WHY CHOOSE 1-2-1 COACHING?
Outstanding leaders never stop learning. Executive coaching can be one of the most focused and effective support mechanisms available. Maybe you have a new job, a change of strategy, complex stakeholders, a team to develop, tough targets, or just want to be an even more effective leader. By learning how you’re wired and how others see you, surprising choices will emerge. Working confidentially with a challenging and skilled coach, you will push yourself to excel

• Are you ready and hungry for a change?
• Would you like to really show up at work, and present your best self as often as possible? • Have you lost some direction in what you are focusing on or is a lack of confidence holding you back professionally? • Do you need to take on a new challenging role with increased responsibilities? • Do you need to develop a new capability or take a new approach? • Are you working across complex cultural regions with diverse stakeholders? • Are you leading a team that needs to be highly performing? |
1-2-1 COACHING STEPS
Working together with Anna as your coach will be an inspiring journey of development and discovery with depth and breadth.
Each coaching assignment will be uniquely personal, but will follow a similar approach
Each coaching assignment will be uniquely personal, but will follow a similar approach
|
1. A complimentary initial conversation to explore together how coaching could be relevant to your situation and needs, what you would want to achieve and to explore our mutual commitment to work together |
|
2. A contracting and goal setting session to explore both the coaching outcomes with key measures of success in addition to our commitment to working together as a partnership |
|
3. Triad with the coaching sponsor and/or line manager to headline the approach and focus of the coaching. To ensure support from and integration with the organisation whilst at the same time ensuring the confidentiality between coach and coachee. The impact of coaching is greatly enhanced when the broader business context is fully understood and factored into the work and the coaching goals are aligned with the business strategy |
|
4. A discovery session exploring the key influences, patterns, trends and role models which have got you to where you are today. Charting any journey involves first understanding where you are starting from. The intent is to unearth the best possible available data. For an individual this could also mean diagnostic interviews and 360 feedback with key stakeholders and or a leadership profiling report to determine your preferred style of working |
|
5. A series of 1-2-1 coaching exploration sessions to work through key questions, explore insights and to focus on the relevant coaching outcomes. The number of sessions will vary according to coaching goals and your needs |
|
6. In the spirit of partnership and to achieve transformational change, I provide unlimited telephone and email support between coaching sessions, as well as the most effective and relevant models, frameworks, articles, publications and other reading material to assist you in achieving your coaching outcomes |
|
7. Closing session to review the journey of discovery and insight and to focus on a clear commitment to action with the identification of a dynamic and living plan with the appropriate support |
|
8. Closing triad and review with the organisation and sponsor to ensure progress and plans can be incorporated into the business |

WHAT YOU WILL NEED AND WHAT IS EXPECTED
|
OPENNESS
Be ready for feedback, ambiguity, new ideas and be ready to challenge some of your existing assumptions and beliefs HONESTY Be ready to share what is really going on for you, what you know and what you don’t know, what inspires you, what holds you back PREPARATION Be prepared for our coaching sessions together; identify the real questions that are on your mind; create the time and headspace for further reflection around the coaching sessions; be disciplined to review patterns of behaviour and progress made; come prepared to share what has surfaced |
COMMITMENT
Stay committed to the journey and to the coaching programme. Make sure you can allow the coaching to have priority despite the predictable day to day work demands and priorities. Set aside time beyond the scheduled coaching sessions. The work of transformation will lie with you and therefore finding the time to reflect and take on assignments and experiments in between coaching sessions will enrich the experience
PATIENCE
Change of any sort takes time and practise. Learning new habits is not simply a question of willpower and intellect. Instead you will need to give yourself the time and space to experiment, as well as being open to not always getting it right the first time you try
