As a corporate coach, I view my role as a change agent supporting individuals and their teams to create sustained behavioural change in a way that's aligned to organisational strategy.

Coaching models I use frequently include appreciative inquiry, reflective coaching and goal setting theory. Organisational diagnostic frameworks I find particularly helpful are the McKinsey 7 S model and Kotter’s 8-step change model.

Always, there is a focus on coaching adding value to the organisation and the coaching client.

Coaching has significant impact at different career stages.

As an individual contributor coaching is powerful for:

• Individual transformation - Changing mindset for success e.g. client and practice development, Motivating and engaging team members
• Organisational transformation - Impacting and influencing organizational culture through e.g. intergrating a high-performance culture, creating effective and strong leadership
