Do you want to be more effective at work? Do you have specific goals you want to achieve in your present role?

Unlock and maximise your performance and potential with our Executive Coaching.

Do you, or someone in your team or organisation, need an effective approach to achieving work-related goals?

Having a focussed approach to achieving our goals at work can give us the motivation to achieve great things. Working with a professional executive coach can really make a difference to getting to where you want to be in your work performance.

The sort of goals addressed can include:

  • Understanding individual strengths and development needs

  • Presenting effectively

  • Improving communication

  • Managing imposter syndrome

  • Building confidence and self-esteem

  • Managing difficult people

  • Being more efficient at work

  • Building work relationships

How it works

A typical format for our Executive Coaching is between two and six meetings of 90 minutes.

In the initial session, we define goals we will work on together. For individuals, we would agree this with you and Diana. For organisations, the initial meeting can sometimes include your manager. In this three-way meeting, we would agree goals to be achieved.

Psychological models and coaching methodologies

In our Executive Coaching, we use a range of psychological models and coaching methodologies, including:

Strengths-Focused Coaching: more powerful than focusing on weaknesses, it aims to identify and unlock your strengths, boost motivation, reduce stress and build energy for work.

Cognitive Behavioural Coaching: our thoughts and feelings influence how we act, so uncovering and understanding them can be useful when dealing with issues such as stress or procrastination at work.

Goal-Directed Coaching: having a goal to work towards can affect our behaviour positively. If we don’t know where we are going, we’ll not know how to get there or when we’ve arrived.

Solution-Focused Coaching: we look at problem-solving and decision-making: what to do next, and how to do it, and consider solutions to these problems.

Neuroscience: we work with emotions and thoughts that underpin behaviours. Only through understanding what is really going on in one’s mind can change be achieved.

Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy: this can be a powerful way of overcoming obstacles, such as presentation nerves or to build self-confidence.
