"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for."

Transformational performance – at the level of the organisation, the team, and the individual – starts with having a goal in mind.

A really ambitious one.

Strategy and execution follows – driven by the resolve, commitment and determination to see it through.

Technical and structural changes may be needed, but so might also changes in behaviours, values, and organisational culture.

It will certainly take a willingness, an eagerness even, to change – and this is often the most difficult part because it is human nature to resist it.

That’s where we come in.

As corporate performance coaches we work with leaders and their teams to define an aspirational goal, assess the current situation, develop creative solutions, and hold them to account to deliver on the actions they commit to.

We also work with them to challenge the way they think about and perceive situations – empowering them and enabling them to get ‘unstuck.’

Experience has taught us that whatever we think the problem is, it’s almost certainly not. It’s a symptom of something else completely, and it’s that ‘something else’ that we work on with our clients.

Please contact us for an informal discussion on the change that you would like to bring about in your organisation – we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Testimonials

A selection of some of the kind things our clients have said about us:

"Stuart was highly regarded as a coach to what was then a relatively inexperienced management team. He quickly assessed our strategic and operational needs and set about coaching us on what changes would drive organisational performance and how this could be accomplished. He brings out the best in others and this reflected very well in the performance of the business."

"Stuart is an outstanding coach. To align the organisation with its strategy he created a 3-day workshop for the management team which combined MBA-level theory with a highly relevant case study analysis. One-to-one sessions to monitor individual objectives followed, and team-building events created a great team-spirt. The results spoke for themselves"

“It was a great experience being coached by Stuart. He has a relaxed and easy way of discussing priorities, analysing performance, and creating base lines. His approach to coaching opens the mind to new possibilities and his constant support and guidance has made the achievement of ambitious goals possible. I would certainly recommend him.”

"Stuart was coaching me as part of my promotion and transition to Branch Manager. I thoroughly enjoyed the process which covered advanced financial, sales and operations management. Stuart’s approach was highly engaging, comprehensive and totally professional. I felt completely prepared for my new role at the end of the process."
