Measurable performance improvement

My confidence in my ability to perform my leadership role, and succeed in it, has increased dramatically. I now feel better able to prioritise, identify what change has to happen, and transform key aspects of how we as a department work together.

Other leadership activities focus on self-awareness, but the coaching has focused on both self-awareness and a better understanding of what you need to do and give others as a leader in order to unlock the performance you need.

I wanted particularly to focus on my resilience as a leader and we did so in a challenging but supportive way which allowed me to take a new perspective and to focus on strategies that I will and have used in the workplace. The sessions were enjoyable and constructive, with plenty of interaction and discussion.

The tools you are given in leadership programmes are usually focused on work, but these tools can be used in every situation. You've given me a much more positive way of being.

This has been a great opportunity for managers to self-evaluate, to improve themselves and get the best out of their teams. I will use all the tools I've learnt to create a positive work environment which encourages the progression and flourishing of staff.

Through our coaching sessions, we created the time and space, in a natural and unforced way, for me to be able to reflect on both my future direction and current performance as a leader, and to move to resolve blockers that were holding me back. The sections were constructive, organic and responsive.
