Coaching for the top team

Coaching, Developing as a leader, ,

I have had early conversations in recent weeks with clients in two very different organisations. Both have indicated that they want to explore the use of executive coaching for their most senior leaders.

So, it made sense to me to focus the main article in my quarterly newsletter on top team interventions. What differentiates the most successful from those that are seen as a poor return on investment? And where does coaching fit in? In recent days, I have been sketching the outlines of the article and today I get my first chance to begin the process of writing it.

At 15:37 I decide it’s time for a distraction and choose to put aside writing in favour of… Mmm… maybe there’s a better way of taking a break.

Let’s get blogging!

All articles, ,

It’s been a few weeks since I started to think about blogging. This morning I woke up knowing that today is the day to set up this blog and post my first entry.

More generally, I have become more aware in recent months than ever before of the joy writing gives me – whether to share with others or for myself. Setting up a blog is one step towards exploring writing and what it brings to me and to others in my life – friends, family, clients.

I am already aware of some questions I have yet to answer. I’d like to write about my experiences and many of these involve other people. As a coach I guarantee the confidentiality of my work with clients – so how do I share and maintain confidentiality? I also have a love of literature and will no doubt want to include quotes – so what copyright laws apply? No doubt I shall be exporing the answers to these and many other questions as I go.

Oh – and who will read my blog? I wonder…
