LDC :: LDC pre-qualified coaches

We’re often asked for suggestions or referrals for good coaches to support leaders development. We’ve established a pre-qualified supplier list of credible and experienced professional coaches available to deliver coaching to leaders across the New Zealand Public Service.

Coaches

Before you engage a coach, note that they are independent providers and not employed by the Leadership Development Centre (LDC). Engagement is between them and your agency directly. This includes negotiation of rates, contracting and availability. Similarly public service agencies are not required to use these coaches exclusively. A number of agencies have their own panel.

Following a thorough and open process these are the LDC’s recommended coaches.

To meet the varied coaching needs of different leaders across the system, we’ve established 3 lists of qualified coaches for:

Chief executive and/or senior system leaders.
Mid-level leader of leaders.
People and thought leaders.

You can find a snapshot of where each coach offers face to face delivery and how to make contact. All coaches offer coaching services using virtual technology.
