Coaching: the Whole Communicator
For individuals who want to address or develop a specific area of how they communicate, interact and show up with others. Coaching can follow on from one of our workshops to go deeper into the techniques and apply them to live situations, or it can stand entirely alone.
Our approach can help prepare for a high-stakes moment, refine a leadership voice, or build long-term capability in how you express and present yourself.
For very senior leaders who cannot always find the availability to attend a group workshop, coaching offers the same methodology and quality of development in a format that works around them.
Although we bring a repertoire of approaches, techniques and exercises, we do not impose them or use them in any fixed way.
Every individual we work with is listened to, and we find the best way to work together towards an agreed and shared outcome. Sessions are practical and responsive, always focused on getting you where you want to be.
Coaching can take place in person or online, in single sessions or a tailored series. A typical format is three sessions of ninety minutes, spaced to allow time to apply what has been worked on and bring that real experience back into the next session. More time can easily be arranged to work on ongoing or new areas of development.
Coaching can also support the development and delivery of on-site presentations as part of an event.
For those who want the complete offer, it is possible to work with both Lily and Ben, to address every dimension of how you communicate. This can be structured as a coordinated programme or as separate strands running alongside each other, depending on what is most useful.
Lily:
Thinking, Content and Narrative.
Lily focuses on shaping thinking and content, helping individuals find clarity and flow in what they want to say and structuring their ideas into compelling, relevant narratives.
