Where Next?
We all arrive at points where the next step is not clear.
Too many choices, no choices, difficult choices.
Often a brief pause and some reflection gets us unstuck
Coaching is for those situations where you need something more. Someone to sit on the ledge with you - and consider where you want to go next.
Ledge Coaching
company at the edge
We work on the basis that our clients are creative resourceful and whole. We're not here to 'fix'. Life is hard. we all get stopped in our tracks sometimes.
Company while you think things over can make all the difference. Nobody wants to be told what to do. We are with you for the journey, we hear, validate, challenge and help you set goals.
We specialise in getting you out of the stuck cycle, getting out of your head, getting into action with renewed energy and appetite.

What is Coaching?
Hear yourself out loud
Sometimes by accident - with people who know how to stay quiet and listen - you talk through a challenge from beginning to end and solution presents itself. Very occasionally that happens by serendipity or without any effort. Coaching is the art of making that happen every time, on purpose, and with greater speed
What is Coaching?
Define what works for you
When people give advice they are almost always telling you how to do what they would do. It can be like a monkey explaining to a fish how to climb a tree - frustrating for the fish and the monkey! We are all very different, we have different skills, different personalities, and there is no one single correct way to crack most challenges. Coaching is about finding a solution that comes from you, comes from your own understanding of your unique skills and abilities, and has integrity with your personality. The chances of you committing to and following through on that kind of action point is much higher because there is so much less friction. Lean into your sweet-spot, go in your own flow. Avoid getting stuck executing someone else's flawed plan for you.
What is Coaching?
Commit to action
How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time. At the end of every session you should have a few action points you commit to. Coaching helps you get out of your head and into action, the accountability of telling someone what you're going to do knowing that you're going to see them again in few days or weeks. One step at a time you will see transformation.
“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”

Understanding your Emotional Intelligence (EQi)
What is Emotional Intelligence?
“a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”
MHS EQi 2.0
Why is it Important?
Emotional intelligence covers all of the data we send, verbally, and non verbally to those around us, and also covers how we understand all of the data we receive back. Getting a better understanding of our EQ impacts just about every activity we do on a daily basis.
What can I do about it?
The EQi 2.0 assessment returns a score against 15 subscales, each representing a facet of your emotional intelligence. It allows you to very quickly and specifically come up with goals which will increase your EQ which means you will have more impact in every sphere of activity.

introducing the EQi 2.0 Workplace Report
Emotional Intelligence is proven to be a key indicator of human performance and development. People higher in EI communicate effectively, form strong relationships, and create powerful coping strategies. EI can be measured – more accessibly and less controversially than IQ – and unlike IQ, it can be substantially strengthened and developed
Introducing the EQi 2.0 Leadership Report
Every company has experienced instances where a leader within the organization shows strengths in core competencies necessary for the role, but may be exhibiting EI blind spots of which peers are taking notice. Or, a company finds an employee that exhibits great work ethic and is an emerging star amongst his/her peers, while showing comparable traits to leaders within the organization. In both scenarios, the Leadership Report can be used when honing in on leadership development, executive development and coaching, and developing high potential leaders. The Leadership Report examines results through four key dimensions: Authenticity, Coaching, Insight, and Innovation. The report also contains insights on the possible implications of results, and which skills have the highest potential of becoming leadership derailers. Strategies for development will be provided with the aim to attain true leadership potential, while being able to compare results against top leaders as a benchmark.

What our clients say about the EQI process
"The EQ-I assessment was incredibly eye opening and informative. I found it very useful to have benchmarks to assess myself against and a lot of what was highlighted in my results rang true. John was an incredible facilitator and helped me to dig in to the core areas for me to further develop my skills and provided me with the clarity, context and micro action steps I need in order for me to enhance my leadership skills. I’ve conducted many personal development tests before but this was the first that provided me with practical ways in which I can apply these learnings to evolve as a being in both professional and personal settings. I would highly recommended completing an assessment for yourself and your wider teams, valuable insights were unlocked and it was great to unpack these learnings with John."
