Transformative conversations

Join me for Transformative Conversations and make steady progress towards your goals.

In this VUCA realm we inhabit, learn to control both your inner and outer worlds.

What do you want to change about your work life? What transformation do you aspire to?

As you know, change can be swift – that lightbulb moment – but it can also take time.

Your change starts with your desire and is then fuelled by your energy, your actions and your perseverance.

Your transformative journey will gradually shift your trajectory. You will feel yourself progressing.

What kind of conversation partner am I?

I am told I am enthusiastic and warm as well as a bit unusual. I like to inject levity into challenging topics.

I am very pragmatic. I will support you identify solutions which are relevant to your objectives and particular environment to achieve long-lasting results. In addition to my coaching competencies and life lessons, my 20+ years in the corporate world make me a worthwhile interlocutor when it comes to workplace challenges.

How does that sound?

I will be your travelling companion

I will play several crucial roles, including being an independent sounding board, someone without any agenda save yours and who is therefore both free and able to give you an outside perspective.
I will be equally challenging and supportive – importantly, I will know when to be which.
I will become a point of accountability when you struggle to stay motivated, when the going gets rough.
I won’t advise but I will have suggestions for you if you would like them. Count on me to always be candid.
I speak my truth and would only have yours.
You will feel yourself gaining in self-knowledge. You will also typically shift your view about and behaviour with others.
You will find you become willing to share more of your authentic self . And to welcome others more sincerely too.

Is it for you?

In a similar way that an elite athlete is honed and fine-tuned by a personal trainer, a career / business / executive coach helps their client realise their professional aspirations by sharpening the blade they are.

Are you ready to take a gutsy look at yourself – your skills of course but also some of your personality? Are you ready to inspect not just what you think but how you think? Are you curious to learn how you shape your reality? Isn’t that great news? If you shape your reality, then you can transform it.

In the words of the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius:

“The obstacle is the way”.

If that sounds cryptic, he meant to say that we stand in our own way. Think it’s not true – that others, circumstances get in the way too? Come and discover a more accurate picture of your reality. Come and learn new thinking habits and how to reengineer your behavior. Reshape your reality and live a more fulfilling life at work.

“You don’t fix an inner problem with an outer solution.“ – Dai Lama

The people who pick me often...

... aspire to management or leadership responsibilities
... sometimes struggle with relational challenges
... seek to better ‘read the room’, influence more, gain buy-in
... wish to broaden their communication abilities beyond jargon
... wonder why their career progress appears to be lagging
... work in stressful environments and wish to cope better
... are looking for pragmatic support with a career change
And they are people who are
open-minded and thus happy to consider new perspectives
courageous when it matters and willing to try new behaviours
self-driven and thus keen to learn and empower themselves
willing to challenge themselves when they want it badly

And you, who are you? I’d love to know.
