Qualifications
Diploma in Professional Coach-Mentoring
About me
A GP by background, I have 20 years of experience in senior medical leadership/management roles nationally, regionally and in Shropshire.
Being coached has enabled me to tackle issues, explore opportunities, manage my work-life balance and navigate a rewarding and wide-ranging career. I therefore take a coaching approach to all I do and have developed my coaching practice through my experience in team, organisational and system leadership, undertaking a Diploma in Professional Coach/Mentoring and continually building my coaching, mentoring and other leadership development and support practice.
Coaching process
I approach coaching through building rapport with my clients to create a safe and supported environment in which I can gain a rich understanding of the challenges and opportunities they face and enable them to explore these in more detail. I use a range of coaching styles, philosophies, models, tools and tactics do to so, adapting these to the needs and preferences of the individual, and including a touch of creativity at any opportunity. Through this process the client can identify options for their next steps and to formulate a plan of action. A 90-minute session might cover some or all of these steps and the following session starts with a review of progress and agreeing how we use the ongoing sessions to continue this cycle of coaching to best meet their needs.
I work with people at all career stages bringing with me my experience as a GP and in local, regional and national health and care leadership and management roles. I enable them to explore challenges and opportunities they face and, through a self-directed, person-centred approach, to be able to take steps towards realising their potential and flourishing.
