Practical insight
What to expect from a coaching conversation
A useful conversation starts with a shared understanding of what you are there to explore.
Stepping into a new leadership role
Before proving yourself, take time to understand the role you have actually entered.
Preparing for a difficult conversation
Clarity about your purpose can leave more room for the other person’s perspective.
Coaching or mentoring: what support are you seeking?
The label matters less than a clear agreement about how you will work together.
Turning personal values into meaningful goals
A value becomes easier to work with when you can recognise it in an ordinary day.
Preparing for your first coaching conversation
A few notes can help you arrive with something concrete, without turning preparation into another task to perfect.
Organisational values, in everyday practice
A statement on the wall is a starting point. The useful question is what happens in the room.
Supporting people through organisational change
A plan can describe what is changing without explaining what it means to the people involved.
What quality looks like in a coaching relationship
Credentials are useful context. Your questions about the actual working relationship matter too.
Making space for supervision
Professional reflection includes the practitioner, not only the question a client brings.
What is on your mind?
A question is a good place to start. Share a little about your situation and the support you are looking for.
