What is Executive Coaching and why would it benefit you?

Coaching is the art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another. It is a non-directive, supportive discussion where the coach will encourage the client to explore the matter in depth, focusing on their thoughts and feelings.

Coaching empowers leaders to remove barriers and be innovative, always challenging themselves and driving performance within their teams. Change within organisations is constant, but coaching is an intervention that can support leaders to manage change effectively, making them more agile and confident. Effective coaching will enable thorough reflection and increase emotional intelligence, which in turn will drive personal improvements and therefore performance.

What will the sessions be like?

Jayne will firstly arrange an introductory session with the client, to make sure that they feel the coaching relationship would be productive and ‘feels right’ for them.

The aim of the coaching experience is to support, challenge, empower and be solutions focussed. The sessions will focus on thoughts, feelings, needs and fears, as understanding ourselves better is the key to unlocking our true potential. The session will enable the client to reflect and then move forward with tangible results.

Coaching is all about the client – they choose the topic. Executive coaching can focus on professional development, people management, stakeholder management, decision making, career goals or anything that is related to their professional life.

What’s Jayne’s approach to coaching?

Jayne has an in-depth appreciation of the challenges facing senior professionals and executives, and is able to use this expertise to effectively coach individuals. Jayne has natural curiosity and empathy, is person centred and loves supporting individuals to discover themselves and perform at their best.

With a naturally engaging style that makes clients feel psychologically safe, Jayne uses her genuine empathy and interest for the client to allow them to be safely challenged, resulting in the exploration of any limiting beliefs and the unlocking of potential.

Jayne believes that to find the “real solution”, one must first find the “real problem”. She supports clients to do this by encouraging them to delve into how things are for them, encouraging the client to analyse their current thinking and identifying where there are limiting beliefs or circumstances. Jayne believes that the biggest barrier to our success is often ourselves – we often limit ourselves and stifle our potential without knowing it.

To unlock potential, we must understand our needs, fears, thoughts and feelings to assess our drivers, which will shape our future. Jayne supports the client to undergo this transformational journey, focusing them on their key drivers and supporting them to remove their barriers to success.
