The issue is never the issue
This is our motto. Because, so often, the presenting symptoms of a problem within an organisation or a team or even for an individual are very different from the underlying root cause. Real improvement and development is made possible by addressing that real cause rather than just tackling the symptoms.

Coaching
Are you a business or organisational leader struggling with a key relationship? Is your business partner driving you nuts? Are you struggling to work with the Chairman of your Board of Trustees? Or are you moving roles and maybe even stepping into a new field of work?
We all have challenging work-based relationships – who do you talk to when one of those key relationships is in difficulty and you can’t see a way forward. When we are making a career change we sometimes need an objective sounding board.
Our coaching creates a safe environment to work out where the underlying issues really are and to work out ways to have those difficult conversations and resolve conflicts. It also provides that space for exploring new options and ideas.
We can provide Coaching sessions over the phone, zoom or in person. For more information contact us.
