One To One Executive Coaching
Executive coaching dramatically enhances individual performance by deepening awareness of strengths, style and blockers.
As a senior executive, working life can be challenging and isolated. Pressure from senior management and shareholders combines with day-to-day business challenges to create significant areas of responsibility.
Natalie’s own experience in senior roles allows her to empathise with these challenges and help uncover solutions.
The Process
Finding The Right Fit
Because coaching is used for many different reasons individual to each coachee, it’s important to thoroughly explore the coaching context before committing, to ensure the connection is right for you and us. We offer no-commitment chemistry calls which ensure chemistry and an understanding of expectations.
Getting Started
Once coaching is underway, it starts by exploring goals and prioritises and developing a personalised coaching plan. This provides direction and focus throughout the engagement.
Listening
The coach listens to what is being said – and not said – and pays particular attention to body language. This focused attention can be liberating for the coachee, and often simply talking out loud helps clarify their thinking.
Exploration
Feedback helps deepen self-awareness, and through shared insights and observations the coach ‘holds a mirror up’, helping to reveal the behaviours that are standing in the way of effective leadership.
Action & Review
A variety of techniques allow coachees to experiment with new styles and behaviours, and help the coachee get comfortable with change before they take it back to the real world. Each session ends with commitment to practise new skills and start to embed new habits.
Testimonials
“Natalie has oodles of wisdom and an expansive knowledge of life, business, and the corporate world. This makes her a phenomenal support for leaders.”
”With an idea for a product post research and development phase I was ready to go to consumer market testing. My challenge was shaping it, preparing my go-to-market strategy and finding industry partners in what was a slow moving and traditional industry. Natalie quickly understood the product and the market and helped me with product development, the business plan and fund pitch preparation.”
“Natalie is a rare combination of laser sharp acumen and practical, outcome-oriented mentality. Professional and efficient management of disparate intellectual challenges and personalities, as well as an ability to isolate the salient points of a discussion and shepherd a team to the right conclusions.”
“Natalie adds value with her natural ability to cut through complexity and see things simply. She has a talent for dealing with people directly and authentically.”
”Natalie got me thinking more deeply about my new and complex role, my leadership style and the relationships I needed to work on. She equipped me with useful techniques for breaking down problems and was an important sounding board for what was an isolated position. She helped me navigate sensitive and tense conversations, thinking through challenges and giving me the confidence to tackle them in my own way, so I could make the right impact at a really formative time in the new job”
“I loved Natalie’s style, she used different tools and techniques that I had not experienced before and it felt different. It made our experience more memorable and easy to bring back into my day-to-day practice.”
“A great mix of theory, group discussions and practical breakout session. Natalie’s years of experience set her apart from coaches who base their session on more academics.”
“Natalie was exceptional in pinpointing the content and the pace needed for our very demanding audience, sharing her experience in key areas. The results and feedback were at the top of the scale for our organisation.”
