""Extraordinary businesses have extraordinary boards. Understanding the deeper psychology that underpins all of our relationships and the group dynamics at play in our boardroom is essential for long-lasting, meaningful and enjoyable success." 

Some people think that C-Suite coaching is all about performance and driving growth. Other  people prefer to choose coaching which is more about cohesion, collaboration and healthy communication.

​

The truth is, you need both.

​

However, there is a third element that most people never work on.

​

Each individual is bringing their own relational dynamic based on their life story, their beliefs and their conditioned expectations.

​

People are also bringing their deepest existential fears.

​

They are also bringing a whole bunch of compensatory behaviours that may have been very effective at helping them get to this point in life but...

​

These old behaviours will prevent the individual and certainly the team from moving up to the next level. 

​

All too often, people use over working and over-efforting as a way of avoiding their personal challenges. 

​

This is not sustainable. It makes a business brittle. 

​

People burn out. People fall away and more often, people fall out.

​

The wise business knows that our greatest missions and visions are invitations for everyone in that business to lovingly dissolve their difficulties and discover their true greatness.

​

Our challenges are not to be avoided. They are the weights in the character gymnasium of life that help us discover, distill and express our highest potential.

​

The board has to be extraordinary.

​

From there, truly amazing things happen.​ In terms of company profits but also regarding building a truly inspiring, supportive and creative culture within the business.

​

The people grow. The business grows.

​

Every board member must not just be committed to personal growth.

​

They must be excited by it. 

​

Then every meeting, every interaction, every challenge can be seen through the collaborative lens of collective healing, transformation and expression.

​

Everyone in their zone of genius.

​

Everyone out of their own way.

​

Truly working together. 

​

Mind clear. Heart full.

​

Everyone held to account, performing at their very best, taking themselves and the business to the next level with a healthy life balance and huge amounts of satisfaction. 

​

​​

Every business and board is different, so my work with each company is completely bespoke.

​

It can involve any combination of the following approaches:

​​​​

  • Deep psychodynamic work with each board member

  • Group psychodynamic circle sessions

  • Vision and values iteration sessions

  • Creativity enhancement, exploration and iteration sessions

  • Project planning and accountability structure building

  • Unconditional relational practices and processes

  • Training days on leadership, emotional intelligence, communication and productivity

  • Transformational retreats for immersive acceleration

  • Motivational events for whole company enrolment

  • Employee assessment and enrolment programs

  • Employee roll-out training programs
