabling leaders to unlock and unleash their full-potential so they bring greater value and abundance to the people and entities they serve. When today’s executive decides on executive coaching for themselves or perhaps it is recommended by the Board of Directors (in the case of a CEO), the connotations are almost always positive.
