Celebrating a milestone as coaching supervisor

This morning I’m celebrating my final Level 7 coursework submission in Coaching Supervision with the Academy of Leadership & Management. A great milestone after working as a coaching supervisor for 18 months… yet the learning never ends 🌳

“The best training I’ve ever attended”

Want to develop your human leadership and engagement skills? Last week a senior leader told us this was the best training he had ever attended. Interested? Read on.

Mutual learning in practice

I am writing this having just wrapped up my first leadership development programme of the year for a major aircraft manufacturer. What clearly dropped out for me this week is the necessary dance between leaders and facilitators where each of us are learning from each other. Time and again, I see that the best leadersContinue reading “Mutual learning in practice”

On mutual learning

Yay! I just submitted a 20,000 word assignment reflecting on my work through the lenses of adult learning, humanistic psychology and systemic thinking. Most inspiring here is that I have come to fully realise that my ongoing learning is a necessary condition for helping my clients learn and grow, too. As a coach, facilitator andContinue reading “On mutual learning”

Back to school

I’m excited to embark on a postgraduate certification for coaching supervisors 🌻🌳 🕺🏻💃🏻 More than just coaching the coach, supervision is a practice informed by systemic thinking and is common in all helping professions.

The slides are a collection of deliberately half-baked ideas, heldContinue reading “Maturing as a human coach: beyond models and AI”

For this workshop I had designed a back-facing map navigation challenge to practice communication and collaboration with incomplete information, learning about the dangers of unspoken assumptions and diverse interpretations. Another activity turned theContinue reading “Human skills in a multidisciplinary world”

Happy New Year!

Normally I don’t do new year’s resolutions but this year my plan is to *NOT* read any books! I will no longer seek to consume ever more content on business, leadership, or coaching. Instead, I will continue to learn by doing. I will deliver more executive coaching, leadership programmes, and team workshops. And for anyContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

Simple questions for meaningful reflection

The end of the year is always a good time to reflect, look back and plan ahead. To this end I have compiled a guide of reflective questions that you may find useful. Whether you want to take stock of your career, leadership journey or life at large, there’s a wide and eclectic range ofContinue reading “Simple questions for meaningful reflection”
