Leadership Coaching

Amy coaches emerging leaders and mid-level managers both 1:1 and in small groups with an explicit focus on developing their confidence to step up to lead in complex high-pressure environments.

Coaching offers an individualised approach to professional development where, through guided solution and learning focused conversations and experimental practise, professionals can use their own workplace experiences as both case studies and laboratories to support their leadership growth. It is a highly valuable component of Professional Development Plans for managers with high workloads, limited availability and challenging balances of both business deliverables and team leadership responsibilities. Amy’s coaching approach is evidence-based, utilises current understanding of neuroplasticity, growth mindset, dialogic practise and leadership development, creating spaces for deeper thinking, reflective learning and practical, immediately applicable incremental changes for the workplace.

Working with Amy either face-to-face (in your Brisbane CBD office or her office in Manly) or remotely (via phone or web-based video conferencing through any device), clients see both rapid improvements in their performance and thinking patterns, and deep, long-term, sustained change in their capacity to lead and influence others. Amy’s focus is on supporting her clients to develop the confidence to step in to difficult, complex and ambiguous situations; to hold in mind the bigger picture they are working towards; to communicate with clarity and perspective; and to create space between their thoughts and actions so that their Impact more closely aligns with their Intention. This empowers her clients to have more control over their leadership behaviours; and to be perceived as stronger, more engaging, more effective peers, colleagues and leaders.

Amy’s coaching packages are highly flexible and designed individually for you – to best meet your schedule, the urgency of your goals and the stages of your professional development. Sessions are usually 1-hour in duration; held weekly, fortnightly, monthly or ad hoc as you need; include thorough and detailed follow-up notes with tools designed specifically for your needs; and invoices are sent after completion of each session, making it easier to fit your, or your company’s, professional development budget.

If you are considering including coaching within your professional development plan at your next review, contact Amy for an initial conversation and she can help you prepare a proposal for your boss.

Clients describe working with Amy as being like working with a sports coach for your professional performance - someone to help you focus on your behaviours in the workplace; hone a mindset that will best support your success and support you to bounce back from mistakes; to keep you moving towards the leader you wish to become.

During the COVID pandemic Amy developed the ‘Leader Support Series’ in response to the emerging needs she was seeing for managers and leaders to have a space to think through the challenges they were facing, and share ideas for solutions.

20+ cohorts later, this is now a highly popular program for leaders, expanding to an Executive Support Series in 2023, requested by senior leaders who wanted what their managers were having! Each series works with cohorts of a maximum of 8 leaders over 3-months of fortnightly highly-interactive, virtual, group coaching, focused on creating a safe space for leaders to

• share their challenges,
• learn from each other,
• deepen their self-awareness and learn directly relevant and pragmatic leadership skills they can immediately apply in the workplace.
• We also include peer pair coaching conversations which participants consistently highly value as part of their learning.
