Working as a technology leader is extremely rewarding but is becoming more and more complex as the world increasingly relies on technology for EVERYTHING.  Consequently, the average technology professional is grappling with burgeoning workloads across an ever-broadening range of technology functions.

 

To overcome these challenges, technology leaders need to leverage less of their technical skills and more of their non-technical skills:

 

• leadership,

• relationship building,

• interpersonal communication,

• customer service,

• innovation and

• strategic influence.

 

There is a lot of great high-quality information on all of these topics which offer significant 'food-for-thought' for those that have time to read, reflect on and apply them.

However, successful adoption and effective use of soft skills is greatly enhanced by a personal guide -  to provide informed alternative perspectives, energy & support to keep going, strategies to overcome obstacles and techniques to fast-track progress.  A technology coach/mentor is mandatory if you are to reach the goals and achieve the success that you work so hard for, yet still seem so far away.

What do I aim for in my coaching?

 

• I see coaching as a transformational partnership​​:

  • where we work collaboratively and creatively to transform you (and the way that you achieve your goals) so that you can transform your team, your organisation and even your sector. 

• As a coach I’ll encourage you to look at issues from multiple perspectives;

  • but help you to quickly identify focus areas that we can concentrate on in our sessions.

• I’ll challenge you to try new ways of thinking and give you honest feedback and much to reflect on between sessions;

  • because I'm really keen to see you innovate and exceed everyone’s expectations, especially your own.

• We’ll use your strengths as a high performer and your passion for achieving and combine that with:

  • my technology leadership and strategic executive experience and my passion for seeing you succeed;

  • to create an awesome partnership that will see you achieve goals that are meaningful, fulfilling and purposeful.
