They say the greatest unexplored area is under your hat \u2013 your brain. Similarly, Siobhan believes that the greatest untapped resource in the organisation is its brain \u2013 the management team! The \u201ctop team\u201d is rarely a true team, and for understandable reasons. But those that do evolve into that level of group competence confer a distinct strategic advantage to their organisation.<\/p>\n

The \u201ctop team\u201d is rarely a true team, and for understandable reasons. But those that do evolve into a high level of group competence lend a distinct strategic advantage to their organisation.<\/p>\n

Siobhan\u2019s knowledge and expertise in this field are unparalleled and invaluable to any CEO who wishes both to up their game significantly and to accelerate the maturation of their top team.<\/p>\n

Support ranges from in-depth diagnostics to an ongoing programme of top team support and development. One-to-one time is allocated for the CEO throughout.<\/p>\n

It definitely gets more lonely as one ascends the corporate ladder, and time pressures can mitigate against prioritising oneself. Yet you are an expensive resource expected to make a return on the organisation\u2019s trust invested you.<\/p>\n

If you are keen to make your best contribution to the organisation, Siobhan can work with you one-to-one in a time-frame and location that fits with your busy schedule. She adapts intelligently to your needs \u2013 at times a mentor, at times a coach, and other times a tutor imparting valuable models and frameworks.<\/p>\n

In her exec coaching programmes, the agenda will be set by you.<\/p>\n

If you have a specific focus (e.g. joining the management team or as an experienced leader seeking to take stock of one\u2019s leadership journey) you might want to choose one of the predefined one-to-one programmes, which have a specific direction of travel and carefully tailored content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaching with Siobhan was my first opportunity to really consider and deal with my own psychological make-up, to make sense of why I feel how I do under certain circumstances. And how, as a Chief Executive, I should deal with those feelings. Siobhan helped me overcome my self-doubt. I now enjoy the challenge rather than dread confronting the issue. I am much better prepared emotionally to lead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The three tiers of strategy will be explained, focusing in on thinking tools that particularly serve business unit strategy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll clarify the sometimes confusing language around vision, mission, goals, strategy, and tactics.<\/p>\n

Unlike most other training on strategy, we\u2019ll also look at the gifts that various personality types bring to the strategy formulation process, including your own.<\/p>\n

As a senior leader dealing with a wide range of stakeholders, at some point, uncomfortable subjects need to be addressed. We look at how to conduct dialogue on delicate issues with equanimity and building the confidence to anticipate and engage promptly, averting adverse consequences.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent complement to Dealing with Difficult People.<\/p>\n

Healthy teams innovate naturally. However, building such teams requires creating an environment that has a healthy balance between cohesion and dissent. A strong culture can inhibit originality, but an absence of security and social connectedness can too. We\u2019ll look at requirements for group safety and group creativity, and the important role of the leader.<\/p>\n

Important journeys benefit from status-checks and \u201ctrim-tailing\u201d – your leadership path is no different.<\/p>\n

Contexts change, habits develop, values shift. Goals may need review. This evening+day retreat checks in with your motivations and your strengths, and where you might focus, given possible opportunities ahead.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also gain a range of useful frameworks that add to your leadership toolkit.<\/p>\n
