Coaching and career development

I often talk to my clients about ‘acting on reflection, reflecting on action’. It is so useful to step back to look at what’s happening from a different perspective ..

Coaching for career development as a partner  or director will provide a discreet and confidential place to reflect and analyse your career path and help you deal with associated discussions with greater  confidence, certainty and self-awareness. You will be equipped with a clear next step plan for your next promotion and next  phase of your career.

Whether you are a lawyer , an accountant or a private equity professional in London you should be focused on non ‘analytical’ elements of your role so that you have the “edge” over your peers . No stretch no development….

Also  managing and motivating teams is now a key director and partnerial skill which is often not learnt earlier in an ‘analytical’  career. Building on development already provided by the firm, we can accelerate the growth of these skills through individual coaching. Partners and directors will alos benefit from improving their coaching skills.

I would suggest that stretch zones or zones of  discomfort for professionals included investing time with others, having open dialogues, coaching others, resolving personal conflict  giving praise and high quality feedback that improves performance….
