Our 1-2-1, Group and Board Coaching Programmes offer a provocative and reflective space for CEOs and Senior Executives to untangle and articulate strategic questions, work out how to inspire those around them and re-define what kind of leader they need to be for the business to succeed in the 21st Century.
Leaders look at what is, and what could be, and then they disrupt the status quo to bring about change.
Leaders are always tying to make the business better. And that starts with looking inward. Who do I need to be? How should I spend my time? Where am I getting in the way of others doing their best work? How do I add value to the business without doing everyone else's job for them? In a constantly changing business context, what worked in the past is due for aa re-think. A leadership programme shouldn't just present well-worn models which have not stood the test of time. Instead it should inspire and energise, giving participants fresh, new, current thinking and the confidence to lead authentically, to really connect with their values and liberate the talent of the amazing people they've hired.
Blaire works in partnership with you - What does the business need from these leaders? Where do they need to grow? What are you top priorities? Drawing on more than 20 years of working with clients, Blaire helps you design a programme that is particular to your needs.
Every delegate has their own 'Quest' - a business critical project that will be a case study for the programme. There's a big difference between knowing what to do and doing it. So the Quest becomes the test bed for new approaches. How can they apply what they are learning about themselves and about leadership to this project? At each session they bring back their experiences of doing that, reflect, get feedback and challenge from us and from their cohort colleagues, and consider what's next. How do they continually upgrade the way they are going about this Quest? And how can they apply what they are learning more broadly, to every aspect of their leadership?
Leadership development shouldn't be theoretical. It's easy to say all the right things. But doing them...that's where the rubber hits the road. That's what requires stepping outside of the comfort zone, taking risks and learning from the experience of doing.
By the end of the programme there is no going back. Too much has changed. And the evidence of the value of that change is plain to see. Delegates form deep connections with each other, identify collaborative projects, challenge each other to step up as leaders, coach each other to unpick habits of thinking and behaviour and hold each other to account for their actions.
The secret is capitalising on the uniqueness that each individual brings rather than creating a homogenous, characterless, one-size fits all approach to leadership. This is what diversity looks like.
Call to discuss how, together, we can create the leadership your business needs to succeed.
Culture is all about what a company stands for and how it feels to interact with.
And company culture is becoming THE differentiator when it comes to your ability to attract and retain talent AND attract and retain customers and clients. Trust is not easily won. Influence must be earned. People are making purchasing and employment decisions based on shared values. Your people and your customers are watching you, to see if you are the good guys...or not. Creating and then reinforcing a culture takes intentional effort. You have to decide what you want your culture to be, and why that matters. And then you have to reinforce your ethos every day in countless small and large ways.
Blaire can help you navigate that process, think about and then implement the initiatives which will become part of how you nurture your culture and shed outdated ideas about the contract you have with your people, so that they become engaged citizens of your business, aligned behind your mission. Contact Blaire to discuss how we can work together.
Each year Blaire works with a handful of individuals one-to-one who want to figure out how to lead in these fast changing times.
These are people driven by more than personal ambition. They want to lead because that's how they can make the biggest difference. The leadership we are crying out for today is different to the conventional models of the past. Coaching sessions are an opportunity to identify new approaches - how to capitalise on a more authentic, principled style of leadership and become deeply respected in your organisation, how to increase leadership presence through building deep trust, how to find a unique voice and drive change without compromising on values, how to become an enabler of the talent of others.
