Recent Coaching Assignments

  • Development coach to sales manager of a large MNC. This individual was leading a sales team in Southern China and was seen as high potential but not perceived to be leading effectively. Through a reflective approach, he was able to see that he needed to improve his communication style and also control his temper to build trust with his people. By prioritising work more effectively he was able to find more time on the overall strategy and on people development.


  • Development coach to a manager of one of the world's leading advertising companies who was seen as a potential candidate for a much larger position. His challenge was that despite that he felt a great passion for people; his people did not see his actions demonstrating passion for their development. With several conversations face to face supported by phone calls, the coachee came to understand that as a leader, he needed to demonstrate how he felt for his people to see that he cared. The coachee was committed to making this shift even though it was not easy.


  • Development coach to customer service manager of an MNC. The coachee had been an experienced engineer for many years before assuming a manager role. His challenge was to build and lead a team instead of a group of engineers. Through questioning and probing for deeper reflection, the coachee was able to list a few things that he would do that would gradually build him up to manage people instead of manage things. The impact was that he became more influential and more confident in people management.
