Professional 1-1 coaching for those who want more

The length of a coaching engagement will vary depending on your goals and needs. Typically, clients see significant benefits within just a few months of regular sessions. However, some clients choose to continue coaching longer to support ongoing growth and development. I recommend a minimum of 3 coaching sessions.

I provide 1-1 and team coaching around career development, small business ownership, and leaders and executives gain more clarity and confidence. My approach is always tailored to meet your unique needs, but uses a Solution Focussed approach to help you achieve specific goals and make substantial improvements in your professional relationships and work.

Increased self-awareness, improved communication skills, enhanced decision-making abilities, and greater professional performance are common outcomes. Clients often report better relationships, more balanced lives, and a clearer sense of direction.

Coaching is a highly collaborative process. To start we’ll clarify your goals, identify obstacles, and create actionable strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Our sessions can be conducted over the phone, via video call, or in person, depending on your preference and location.

No, an agile coach is not the same as a career or business coach. A career or business coach helps anyone develop a clear idea of what they want and the steps they need to take to achieve their goals. An agile coach works to align leaders and their teams with agile principles, which focus on continuous improvement and delivering value to customers quickly.

Coaching and consulting are two different approaches to the challenge of helping an organisation achieve business agility. As an agile consultant I typically help leaders develop an agile strategy, and co-create a roadmap to implement change. I will then partner with internal people to take ownership and start to deliver the roadmap. As an agile coach I typically support co-ordinating and operational teams and individuals to continuously improve with the use of empirical data, facilitation and targeted support.

An agile consultant specialises in implementing and optimising business Agility practices within organisations. They help businesses improve efficiency, enhance collaboration, and deliver high-quality products or services to customers in a more consistent, predictable and effective way. As a consultant I have extensive case studies across many different organisations and sectors including FMCG, Finance, Retail, Government, Space & Publishing. Whilst the context varies, the business challenges are often common. I bring a depth of knowledge and experience to every consulting engagement, helping you benefit from previous engagements, but always with a tailored approach.

I like to consider operational, co-ordinating and strategic areas of an organisation. Rarely is positive lasting change going to happen, in any one of these levels alone. As such, typically my work includes aspects of value stream mapping, lean portfolio management, scrum and kanban. These are highly visual methods that bring clarity and focus to business processes. Mapping out the current and future states helps leaders and teams to find the most efficient way through.

Business agility is widely recognised as being a catalyst for helping teams and organisations achieve their goals. However, the skill and experience of the internal staff doesn’t always match this ambition. Having an external agile consultant to support your teams and leadership can accelerate measurable results, because of the knowledge and experience they have to offer.
