We are former senior executives with outstanding track records as Managing Director / CEO and currently also serve as active non-executive board members. We consider this to be an important part of our coaching proposition and competence, keeping the coaching work “real” and offering a perspective from “the other side of the boardroom table”.
Years in the executive hot seat and thousands of hours around the board table and in coaching discussions gives us a unique blend of experience from a variety of scale and stakeholder environments, from Government to multi-national corporate, to UK Plc, private equity and private / founder owned.
“Ivan has deep experience and insights about what happens in a board room or at the senior echelons of a company. Combining his corporate career experience with coaching credentials allows him to be extremely impactful. Ivan is a first-class listener and cares deeply about helping his clients. He helped me in many areas but his deeply humanistic approach to coaching helping me to manage my emotions and show vulnerability as a leader and take my leadership style to the next level”
— CEO, Financial Technology
“ My coaching sessions with Kate have been transformational in helping me to step up from my peer group into to the role of CEO. Her challenging but reassuring approach enabled me to work through the issues and build confidence in a way that suited my character ”
— CEO, Private Equity Owned Technology firm
“Ivan’s coaching approach has not only enhanced my professional but also my personal life to really challenge my thinking, communication strategies and awareness of my impact and opportunity to deliver wider strategic thinking. His open, honest and challenging approach are deeply engaging and rewardingly eye opening. He has a skill to really push you on your approaches, business relationship and influence. Working with Ivan has significantly moved on my leadership style and widened my vision and opportunity to focus on the real things that matter in leadership.”
