We will also consider any blockages or frustrations that are holding you back and devise ways to overcome them. The aim will be for your to feel free to do your best work and fully valued and supported doing so.

Why choose

Executive Coaching Services?

My bespoke key contributor coaching is tailored to individual needs and is suitable for talented individuals at all levels. Some of the key features of my unique approach are summarised below:

Your time and investment are valuable. I will get straight into the issue that’s most important to you. Unlike some other coaches, I won’t waste your time on your background or your history. You already know that. Relevant parts of that will emerge naturally as we work on what you want to achieve.

You will also receive ‘tough love’ from me when appropriate during our talent coaching journey. You will find me accepting, compassionate, and non-judgmental but be prepared to be challenged as well. I won’t let you off the hook if I believe it’s in your interests to face something uncomfortable.

We can reach into the deep reservoir of tools, concepts, and models I have built up over the 25 years plus I’ve been a coach. My talent coaching is very practical and action-focused. Often employing a proven framework helps realise the value of the actions you will take.

I will work with you to uncover ‘cause’ – not just deal with the ‘symptoms’ of your situation.

I will listen forensically to you, looking for the deeper, significant themes that need to be highlighted and addressed. This will help your thinking about yourself and your decision-making.

Free, no-obligation 30-minute consultation, we’ll establish what your most important issues or goals are, and whether or not talent coaching is right for you.

Putting your talent to work through Humanity, Authenticity, and Ability

My talent coaching service is designed around a core of three critical, mutually sustaining areas. I believe tailoring around these three areas allows for an essential balance between a sole focus on performance improvement, and the effectiveness of the human behind the role title, resulting in the development of truly meaningful, and sustainable solutions.

I will adopt the perspective most suitable for your talent coaching needs.

Talent Coaching FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is talent coaching?

Talent coaching works to assist talented individuals with significant potential (who are often key contributors to their organisations) in exerting the authority and influence needed to create the best possible results, working to balance high ambitions with the rigid rules, or well-intentioned but inflexible gatekeepers often encountered by those in key contributor positions.

Throughout the coaching process, the talented individual and coach generally work collaboratively to explore and establish the true extent of the individual’s current power, before looking for potential opportunities to increase this through strategies such as credible self-promotion, building alliances and nurturing reciprocal relationships. In short, key talent coaching seeks to maximise the impact of the individual, working to ensure that their contribution is valued and supported to the extent it should be.

What is key contributor coaching?

Key contributor coaching may also be referred to as talent coaching - depending on the position of the individual seeking assistance, or the context that the training is conducted within. Key contributor coaching works to empower individuals actively contributing to their organisation, but often lacking recognition. Greatly assisting key contributors in leveraging further influence, coaching guides individuals in exerting the authority and influence needed to create the best possible results. This coaching process balances high ambitions with the rigid rules, or well-intentioned but inflexible gatekeepers often encountered by those in key contributor positions.

How much does talent coaching cost?

The cost of talent coaching varies greatly depending on coach or provider – alongside the format in which they provide their services.

What is a key contributor?

Key contributors are often thought of as the silent pillars of their organisations. Typically highly productive and active members of their workplace or team, key or ‘individual’ contributors do not have anybody reporting to them - and are typically not in a formal position of leadership. Despite this, these individuals make significant contributions across their organisation, influencing its overall success in a number of ways.

These talented contributors can often benefit greatly from coaching, geared towards balancing their existing influence with formal power, and further building upon their strong skillset.

Is talent coaching worth it?

Whether or not talent coaching is ‘worth it’ is dependent on a number of factors, including what exactly the individual or organisation is looking to achieve as a result, the quality of coaching provided, and the amount of coaching undertaken.

When conducted by an experienced professional understanding of the talented individual or key contributor’s goals, talent coaching can be a highly valuable process, helping deserving organisation or team members flourish.
