for Leaders and Senior managers
Every decision you make, every action you take, every conversation you have, and the way you show up as a leader each day — through your presence, behaviour, and reactions— has an enormous impact on the business.
Our work together aims to enhance the level of those actions, decisions, behaviours and leadership capacities.
Beyond becoming a better decision-maker, strategic thinker, and communicator, the real focus for me was on creating an environment where everyone—my team, peers, and family—could thrive.
Why Transformational Executive Coaching?
I believe that everything that really matters in our organizations is shaped by the culture and environment created by each individual leader.
These cultures are created through their behaviours, what they tolerate, and their ability to hold themselves and each other accountable. Additionally, their ability to speak their truth and hold the various relevant and important conversations contributes significantly.
We are expected now more than ever, to access qualities such as empathy, leadership presence, compassion, humility, courage and vulnerability and to drive greater cooperation across organisational boundaries in increasingly virtual and remote workforces.
Why Now?
It is becoming increasingly important for you, as a leader to continuously focus on your personal and professional growth, develop the emotional and relational intelligence and self-regulation that will support these qualities. It will also help you become a better thinker, learn to embrace discomfort, make better decisions and less mistakes. You will notice how much more productive, collaborative, innovative and creative you can be, leading to ultimately being an exceptional leader.
It starts with You.
You know, as a leader, the hardest person you will ever lead is yourself. When you can finally lead yourself through life’s many challenges and difficulties, you will find that leading others becomes pretty straight-forward.
We can all be so hard on ourselves really? Can’t we? We work long and hard, often pushing ourselves to the limit – yet, we question ourselves! Are we doing enough? Are we doing it right? Are WE enough?
We often get sucked down the rabbit hole of unhelpful thoughts, emotions and feelings and sometimes that wondering, doubting and questioning ourselves that happens when we’re down there, often leads us to projecting and expressing that doubt in unhelpful ways. This of course, leads to an equally unsavoury response and reaction from the other person which is, in turn, their own projection, defensive and protective behaviours manifesting themselves as resistance, reaction, drama, tension and conflict.
On top of this, we are all in the relationship business. Everyone of us. No matter our role, relationship is first. And as with Leadership, often the hardest relationship we have to navigate is the relationship with ourselves.
Transformational Executive Coaching is right for you when you commit to taking personal responsibility for your own life, your career, your experiences, your behaviours, your reactions and inactions and your relationships.
She is incredibly insightful, skilled at getting to the nub of any issue and most encouraging when it comes to delivering on the key elements that will propel your success.
My Approach
I am not an expert in what you do! I like to think my expertise lies in How you do what you do, why you do what you do and what might interfere with you doing what you want to do.
To this, I bring deep human connection, listening beyond the words, immense safety, empathy, courage, respectful challenge and unconditional positive regard.
Transformational Executive Coaching is a true journey of self discovery where we also embrace the emotional, intuitive and deeper aspects of ourselves, allowing us to bring all of who we are to work.
You will be offered the space, skills, perspective and awareness to develop the clarity required to maximise your contribution as a leader within your own team and the overall business. Coaching is typically delivered as a combination of a series of scheduled coaching sessions on Teams, together with face-to-face time, when appropriate – as you choose. You will also have access to me, if required, between sessions.
All Transformational coaching interventions are always aligned with personal, developmental and business goals and objectives thus allowing for better overall decision-making abilities and clarity around priorities.
It is typically a 14 hour programme held over a 6 month period, as agreed. However, the coaching is less about the number of hours, or months, and more about me acting as a professional partner who facilitates the development of your leadership capacity and your ability to build stronger teams, better communication and a thriving culture through a customised approach.
Working with Mary T is like being given a traveler’s guidebook to your own well-known and well-treaded neighborhood. If you care to open it – even if you don’t think you’d need to – you will discover, on a daily basis, all the sights and places of interests you really didn’t see before or realized were there.
What will you gain?
You will emerge with higher levels of consciousness, the inter- and intra-personal skills to build deeper, stronger relationships with each other, with clients and with yourself leading to better decision making, higher levels of productivity, high performing teams and thriving cultures.
The impact that Transformational coaching has on the business is significant, as you continue to define and refine your piece and place in the business.
My coaching also aims to:
Enhance your leadership competencies, accountability and personal capacity to enable you to draw out your own resourcefulness. Co-create outcomes that are aligned with agreed coaching, developmental and performance objectives.
Enhance your leadership presence, impact and communication, especially in how to facilitate important conversations in a nonjudgemental way.
Offer a deep understanding and ability to move beyond any un-helpful behavioural patterns and belief systems that no longer serve you.
Empower you to navigate uncertainty and complexity by becoming a more conscious, courageous and brave Leader.
Expand your understanding of interpersonal dynamics to engage with your colleagues, clients and stakeholders in a more effective, influential way and generally be more comfortable in your own skin.
Generate paradigm shifts, radically changing how you experience yourself and the world around you.
