Critical to leadership development is identifying what your personal leadership style is, and how your strengths can bring out the best in others
LDC coach and facilitator
I am an experienced executive coach, facilitator and trainer, and developing people is my passion. My clients value my positive encouragement, savvy commercial nous and coaching ability. I expertly challenge people to stretch and grow their interpersonal capability and confidence to deliver results.
I recognise that a significant challenge exists for leaders to achieve results through others. Critical to leadership development is identifying what your personal leadership style is, and how your strengths can bring out the best in others. As an executive coach, I work closely with people as they develop and understand the relationship between how they habitually think and how they behave, and how all this impacts their current level of effectiveness.
I work closely with clients to design and deliver customised development programmes that build the knowledge, skills, confidence and ability of their people in line with their values, capability frameworks and organisation priorities.
I am a seasoned learning facilitator with breadth and depth of expertise to draw on when designing coaching and facilitating. I deliver highly interactive sessions with an emphasis on learning through doing, applying skills in live work situations, and reflecting on the experience to sustained behaviour change and ongoing learning.
My early career as a winemaker and then National Sales Manager helped to shape my leadership style. In these roles, I had to lead a diverse group of direct and indirect reports. It was here, I recognised a passion for developing others, for helping to fuel sparks of interest.
In 2002, I joined a global training consultancy. Here I was exposed to best practise global development thinking. I worked in New Zealand and Australia training senior and mid-tier executives across a broad range of services. A desire to be a long-term partner in individuals development, lead me to establish my own consultancy, Key Performance Group, in 2008. I offer coaching, facilitation and customised training that draws on academic research, while being pragmatic in application. My experience in both the public and private sectors means I offer commercial and fresh thinking.
I am accredited to use globally recognised tools including: The Leadership Circle Profile, Genos Emotional Intelligence, Genos Employee Motivation Assessment, and Myers Briggs: MBTI Type 11.
