1:1 mentoring for CEOs, directors, partners plus other Senior and Middle Leaders... that genuinely works...
We never forget that YOU are UNIQUE.
Our three-part bespoke leadership mentoring/coaching starts with a FREE initial 'pre-session' where you meet your executive mentor, without obligation, to explore your goals in more detail than you might expect. It's analytic, accurate and articulate.
Specialist mentoring takes your performance and business growth to the next level.
We respect your limited time. Your purposefully well-planned, fast-paced sessions could take place in-person in Central London, across the UK or globally, or via video call. Your mentoring creates forward momentum and motivation:
- Enhancing self-awareness plus the awareness of others
- Successful 'rainmaking'/new business generation
- New approaches to productive networking
- Making better use of your time through streamlined prioritisation and a 'balanced scorecard'
- Defining and communicating your vision and strategy
- Identifying ways that you are inadvertently blocking the career progression of your colleagues
- Identifying ways that you are letting yourself down, alongside a clear remedial action plan
- Influencing and persuading others in appropriate ways
- Earning trust by projecting integrity and consistency
- Remotivation and retention of valued colleagues at a time when good people are getting poached
- Empowering staff to meet or exceed your business goals
- Building and leading your teams effectively
- Increasing self-confidence plus your ability to address large audiences
- Solving problems and taking sound decisions
- Enhancing profitability through strategic and commercial thinking
- Holding your colleagues accountable though timely direct feedback
- Achieving a more sustainable Life/Work balance
STEP ONE. Starting with a 10–15-minute video or telephone 'discovery call' with your selected mentor, you can explain your organisation’s particular challenges and opportunities. Alternatively, when practical, Robin can visit you for a 30-minute face to face meeting. These are both freely provided by Robin with no obligation on your part.
STEP TWO. Each selected candidate receives a free 55-minute 'pre-session' with Robin, or your selected mentor, that provides detailed reconnaissance of the priorities. It is a comparative process, refined over many years, and helps ensure that the coaching progresses well from the start. Our specialist senior and middle leader coaching is designed to take an individual’s performance, and your profitability, to the next level. Sessions usually take place on your premises or in one of our two boardrooms in Central London. If more flexibility is needed, sessions can be conducted via video call.
STEP THREE is our UNIQUE PROMISE
Group Training that Works
Normally configured for groups of between two and 16 people, group coaching has a wealth of benefits for your team, your board, or even your entire organisation. Depending on the needs of your group, Robin and his team tailor sessions to align with the goals of your organisation. Team facilitated workshops help you tackle internal problems such as conflict and communication issues, while empowering teams to delegate effectively, handling change well, thinking through forward strategy, finding a new vision and increasing productivity and profitability.
In group sessions, the following topics may include:
- Self-awareness and emotional intelligence
- Management and leadership plus team building
- Talent acquisition and retention
- Team building/motivation
- Decision making approaches
- Interpersonal communications
- Business development
- Effective delegation processes
- Increasing profitability
- Streamlining sales and pitching processes
- Time management and delegation
- Managing conflict
- Delivering ’Solution-Focused Conversations’
(aka Difficult Conversations) - Managing change programmes to foster buy-in
- Regular feedback and appraisal processes
And... what about this for a UNIQUE promise that we have held for 15 years?
When your executive leadership mentoring with Robin has ended, Robin remains there for you via telephone or email for up to five years* of unlimited support for no additional cost. This support is designed to provide accountability, and a sounding board as you lead your organisation forward.
Naturally such a remarkable promise has to be covered by terms and conditions, though these have only triggered once in the last 15 years. We had one candidate who quit as a senior lawyer to become ordained, so they suddenly found themselves with an entirely different 'boss', up on high. Their landscape completely changed though after one more paid-for session their long term support was reinstated.
