the joy of resilience

Deal with challenges head on, grow, thrive and learn to enjoy the hard stuff. 

If you are like the other executives I coach, you are clever, smart and well intentioned. Your job is dealing with strategy and problem solving. The days on the tools are getting fewer and fewer as your job relies on getting things done through other people. 

You are already successful, you get things done efficiently and have got it all together. Well, that’s what it looks like on the outside anyway.

On the inside, there is a lot going on. You dread having to deal with THAT person again who pushes your buttons, having to sit through yet another unproductive meeting that you just can’t seem to call out as such, or have yet another go at getting people on board with your strategy. Some days you head home exhausted, either through holding it all in, not knowing how or not prepared to call things out, or because the floodwaters broke and you said something you shouldn’t have. 

People look to you for strength and clarity. And you can do it, projecting a calm and confident exterior - but it comes at a personal cost which not many people realise.

The good news is that I have coached Executives just like you to be more effective. Working with mindset, beliefs, self mastery, resilience and communication and skills.

In all honesty with the workload that has come in over the last couple of months, I don’t actually know if I would have shown much resilience at all if I had not worked through some of Mel’s strategies! RK

I back myself to get you where you want to be. 

Don’t be that executive that gets passed over for promotion, because all of your hard work is let down by the way you talk to yourself and others. Make yourself a promise that 2021 will be your year.  I’m here to help. 

Lets face it, easy is overrated.

Coaching with Mel during a difficult period in my professional and personal life has helped me to gain clarity, see things from different perspectives and make sound decisions. She is an excellent listener and her wise and well-placed questions have enabled me to shift my thinking and experience break through’s that I would not have without her guidance. Jo

I am a Neuroleadership Institute trained coach with five years of experience coaching CEOs, founders, and leaders of all levels. Combining this with my 20 years of practical leadership experience, and commercial nous, I bring a unique lens to coaching. My niche is bringing the human element back into the workplace. This combination of the human element and the practical, commercial and analytical is what sets me apart. 

DO YOU NEED A SOUNDING BOARD?

A recent client needed a sounding board. As CEO of a growing organisation, she needed someone to bounce ideas off, plan for upcoming change, and get advice on how best to evolve the culture of her organisation.

DO YOU NEED TO IMPROVE AN AREA OF YOUR LEADERSHIP?

A recent client was highly respected with a sought after opinion. However as he had become more senior in the organisation, his communication skills needed improving. We worked together to help him take control of his emotions so he could always get the right message across.

ARE YOU A NEW LEADER WITH GREAT POTENTIAL?

I have worked with countless new leaders or managers who are navigating people leadership for the first time. We work through challenges as they arise, each time adding to their competence and confidence.
