"Helping Leaders, Teams & Coaches Unlock Their Potential"

Leadership Coaching

Leadership coaching is a process that aims to help leaders, like yourself, improve performance, develop new skills and achieve their goals. It is particularly valuable during career transitions, such as promotions, transfers, changes in role, company or country. Coaching is different for everyone and customised to your specific needs and objectives. Past clients have focused on some of the following topics, as an example:

Self-awareness: Helping you gain better insights into your strengths, weaknesses, blind spots and opportunities, so you can leverage these more effectively. This can involve tools such as personality assessments, MBTI, 360-degree feedback, Motivational Maps and self-reflection exercises.
Goal setting: Identifying, clarifying and communicating your personal and professional goals, both short-term and long-term. During times of transition, these can focus on personal life, individual professional goals, developing your team and impact on the broader organisation.
Leadership development: Enhance your leadership skills, such as communication, feedback, delegation, storytelling, decision-making, and conflict resolution. My expertise in delivering leadership development programmes to global corporates and the NHS enables deep dives into any of these areas.
Strategy and planning: Help develop and execute strategic plans, focusing on areas such as organizational change, culture, innovation, and growth. My passion for culture change is often utilised here.
Time management: Help prioritize time and manage workload more effectively as you progress through the Leadership Transitions and need to deliver value in different ways.
Emotional intelligence (EQ): As EQ becomes more and more critical, I can help with developing your emotional intelligence skills, such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.
Work-life balance: As work demands evolve and change, your work-life balance shifts and it can be helpful to identify strategies to manage stress, maintain boundaries, and pursue personal goals outside of work.

Client Feedback

Machico - Ange's coaching sessions not only helped me to organize my thoughts, but provoked me to think more deeply on what I could do differently towards improving the situation in question. I always walk out of her sessions feeling better and more confident about myself professionally which is my biggest takeaway from having a coach like her

Kieron - I have had the pleasure of having Angela as a coach and mentor for a few years, and I can attest to the indelible impact it has had on my career. Her approach is warm and informal, with a real knack for helping you to see through the "noise" and identify ways in which to tackle tricky strategic challenges or team dynamics

Hasan - I have gone from marketing novice to to a global director in a relatively short space of time, and I am in no doubt that this path has been significantly supported by Angela's expertise

Emma - Angela has helped me in cultivating an open culture in my team, where people feel psychologically safe to speak up and challenge the norms. Emma
