1-2-1 coaching is the most bespoke, tailored form of personal and professional development. You are not one person of many in a classroom. We will work together on a 1-2-1 basis to help you understand and then tackle your specific challenges and achieve your goals.
Within a contract of professional confidentiality, we will work together to develop your self-awareness and expand your impact whilst redefining your professional relationships. I will help you find your own unique path through guided reflection. Together our work will generate insights to enable greater personal and professional progress and effectiveness.
I am a qualified, experienced and trusted leadership coach who regularly practices coaching supervision to ensure I am relevant and continuing to grow myself.
Geoff transformed the way I thought about agile leadership. He took time to understand my preferred styles and we worked together on coaching outcomes which retained my authenticity whilst amplifying impact.
Geoff’s expertise combined with his intuitive and relaxed coaching style, meant that I entered into my first big agile leadership role with confidence.
The first thing we will do is identify a medium-term goal to work towards and a cadence to work to. Every one to four weeks we will meet to work through specific tactical challenges while working towards your strategic leadership goals.
My clients' goals are wide-ranging and include:
> Developing an executive presence
> Positioning themselves for a new role
> Settling in to a new position
> Tackling impostor syndrome or people pleasing traits,
> Leading organisational change
> Enhancing personal fulfilment
Our work is completely confidential and will be tailored to you:
"I benefited from 1-2-1 sessions with Geoff and the impact was immediate. Geoff's personable easy nature enabled me to open up about the most challenging aspects of work-life. As a result of the time spent with Geoff, I found myself more able to be the Art Director I wanted to be and made my role more rewarding. As a result I now have an amazing new position!”
“This experience with Geoff has been among the best learning experiences I have had. He has dramatically moved the bar higher on my expectations of my behaviours to create a truly agile environment and, importantly, made me want to rise above that bar.”

“Geoff is a brilliant leadership coach. He knows how to dance the line between being friendly, warm, and empathic and being strict, challenging, and thought-provoking extremely well; and that makes him a very effective coach. Geoff really brought me to a new level. Hence, I think any decent leader should experience Geoff at least once in his/her career!”
1-2-1 coaching and mentoring is the most effective way to develop impactful leadership skills.
Perhaps you need to develop your confidence in public speaking to deliver more effective pitches or presentations.
Or perhaps you need to develop your personal resilience to avoid being overwhelmed by everything that's on your plate.
Maybe you need to improve your ability to influence and manage stakeholders.
We can craft a personalised plan to help you develop the skills you need to be even more effective in your role.
I have coached people from all roles and industries to develop skills that they thought they would never master.
For example I have helped someone with a crippling fear of public speaking become a university lecturer and a self-confessed control freak to delegate more, allowing her to focus on the more strategic parts of her role (and get a promotion too).
Some important skills I can help you master
My coaching work is based on my award-winning coaching book The Coach's Casebook.
So if you want an insight into what real coaching looks like read the book and find stories of real-life engagements (with names changed for anonymity).
You'll also find my conversations with business leaders, world cup winners and performers who have benefitted from coaching.
