1-2-1 Leadership Coaching

The fact is, you are probably already good at your job. If you had to think back on your track record, you would probably remember the many accomplishments that you have had over your career.

However, you may also remember the times that you, an employee, or part of your senior team could have done better, if only you had more knowledge to make better decisions. Or the challenges you faced from other members of the organisation. Or from projects and time management.

Or even the challenges that you faced from yourself.

Helping meet and overcome these challenges is what One-to-One Leadership Coaching provides. Not only does it help leaders and senior managers excel by providing additional insight, but it also provides guidance to accelerate their performance, while allowing leaders to conduct their own research, gather their own conclusions, and ultimately set their own paths.

Just as most athletes have a Coach to enhance their performance, executives use Leadership Coaching to accelerate their career and analyse how they can become a top performer.

You should consider whether Leadership Coaching is right for you if you are looking

  • To manage significant change, get better results, solve a pressing problem, and/or take advantage of a major opportunity.
  • To rely on a trusted advisor who is credible, engaging and has a depth of business and leadership knowledge.

Testimonials

I was introduced to Level Up through a local business networking group about 18 months ago.  Transitioning from an HR career to Executive Search in 1997, I set up my own partnership over five years ago.  Although loving what I do, I couldn’t help feeling that we needed a bit of a refresh and have more focus on why our offering was different in a very crowded marketplace.

As an HR professional by background, I have met many business coaches; some better than others.  Although admittedly a little sceptical, I met Graeme Crosbie for coffee and soon felt that he ‘got me’ and understood why I was at a crossroads. We talked about how we might work together and what his kick start programme could offer. 

Having spent my whole career In the corporate world, I found I missed having a variety of people to brainstorm with.  Graeme has proved to be a strong business mentor.  The fact he also had a corporate background and had not worked with any other search firms proved to be a real asset.  He challenged my thinking and assumptions; we went back to basics and talked extensively about business and personal goals and how these could be achieved within realistic timelines.  

The kickstart programme was extremely useful.  For the first time in years, I found I actually dedicated quality time to thinking about what it was I wanted Theron to be.  We focused on what actually made us different; I stopped apologising for being a “small boutique” but learnt to embrace the good things about offering a bespoke, personal service to a few quality clients.  Of course I already knew the theory, but having to articulate USP’s and strategy to someone else makes it more ‘real’ and something you do as opposed to just having good intentions and never getting round to it because work takes over.  

Apart from growing revenue, we have had many successes including the redesign and relaunch of the website with genuine USP’s; extending our client base; recruiting a new Partner and maintaining focus and momentum.  

We are now on an Ontrack programme; meetings are less frequent, but they prove a useful medium for staying focused and doing the things I committed to do.  Some things continue to stay at the bottom of the pile, but I’m not sure that will ever change.  

Some of my network did not understand why I needed to see a business coach, especially with my background.  I have found it incredibly refreshing, not least because Graeme has helped me to look at things differently and has help me to add real value to my business.  I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommend him to other business professionals but only on the basis you want to take a cold hard look at yourself and realise that growth and change will only happen if you want it to.  Graeme can help, challenge and give an alternative perspective, but it’s down to you to do it.
