Coaching helps you build skills, increase your confidence, and improve your performance in your role. It can support you too:

• Identify strategies to tackle challenges

• Better navigate organisational systems

• Actively manage and plan your career

• Assess options and make informed career decisions

At its core, coaching is about taking ownership of your development. The coach supports this through structured questions, reflection, and feedback – helping you challenge assumptions and find your own solutions.

Our coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based methods drawn from leadership development, positive psychology, and adult learning theory. Sessions are goal-focused, tailored to your context, and built around a collaborative partnership between you and your coach.

Coaching is not the same as mentoring, supervision, teaching or counselling. It is a future-focused, strengths-based process that supports you to clarify what matters most and take purposeful steps forward.

Leadership coaching is a tailored mix of ‘pure’ coaching and leadership development education. Coaching provides a provide a safe and supportive place to discuss issues and challenges in your professional life in a secure and confidential space. In coaching the goals and agenda of the session is set by the client; and the coaching conversation method provides a process to expand thinking and understanding, through talking, questions, reflections and making associations.

Leadership coaching brings a sharpened focus to this work by directing attention to the leadership roles and leadership work doctors do alongside their clinical and technical work, and where the coach can also take up a training and education role at times to draw on leadership concepts and skills to support effective leadership practice as and when it is meaningful and appropriate in the conversation.
