Once upon a time, I was a Head Chef of a prestigious banqueting centre in Bristol (yes, I am a woman of many talents!). I was focused on tasks, deadlines, and making sure everything was running like clockwork. I thought that’s all it took. But then something happened that changed my perspective entirely! 🤔
It was a Monday morning (isn’t it always? 😅), and one of my new chefs — let’s call her Lisa — came to me with a problem. She was overwhelmed, struggling with her transition into a very busy kitchen, and honestly, I was too busy to give it much thought. I gave her a quick solution, and off she went. But a week later, Lisa’s performance was still slipping.

On my Success Squad, I have: How much clarity do you have about where you want to go❓
That’s what a business, leadership, and management coach like me can help with… 📌 Gaining clarity 📌 Setting clear goals 📌 Creating a map towards your goals 📌 Leading you through that map 📌 Reaching your goals The work with each of my clients is always focused around clarity, planning, and achievement! 👏 For example, a client might come to me feeling like their life and business are in a shambolic mess. They are working 16+ hour days, have no balance, and their team culture is suffering as a result… No one really knows what their roles are and the business, whilst busy, doesn’t seem to know where it’s going!

👍 I am straight talking, and will always share with honesty and empathy what I see and how I think we can improve your business. 👍 As an outsider, I can be objective, zooming out to show you the bigger picture. 👍 I am always willing to go where we need to go to get you where you want to be… If that means exploring aspects of your life outside of business, then I’m here for that. The world of ‘Coaching and Mentoring’ can feel like a minefield - especially if it’s something you haven’t looked into before!
So, in some of my calls this week, I decided to ask a few of my clients to describe the difference coaching with me has made to them in one word or phrase.

In fact, many of my clients arrived with their email inbox overflowing and their desks piled high (literally and figuratively!).
In my experience, leaders that do not keep their focus aligned with their goals are more likely to get lost in work that can be easily delegated, or in tasks that are irrelevant. I would also say that emotional overflow, such as stress or tiredness, as well as not trusting our teams are also common reasons why procrastination takes over! So, how can you stop procrastinating❓ As a business, leadership, and management coach, this is one of the questions I get asked the most…
I have spent lots of time with my clients helping them to improve their leadership skills and team relationships. In fact, I’d say it’s one of the most important areas for any leader to reflect on! So, today, I thought I’d share some pretty universal advice for all leaders out there… |
