Every now and then I take time to update my coaching profile.  This is as much about my aim to communicate clearly to current and potential clients as it is about any changes in what I offer.  I want people to know who I am, who I work best with, and how my work adds value. 

Having been through a process of revision, I notice how pleased I am – as if I have added new colour to my profile through the process of revising it.  I can see myself more clearly in this picture and I hope you can, too.

I welcome your feedback – anything you’d like to add via the comments option.  And of course, if you’d like to work with me or know someone for whom the description below just hits the spot, please contact me directly:

Have you noticed how some leaders work harder than they need to to produce outstanding results? Perhaps they have what it takes to succeed – if only they knew it. Perhaps they lack awareness of their skills or could achieve so much more by developing further. Perhaps they are trying hard to be “a leader” when, in truth, they could achieve so much more by connecting with and being their authentic selves.

As a coach, I have helped coaching clients:

• To understand what they really want from their work, igniting their motivation for their current job or helping them to understand their need to find a job in which they can excel;
• To grow in confidence and skill as a leader so that they understand what they have that gives them a place in their organisation’s future and are confident to execute their leadership role;
• To recognise, develop and leverage their skills, helping them to achieve improved outcomes with increased confidence, reduced stress and less effort;
• To increase their contribution to their organisation, to improve business outcomes and to achieve rapid promotion;
• To face unexpected challenges with confidence and clarity of purpose, leading to outcomes that exceed all expectations.

My clients value the way I balance challenge with support to create the climate in coaching for accelerated progress and results. You can read client testimonials and learn more about me by visiting my profile at LinkedIn or my blog at http://dorothynesbit.blogspot.com.

What’s my background? Since 1988, I have been developing leadership at individual and organisational level, through leadership research, executive assessment, leadership development and 1:1 Executive Coaching. I have consulted widely across sectors in the UK and Europe including the finance, insurance, pharmaceutical, professional and education sectors.

With a passion for supporting others’ development, I began coaching a long time before I’d heard the word “coach”. Since 2004, I have placed coaching at the heart of my work, completing a professional coach training certified by the International Coaching Federation and working as a coach to high-potential leaders – from first-time leaders through to directors and CEOs – who are interested to release their own potential and that of the organisation they manage.

I have an MA (Cantab), I am a certified NLP Coach and member of the International Coach Federation and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
