Coaching for
Leadership Team
Merger & Acquisition
To support the smooth transition of the executive team during a merger, I provided executive coaching to the entire senior executive team. The merger has resulted in a reduction in the number of leaders reporting to the CEO, and therefore for some of my client’s felt limitations had been placed on their influence and responsibility. Initially the focus of the coaching was on career goals and aspirations and suitability for newly allocated roles. As the roll out of the new organisational structure continued, leadership coaching ensured that all leaders felt optimistic about their they ability to achieve success in the future.
At the conclusion of the program the executive team had embraced the new structure and reporting relationships, and many were on or beyond target for the financial year ahead. I has been asked to provide further executive coaching to senior leaders to support the implementation of the second phase of the acquisition.
Local Council
Leadership Development Program
As part of a leadership development program at a rapidly growing local council, I designed a coaching diary and provided individual coaching to eight members of the senior executive team. The focus of the coaching was to raise leadership capability in line with the council’s competency frameworks and to reinforce and personalise the content from the learning modules. On completion of the executive team’s coaching program, based on recommendations from my clients, the CEO selected me as his coach. I continue to provide coaching to newly appointed leaders in this council.
Federal Government Department
Leadership Capability Development
For the past five years, I have provided monthly leadership development coaching for senior executives in a national Government Department in the health services sector. Each coaching program is 2 years in duration, with a focus on the long-term strategic goals of the Department and the individual.
Key issues include: motivating staff, effectively balancing the competing demands of multiple internal and external stakeholders, strategic planning in a political context, and feedback to improve performance.
New clients continue to come from referrals from past clients.
Organisation Transition
Beginning in 2015, to support a social welfare organisation in their transition to the NDIS,
I regularly provide pro-bono leadership coaching to leaders and managers.
During this time, staff wellbeing and engagement have improved significantly.
