LEADERS IN EXECUTIVE COACHING

The Coaching of Directors

We work with a significant number of individual CEO's and Directors to support them in their challenging roles.

• CEO's
  A CEO's job is one of the most demanding and complex roles. CEO's have positions of power and authority, yet they must gain and retain support from many diverse stakeholders. They must be convincing on strategy whilst masters of the detail. They are fully accountable and responsible for their organisations but rely completely on others to get things done. We act as coach and sounding board to many CEO's - both first-time appointments and others - as they ‘come to grips' with their agenda, negotiate their transition phase and move the organisation forward.
  
• Directors
  Many executive and non-executive directors who join a Board for the first time find it is an experience for which they are almost completely unprepared. We help them comprehend and become confident in their new "cabinet" role, and thereby make a valuable contribution to their future success and the business.

Succession

We help talented executives become credible, attractive candidates for Board positions. We continue to support them as they progress in the organisation.

Women in boardrooms

We provide specialist help to Chairmen and CEO's who want to create an environment in which talented women, as well as talented men, are encouraged and supported so that they become excellent candidates for Board positions - and excellent contributors once appointed. One of our UK Partners, Peninah Thomson, has co-authored ‘A Women's Place is in the Boardroom', a study of why women still face ‘barriers to entry' at the highest level, and what organisations can do to help women fulfill their potential.

We will be bringing the renowned Praesta program the FTSE mentoring program for women to Australia in 2008.
