Olympic athletes work with a coach every day. Why should you be any different?

Executive Coaching

Sometimes you just need an objective, knowledgeable, neutral sounding board or a strategic thinking partner with whom you can discuss your challenges, opportunities, how to leverage your strengths, overcome vulnerabilities or plan a course of action.

Richard Branson is at the top of his game and he works with a coach every day.
Same for Olympic athletes. Why should you be any different?

Executive coaching deals specifically with the challenges in the business owner or executive’s professional and personal life. Executive coaching is centred on designing and planning a life of balance – work and play and being the best at both.

Executive coaching will equip you with tools to be effective with challenging people, to stay on top of mounting responsibilities, to manage stress in an effective way, to move towards the perfect work/life balance, to identify your strengths and vulnerabilities and to use them to your advantage.

Stanford was recommendation by a friend. At the time, I wanted to start a new business. He guided me into vision, strategy and action. The business was and still is a success. I committed to my coach and he is the best independent business partner with only my needs at heart. Thanks for this Stanford. Talk to you next week.

Coaching with Stanford has made me see myself more objectively. I have changed my leadership approach and style to get the job done although it doesn’t come naturally. Stanford provided the tools I need to understand how others perceive me. With this, I now adjust my actions and modify my behaviours for increasingly positive results. These essential lessons will stay with me as I continue to climb the leadership ladder.

Stanford allowed me to take an honest non-defensive view of myself through the eyes and perceptions of others within the organisation. Stanford was compassionate in his approach to help me focus on change and self-improvement. This allowed me to take an honest assessment of myself and put my goals and aspirations into context for the future. The end result was amazing in the fact that I was able to change my communication and management style for the better as well as the perceptions of my subordinates and peers across the organisation. My self-awareness has grown and allowed me to become a much more effective executive, leader and mentor.

Being a mother, business woman, wife and friend to some, we lose ourselves ina n abyss of doing for others and before we know, years have passed, you wake up and realise you have no idea what you have become. Coaching helped me get in touch with myself again. Being in business is also very lonely and it helps to speak to someone who knows and understands business and provide valuable input. Phychology on steriods!
