Perhaps some of the following resonate with you?
- You are considered to be technically brilliant and/or have significant knowledge and expertise and yet progression eludes you in the leadership arena
- You really want to take the next leadership step but feel held back by yourself and are experiencing self doubt. You are not pushing yourself forward and potentially missing out on opportunities
- When you reflect on your career and indeed your life, there is one thing that has always held you back and if you could crack that, it will be life changing.
- You believe that to be a successful leader you need to be completely different to who you really are at your core.
- To be more successful you need to get better at influencing
- You are working increasingly longer hours with little recognition and indeed balance with your home life
- You have little quality time with the people who are most important to you as well as looking after yourself well
- You sometimes feel out of control of everything you are juggling
- Success in life is important to you and incorporates both professional and personal success
- You don’t feel that you can bring your whole self to work and its hard work and draining putting on a ‘front’ to be something you aren’t at work
- You aren’t sure what your next step should be. A next step that will really excite you and where you feel you are living true to your purpose
We work with Senior Leaders who want to be even more successful with life and career fulfilment.
People we typically work with:
- Have ambition to be personally and professionally successful
- Keen to develop the best authentic version of themselves and are achievement oriented
- Need to inspire and influence others
- Proactive and action oriented
- Like evidence based coaching i.e. rationale for things
- Development of their missing piece to the jigsaw, be that the emotional/empathic/emotional intelligence input or the reflective rational piece
- Aspire to be an exceptional leader - a balanced and well rounded leader
- Keen to develop positive connected relationships with peers and direct reports
- Enhance their communication, self esteem and productivity
Our philosophy (and borne out by 1000’s of clients) is that being a truly authentic leader who:
- Has high emotional intelligence
- Lives life on purpose and with passion
- Has unwavering values grounded by integrity and trust
- Develops deeply connected relationships
Is the best way to lead a successful, truly authentic and fulfilling life which benefits and inspires both the individual, his/her teams and other significant relationships.
What we do - Our approach is based on 4 key steps:
- Explore - to initially identify with you/ your team/ organisation what is ‘missing’ or the enhancement needed to enable you/ the team/ the organisation to be your best and achieve even more.
- Inspiring goals and objectives – to develop inspiring goals and objectives to achieve this and a plan of action
- Implementation – working flexibly to achieve the goals and objectives
- Evaluation – evaluating your / your team's success to date and what else you need to constantly be the best you can be
How we do it -
We achieve our excellent results with our transformational individual and team executive coaching as well as our inspiring leadership programmes.
With our Executive coaching programmes our style is to be challenging supportive and results oriented.
Ruth,
"Once again thank you for all your support over recent months... I genuinely feel I have moved forward both professionally and personally based upon
your guidance and council ... thank you!
As a Senior Manager within HSBC with over twenty years experience I started the programme with a degree of scepticism. What can a professional
coach offer me that I am not already getting from my line manager? Ruth has the ability to see inside the person by understanding what makes people
tick both in a professional and personal sense. Over the twelve months, I saw genuine changes in both my performance and personal fulfilment in my
role. Ruth challenges based upon understanding your goals and how you see your own performance against these measures. Here insights into how we
think, act and rationalise made the direct impact to the choices I made on a day to day basis. By establishing good habits, I have made a step change
and set a clear path for my future career and personal well being."
I have thought long and hard about additional feedback ... I am honestly not backward at coming forward normally so please do not take my null
response as apathy. Not sure how I would suggest you improve.

On our leadership programs we believe that interactive and experiential learning is key. The essence of our approach is to support people to ‘feel’ and engage rather than passively listen to input.
I’m aware that I’m in danger of sounding melodramatic, but my time with Ruth has been truly life changing. Her coaching style of taking the time to understand you, listening, advising and encouraging you to delve deeper into how and why you are really feeling as you are, has meant that I have learnt so much more about myself, what gives me energy, where my strengths/areas to develop are and therefore how I can get the best out of myself, other people around me and situations. From useful quick tips that I use almost every day to longer term goal planning, Ruth has helped me step on my behaviours significantly particularly in the areas of confidence and holding difficult conversations. I would whole heartedly recommend Ruth.

We operate very much from the ‘adult to adult’ viewpoint and create an environment which is confidential, encourages openness and gives permission for individuals to challenge, experiment and adapt behaviours in themselves and their teams.
With action planning as a key outcome, our focus is around taking personal accountability with a drive to support participants to think, act and BE different.
