Team coaching: my coaching philosophy
My team coaching approach is focused on the principle that every team has the potential to develop and improve. As a coach, my role is to help the teams I work with tap into that potential, by providing them with the space, attention and support they need. I take a holistic, integrated approach to coaching teams, combining this with a high degree of organisational awareness and a sensitive appreciation of broader systemic influences. My coaching philosophy is built upon the following principles:
Group coaching
I offer a range of group coaching options. Groups are typically 5-6 individuals at similar life or career development stages, who are keen to combine the benefits of coaching with the opportunity to build their network, and to benefit from the additional insights and perspectives of colleagues.
Leadership skills
Looking to flex and hone your leadership style, and to enhance the 'softer' leadership skills around communication, engagement, presentation and influencing skills etc
Women's leadership
Focussed groups aimed at supporting women as they navigate and shape their career paths, particularly in professional services organisations
Maternity coaching
Dedicated groups, typically aimed at pre-maternity leave planning, and post-maternity leave transitioning back to work
About Me
Passionate about helping you achieve your goals and your potential
I’m Vicky, a business transformation expert and executive leadership coach.
Over the last 20+ years I have had the privilege of leading large teams and organisations including over 16 years in global professional services organisations, the last 8 years of which as Equity Partner in Ernst & Young's Healthcare & Life sciences Consulting practice. Prior to this I worked for over 5 years in a variety of senior operational and general management roles in the NHS. I've also held various Board positions with 3rd sector organisations, and am currently on the Board of Trustees with United Response.
I’ve spent the last 20 years informally and formally coaching individuals and teams, including senior executives and C-suite clients to achieve their professional goals. ​
I’m passionate about loads of things but a few of the most important to me are:
-
Kindness, authenticity and inclusivity
-
Demonstrating empathy and compassion, providing a safe and non-judgemental environment to enable individuals to thrive
-
Helping people to overcome challenges and achieve their goals
-
Building self belief and confidence
-
Prioritising mental health and wellbeing
-
And ultimately helping people recognise what’s important in life and finding the time to look up, see the trees and smell the flowers!
