Coaching for Innovation Consultants

Who are you?

You’re a consultant, most likely in or around the tech industry. You may be in leadership, tech, design, or some other role. The important thing is that you have recognised the need to grow and are looking to take action.

I help clients to take action, which often falls into one of the following:

  • Define the kind of consultant you want to be. (develop your sound)

  • Map out a path to the right role to work toward. This includes building capabilities, and understanding organisations and what they can offer you.

  • Focus on landing the next role. This includes review of resume, interview preparation, and a focus on reducing the risk that your existing skills are being missed by a prospective employer.

Tools & Fun Stuff

The Personal Canvas (designed by Mike Biggs) is a useful tool that will help you reflect on the kind of consultant you wish to be, as well as provide a scaffolding to build toward your goals.

I also recommend everyone keep a pocket sized photo album with them to share their holiday snaps with employers and others.

Ask me what the hell I am talking about and why this is a good idea…

How we work?

Every situations is different, I am very flexible, however the basics are as follows:

  • We agree your goals. Without a clear focus we will not achieve anything together.

  • We agree on the level of formality between Pure Coaching and Strong Directive Mentoring.

  • We agree the frequency of interactions required to reach your goals.

Typical Coaching arrangements are as follows:

  • 3month commitment to a goal

  • 1 hour weekly zoom call

  • Tasks are agreed and are to be completed in between sessions. Not homework per se, but will help you reach your goal.

  • Ad-Hoc texting via WhatsApp / slack etc if you have questions or need to clarify something small.

My goal is to support you and your goal over the duration of our coaching programme together. If that means having more calls and more support then that’s ok. I am not interested in watching the clock and counting the minutes we work together.

Note: We also offer coaching for teams or for your organisation as a whole.
