Leadership & Executive Coaching

Leadership is more than a title—it’s a dynamic and evolving journey that requires clarity, resilience, and the ability to inspire others. At the executive level, the challenges are greater, the stakes higher, and the need for self-awareness and strategic thinking even more pressing.

Leadership and executive coaching provides a space for leaders to pause, reflect, and refine how they lead. It’s an opportunity to explore strengths, navigate blind spots, and align leadership practices with personal and organisational goals. Whether you’re striving to manage change, foster a strong organisational culture, or lead with greater impact, coaching offers the guidance and tools to help you grow into the leader you want to be.

For many leaders, the demands of their role can feel overwhelming. Balancing operational priorities with strategic vision, managing diverse teams, and making high-stakes decisions can leave little room for personal reflection. That’s where coaching comes in—a partnership focused entirely on your growth, clarity, and success.

In our sessions, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and uncover opportunities for transformation. This might include developing emotional intelligence, enhancing communication skills, or improving decision-making under pressure. We’ll also work to align your leadership style with your core values, ensuring authenticity in how you lead.

For executives, coaching extends beyond individual performance. It’s about creating a ripple effect—shaping the culture of your organisation, empowering your teams, and driving sustainable results. Through a combination of reflective practices and actionable strategies, we’ll work to strengthen both your leadership presence and your long-term impact.

Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role, navigating complex challenges, or looking to elevate your performance, coaching provides a powerful framework for growth. Together, we’ll unlock your potential as a leader and help you lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Let’s work together.

Thought Partnership

What is Thought Partnership?

Thought partnership is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your current situations, identify challenges, and uncover opportunities. Unlike traditional consulting, thought partnership is about mutual exchange, deep conversation, and innovative thinking. It's a dynamic relationship focused on helping you find clarity and direction.

My approach is highly client-centred. Which means we can touch on any or all of the following:

Initial Consultation: A thorough understanding of your current situation, goals, and challenges. This helps us set a clear direction for your partnership with Tom.
Deep Listening and Inquiry: Tom actively listens to your concerns and asks insightful questions. This process helps uncover underlying issues and stimulates new ways of thinking.
Collaborative Brainstorming: Together, you will explore various perspectives and potential solutions. This is a creative and open-ended process where all ideas are welcome.
Strategic Planning: Once we have a range of ideas, you can focus on developing actionable strategies. Tom helps you weigh the pros and cons of each option, considering both short-term and long-term impacts.
Ongoing Support and Accountability: Tom provides continuous support as you implement your plans. Regular check-ins ensure that you stay on track and can adapt strategies as needed.

Specific Focus On The Executive Role

Executive coaching is a tailored development process for business leaders and executives. It focuses on enhancing their leadership and management skills. This process is often collaborative. As a professional coach, Tom will supports and guides senior leaders in setting and achieving specific, personalised goals. These goals are aligned with both their individual growth and the organisation's strategic objectives. Unlike traditional training methods, executive coaching is highly individualised. It addresses unique challenges and opportunities faced by each leader. The aim is to foster a deeper understanding of oneself, enhance decision-making skills, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. This process often leads to significant improvements in performance, both for the senior leader and their team. Moreover, it can be a powerful tool for personal transformation, contributing to the overall health and success of an organisation.

Leadership Development Framework

Create an organisation that people thrive in; that supports your people to support the ambitions of the organisation - such as growth, stability and resilience. Focus on adapting how you lead (how you show up as a leader) as well as what you lead (what it is that you do as a leader).

+ Unlock your organisation's growth

+ Develop a culture that supports your people

+ Understand how to develop further as a senior leader

+ Support and develop your teams

+ Align people and business values with reality

+ Get support from an objective and trusted 3rd party

+ Get clear on what your people need from you

+ Enable your people to support and develop your business

+ Develop more effective relationships

+ Engage in better conversations and enable more powerful dialog in your organisation

This is a comprehensive and customised approach designed to support leaders and business owners develop their leadership skills, adaptability and style as needed by their organisation. It is an opportunity to evolve and transform your leadership. The key to this approach is for senior leaders and senior leadership teams to develop a skilful approach to how they show up based on the competing needs of the situation, the people, the business. Leaders and leadership teams will receive tailored 360 feedback from their organisation, as well as exploring tools and insights relating to their leadership.

Tom's approach also offers you the opportunity to explore the wellbeing of the organisation and the current culture. From this, you will identify actionable insight to help you deliver success across your organisation.

The approach leads to outcomes based on two types of goals:

Task oriented goals are the things that the leaders need to get done in order to support the people and business that they are leading. Developmental goals are about personal development of the leader so that they are able to show up in a different way in their role as leader.
