COACHING
In a busy working world, with ever growing demands and fewer resources, it is easy to put yourself last – to fail to take time to think. The results can be disastrous. Investing in a confidential coaching program for our leaders provides structured, regular time for them to reflect and develop their leadership strategy. Equally, leaders work within organisational systems, where a combination of executive coaching and team coaching can better enhance leadership performance.
LEADER DEVELOPMENT
As leaders we can overdo our strengths; overuse them or employ them in the wrong context. Vicki’s leader development experiences support leaders to lead at their best, with purpose, utilising techniques to avoid crossing over to their ‘dark side’. Leader development may include techniques for taking a coaching approach to leadership to empower others rather than relying on individual effort or for leveraging collective leadership to prepare for the complex, turbulent times ahead.
CAREER RESILIENCE
One of the most difficult career dilemmas is working with a toxic boss or colleague. A recent study into the impact of toxic behaviour by managers found that even one or two of these behaviours, i.e. manipulating and intimidating others, was enough to cause harm to employees: psychological, emotional and physical. Based on Vicki’s Career Resilience methodology and her Survival for Targets of Toxic Leaders, learn techniques to preserve your career, your job, and your wellbeing in this situation.
KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS
As an infopreneur, diagnostician of underlying causes of organisational issues, and ideas challenger, Vicki presents to a range of professional bodies, organisations and leader forums on strategies for incisive leadership in complex environments, for developing collective leadership capability to enhance the productivity, engagement, and well-being of employees and teams, without overdoing strengths or going to the dark side.
Over the years I have appreciated Vicki’s input as a sounding board when discussing organisational issues and ideas for cultural change.
She thinks strategically and can see the big picture, while at the same time recommending practical solutions. She willingly shares her organisational development experience and has real examples of what she has seen work and what hasn’t; the pros and cons of a particular course of action.
She stays abreast of the latest research and thought leadership into future trends that are about to impact workplaces. Vicki’s key strength is her ability to connect with people to ensure very focused solutions, which result in great organisational outcomes.
It was a pivotal point in my career and life. As such Vicki’s coaching came at a very important time for me to help me understand how I ended up where I did, more importantly what I could do to reinvigorate my career and plan how to get to the next step.
Vicki also helped me understand the significant value that I bring to my current employer or any organisation, which has given me renewed confidence. So, career clarity has been very measurable for me and given me a clear roadmap and way forward.
The highlight of the coaching experience was having a truly empathic listener who could synthesize everything I was going through and saying, make sense of this, and play this back.
