Charlie is an accredited Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) coach, Charlie works with executives to build leadership capability, adaptability and confidence under the demanding conditions of organisational leadership.
With hundreds of hours of 1-2-1 and team coaching under his belt Charlie has helped his clients to become more conscious, effective managers and leaders, gain more balance in their personal and working lives and ultimately improved performance and deliver results.
Unlike many consultancies, Charlie doesn't come in and 'do your strategy for you'. Nor will you be subjected to a torrent of theory and then left with a hefty strategy document that nobody will ever read let alone implement. Instead, Charlie will work with you, your team and a select group of stakeholders to co-create and clarify your ambition, your strategic priorities and longer term direction, and more immediate next steps.
Typically over a 3-6 month period, Charlie will guide the whole strategy development process, as involved or as light-touch as you require, providing 20+ years of experience, insight and best practice from organisations across the globe. Being true to a clear set of guiding principles (rather than one single methodology), Charlie will centre the process around a series of bespoke workshops and practical, insightful interventions, that Charlie will design and facilitate based on your needs, requirements and context.
He will also ensure that the outputs are tangible and achievable, that the team is fully on board with the chosen direction and that the work is brought together into a powerful, strategic narrative that your wider team and stakeholders will understand, believe and own.
