What are leaders doing today that stifles creativity, and how can they turn it around?
Back in 2010, when I was just starting my coaching journey, I began seeing how powerful the process was for individuals. I’ve worked with all types of leaders and managers, from underrated heads of finance and recently recruited high potentials, to directors that were heading for burn out.
Watching them grow, develop better habits and improve their relationships is incredible, but what never fails to astound me is the difference those changes can make to the organisation as a whole. It’s a ripple effect that often inspires other members of the team to stand up and seek positive change too.
I’ve seen my clients change their own leadership behaviours and habits, as well as developing the people within their business for the better. It’s always a journey and it’s an absolute privilege to be involved.
