Testimonials

I just wanted to thank you so much for your amazing work that I was lucky enough to do with you.When I came to you for executive coaching, I was feeling anxious, stressed and had lost my self-belief and self confidence in my professional position in context to some poor workplace treatment/team culture. I cannot thank you enough for the education, counselling, coaching you supported me with, and the way you helped me identify my natural talents, and reinforced that I am a highly professional, and passionate person. You identified areas that I could adjust in my communication style which helped me maintain my own anxieties, subsequently, be the best professional version of myself in my workplace.It was my goal to improve my corporate image and be heard more clearly at a senior management level. You helped my build up my self-confidence again, own my ideas, not be afraid to speak openly. You reinforced strategies on how to respond to difficult workplace behaviour so that it did not impact my wellbeing or my work performance.Most importantly, you reminded my to stay true and anchored to my value set which has been instrumental in my success and professional development. I am now “being heard and respected” by my colleagues particularly at a senior management level”. And I now, thanks to you….”have a seat at the table”.

Many thanks,

Jo

itSMF ACT Virtual State Event

Hi Sarah, I had completed the course a few weeks ago and wanted to send a thank you note. I took a few weeks between session two and three to really hone in on my behaviour, journal my behaviour and feelings (or shields shall we say). I felt that this reflection really helped me recognize these shields. Better yet by recognizing them in real time and remembering what I was learning helped me take control of the shields, some more than others. Now I need to continue to practice this in my day to day and find a rhythm with working through the emotions, recognizing the situation, what shield I am projecting and reaching a healthier reaction. Perhaps I can do this reflection monthly. Thanks again for this opportunity and sharing it with the world!

a huge THANK YOU for the insights you provided to my CINC Group in your “Elephant in the Room’ presentation this morning. We are all extremely grateful to you for giving us your time and we really value the suggestions & ideas that you communicated throughout the presentation, both in individual coping mechanisms and also in how to initiate conversations with others on how they are coping. We all feel much better armed in the event that we find ourselves in such a situation.

Business and
Leadership

For Leaders and Business

The global pandemic is forcing leaders to redefine themselves. It’s pivot or peril. Clearly, tomorrow’s leaders are agile. They know that the future of management means investing in the relationship economy today.

But changes to your team’s roles, responsibilities, and even work locations have caused stress. Stress causes strain on what matters: people. The bottom line is good relationships fuel physical and emotional wellbeing, a sustainable work culture, and healthy revenue growth that keep customers coming back.

Become a humanistic leader. Humanistic leaders are appropriately vulnerable and have a genuine desire to connect with their teams – and themselves. They nourish talent. They build effective business frameworks and smash their targets.

They pivot, and they thrive.

Is your team worth the investment? Are you?
If the answer is yes, let’s start a conversation.

• If you are a CEO, let us start a conversation on your own CEO Development Plan.
• If you are a business owner, how about a Business Growth Plan to check where you are headed?
• Thinking of growing? Let’s talk about a Business Accelerator Program.
• Had enough and want out? Maybe a Change Management Plan.

• Maybe its time you looked at getting in a couple of advisors to help? A Board Starter Program could suit you.
• That’s why I love offering what I do. I have the toolkit and experience to guide you. Oh, and with no judgment.
• The control remains with you. The commitment level is yours to decide and we have the FREEDOM IN A FRAMEWORK, to go wherever you need.
• Interested yet? Drop me an email and I can send you some info to help you determine what you want, and need.

Empathic Teams and
Smart Cultures Workshops

Teams are dynamic opportunities for growth and the individual mindsets play an integral part in that experience. Yet finding the balance in a team can prove to be difficult for many businesses as they grow. Professional development for your teams creates an emotional energy, connects them with each other and the larger organizations, uncovers blindposts before they become psychological injuries and resets the team temperature with exciting and onboarding of employees.

Culture can flow top down or bottom up depending on the size and dynamics of each business. A true culture embraces individuality and celebrates the diversity each employee can bring while driving a collective mission and value set forward.

“Quality outcomes and culture shows that adopting a quality culture and capabilities is closely correlated with quality performance (Embedding ‘smart quality’ culture and capabilities in the organization, McKinsey report)

Embracing a smart culture prepares your organization for future discord, builds adaptability, connection and inclusivity. Booking a culture check to see where you stand and where your business really is from a cultural perspective can protect your empire from collapsing and build strong foundations to weather the financial and environmental storms ahead.

Become a divergent leader.

What does it mean to lead? The pace has quickened, and it’s easier than ever to lose your leading edge. But with the right coach, marching to the beat of your own drum while staying ahead of the game is possible. From start-up to CEO, learn how you can achieve sustainable success while nurturing the relationships that nurture you. Lead and succeed on your terms now.

A divergent leader follows many approaches to their leadership side, looking to empower their teams to thrive. Divergent leaders are interested in the ‘what’ rather than the ‘why’, observing the people around them for hidden capabilities and potential. Divergent leaders are connected, strong, empathic mentors embracing the challenges of working with people to drive profits and success higher. These types of leaders have a thirst for understanding themselves at a deeper conscious level realizing as they grow and develop their mindset, the positive domino effect on their lives and business continues. Not happy to sit on their laurels, they buck the trend of less insightful self development the higher they climb on the ladder to success.

This is a unique take on the kind of personal development Melbourne is probably used to. It has been designed to help you unpack the stuff that has you stuck, review and re-learn communicating and conversation abilities and check in on your personal growth and esteem. Time to discard all those useless versions of self you’ve been carrying around and embrace a stronger, wiser and more successful you.

These personal coaching sessions are suitable for all individuals seeking personal coaching in Melbourne to enhance and build on past skills and future potential. That includes those people moving career paths or who feel stuck in careers; people in relationships that need revitalising; people in positions of change in their lives and many more. Clients who have used this service include business leaders, senior management, CEO’s and organisation management or owners, sole traders, artists, musicians, athletes and actors.

My style of life coaching (although I prefer to call it coaching psychology as we dig in deep), is focused on developing your emotional intelligence to enable you to set the goals, jump the hurdles and move those mountains. Your need is greater fulfillment, and we work together to clarify your goals, identify the obstacles holding you back, and then come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle.

What it isn’t, is a substitute for psychological therapy. I do that in my other job.

Self Awareness Coaching

Becoming self-aware is next level coaching. It is in the internalising of the subconscious awakening that comes from putting fear and judgment aside.

We can look beyond the reflection in the mirror of what we want to see and take the risk to go behind the self-image we have carefully cultivated.

It is in this shadow we can discover the endless potential, the humanity and the parts locked away from the world (and often ourselves).

Here lies our authenticity, our courage and the future self-emergence to be who we should and always could have been.

Our intentions become clearer to those around us. We have the capability of seeing each moment, relationship, and interaction from an abundance of viewpoints. In business and in leadership, awareness is the key to high performance, decision agility and personal and professional growth. Awareness sets us free from our own hidden agendas, judgments, biases and assumptions that hold us back from love, success and peace in our lives.

We learn the skill of understanding how others really see us-from partners and friends, to workplaces and beyond.

Your journey to self-awareness begins here with me or online.

If you’re highly self-aware, you can objectively evaluate yourself, manage your emotions, align your behaviour with your values, and understand correctly how others perceive you.” (A Theory of Objective Self Awareness by Shelley Duval and Robert Wicklund (1972)
