Executive Coaching
- Coaching for Leadership: One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear relates to an executive that is seen as technically strong, but has one or more ‘leadership’ or ‘stylistic’ traits that are holding them back, or diminishing their effectiveness. Coaching for Leadership is a 6-mth engagement, which seeks to achieve pre-agreed goals and positive change focused upon leadership effectiveness. It includes a stakeholder feedback exercise and has the option of adding additional psychometric tools. Close engagement and progress feedback to sponsoring manager/s is an important component.
- New Leader Transition Coaching: “Set up for Success”. Arguably, one of the most challenging and stressful periods in an executive’s career comes when they move into a challenging new role. New Leader Transition Coaching is designed to set them up for success and facilitate a strong start in the new role. It takes the new leader through progressive stages of assimilation and addresses ongoing sustainability. It culminates by providing detailed feedback and go-forward action plans. Close engagement and progress feedback to sponsoring manager/s is an important component.
- HR Head (or HR Senior) Coaching and Mentoring: With decades of experience operating at the most senior levels in almost every facet of the HR function, PCL is well placed to coach and mentor in this space, and focus upon how to make the HR Head/HR Senior, or the total HR function as effective and aligned to the needs of the firm as possible.
(Note: All coaching can be undertaken virtually if preferred)
New Leader Assimilation (NLA)
This process is designed to enhance and speed the effective assimilation of a newly appointed leader into their role. NLA’s are facilitated sessions designed to provide new leaders (4-6mths in role) with comprehensive, non-attributed feedback from their team, and go-forward action plans. Ideally these are run in-person, but where this is not possible, a virtual feedback session can be run yielding the same results.
Leadership Development
Something that was consistently reinforced to me during my corporate career, and again more recently in my coaching practice, is the incredibly positive impact of good leadership. This remains a topic I feel very passionate about.
I am excited to announce that I have teamed up with three close friends and colleagues, Sara Roberts, Michelle Woolven (whom I have each known for more than 20 years), and Dagmar Schmidmaier AM to launch "The Thinking Leadership Group".
Sara comes from a long career with Citi, where she most recently ran Talent, Learning and DEI for the large Asia Pacific region, and more recently as Principal of Kettlewell Consulting. Sara is based in Singapore.
Michelle was most recently with Chief Executive Women (CEW), where she worked for fourteen years, and was instrumental in managing their highly respected Womens Leadership Program.
Dagmar has an incredible career spanning corporate leadership roles, academia and has up to mid-2021 been a leading light within CEW. She brings extraordinary breadth and depth of expertise to The Thinking Leadership Group.
Michelle, Dagmar and I are based in Sydney.
The Thinking Leadership Group will combine our collective diverse experiences. We are launching various leadership development offerings to the Australia and Asia markets, starting with a highly practical and engaging Women's Leadership Development Program. Please keep an eye out for further details, or do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
