I am Director of both the NCEE Entrepreneurial Leaders and Entrepreneurial Heads programmes.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Coaching is a personalised and flexible development intervention for leaders or managers, enabling you to access your personal resources, improve your performance and become more effective.
The agenda is set by you and the aim is to work towards palpable change and action. The coaching relationship is confidential and provides a safe space to explore your ideas, issues, problems or strategies with the aim of clarifying your thinking, building your confidence and supporting you to formulate goals and achieve them.
