Executive and Senior Leadership Coaching
Al's leadership coaching is designed to be wholistic, taking into account the leader in the context of how they work and live, as well as their role from requirements regarding vision and strategy, financial performance, leading teams, operational processes and both personal and organisational transformation contexts.
Al is skilled at providing a confidential, safe environment where leaders can confide their concerns. They also provides appropriate challenge as a platform for leaders to develop and progress based on their personal and career goals. Using their experience of running organisations, as well as non-exec (trustee) experience, Al also helps even the most senior leaders to lead their organisations through transformation.

“I have worked successfully with Alison for many years, as a leadership coach, and also on key organisation development and team development projects. Al is personable and highly knowledgeable, and has a collaborative, empathetic and engaging style. Through her skills and experience, Al has contributed to the growth of the charity and was an invaluable support as we delivered team and organisation change.
Al has been a fantastic leadership coach. She has inspired me to grow as leader and I have benefited greatly from working with Al as my coach.”

Affirmative leadership coaching
Leaders who have experienced exclusion and discrimination because of their identities often find it hard to thrive in organisations and reach their potential. Using their experiences and expertise, Al has worked with many of these leaders, helping. them uncover their unique skills and apply them in their role and career.
Leading Diversity and Inclusion
Many leaders are hesitant about diversity and inclusion. There is much about current social issues they don't understand and they have never been offered development to acquire skills in being intentionally inclusive. Al's coaching provides a safe environment for these leaders to share what they struggle with and learn practical behaviours they can apply to lead more confidently.
Team Dynamics Coaching
Team coaching differs from team development in that it typically includes much less content. I work with the team in the role as a process facilitator, beginning with an introductory session, during which they will co-create a common understating of how the team works and what they would like to improve. The team will also gain an understanding of how I will work with them in future sessions. Purpose for the work will often include improving decision making, problem solving and inclusion, building improved relationships and team working.
Teams then continue their usual meetings and other activities, joined by me in the process facilitator role, I will occasionally intervene in the meetings to encourage everyone involved to raise their awareness, in the moment, of the dynamics playing out in the team and how that impacts on their work, with their agreed purpose in mind. At the end of each meeting I will also lead a review of how the team worked during the meeting.
At agreed intervals I run a dedicated session to review progress and agree next steps, including a close down meeting to hand over the work to the team who will then have gained the skills to be their own process facilitators.
Team coaching requires a significant level of trust and commitment from the team, which is often rewarded by truly transformational experiences, significantly improving performance and inclusion, which team members take into future teams. Often therefore team coaching suits senior teams with skilled leaders and can also sit alongside some leadership development activities as part of an integrated development approach. .

“Alison worked with us during a time of fundamental change - moving to a balanced matrix organisation underpinned by a cultural change and new operating model. Alison's experience and calm, collaborative style was invaluable as we delivered the change - I remember many long planning sessions where Alison was the energy in the room - a great colleague in times of change.”
