Variety is the spice of life

So they say!

It's certainly the case in my career. I've worked in many different places, for several different businesses, performing numerous roles. And it has taught me that I need that variety in my working life in order to stay fresh, energised and performing at the top of my game.

One of the beautiful things about being an Executive Coach is that no two coaching sessions are the same, either, and that's just perfect!

Take one of the businesses I work with.

There might be a perception that bringing in a coach to work with a group of senior individuals in a business would lead to similar issues being discussed, similar challenges being raised, and similar outcomes being achieved.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

In fact, the reality is the opposite to that.

• One client is focused on their own performance, becoming the best they can be at their specific role in the business
• Another is working on getting the balance right between the strategic and operational parts of their role
• Another is investing heavily in the development of their team
• A fourth is exploring how to think more strategically about the business opportunities they are presented with
• And another is working on their leadership style and how they can engage their people in the business vision and goals more effectively

So there's a real mix of focus areas, priorities, and opportunities.

And I'm confident every one of those clients will succeed in achieving their goals.

Which speaks volumes about the commitment to coaching by each of them, as well as the investment by their sponsor organisation in the development of the senior team.

And this in turn should pay back many times over for the business, in terms of diversity of thought, engagement, loyalty, and successful results.

So it's a classic win-win-win scenario.
