The successful leader recognizes they cannot lead alone. The manager of a business, leader of a complex organisation, a world class athlete; and yet it can be lonely. With even the highest performing team it is ultimately the leader who carries the final decision.

The opportunity to un-pack complex burdens and practice a renewed approach; a chance to learn in relationship with a trained coach whose “stranger value” brings challenge and understanding of the leader’s world. Coaching raises self-awareness and by working towards focused and relevant goals, enables the realization of professional success and personal fulfillment.

The experience of and approaches taken by Kirsty Leishman and Steve Rawson provide a blueprint for a practical and forward thinking learning experience. With the skill and expertise of trained coaches, both Steve and Kirsty cause individuals to translate key development issues into
goal-defined coaching programmes that emerge as a result of:

• A primary desire on the coachee’s part to commit to this learning journey.
• A positive coach-coachee relationship.
• Agreed goals and outcomes that integrate performance and learning objectives.
• Attention paid to personal values, principles and style.
• A clearly contracted working relationship that defines boundaries and expectations.
