Coaching for Individual Executives​​

​
Some examples of past coaching assignments:

​

• Senior executives from ADCO, ZADCO, GASCO, Dubai Petroleum and Dubai and Federal UAE Governments as part of the UAE/Ashridge Leadership Programme. The main focus was to improve confidence and competence in leadership skills and styles appropriate to the culture and demands of these government and government controlled organisations.
   

• More than 60 Fast Track Leaders over a 3 year period on the Ashridge Civil Service Future Leader's Programme.
   

• The Senior Executive from Petrocom (Ghana) - responsible for regulating oil and gas in Ghana, as well as all government policies relevant to the industry and the offshore environment, as part of the Ashridge Transformational Leader Programme over a 6 month period. The main focus was to enable him to set up the necessary structures and networks to co-ordinate this process, which was still in its infancy.
   

• Further UK based clients include Glaxo, Volvo, BAA, Sainsburys, Capitol Radio and BP on the same Ashridge Transformational Leader Programme.

 

Which executives can benefit from coaching?

“The individuals in any organisation form its most important asset. If you offer them coaching you send them a clear message that they are both valued and supported.” Sally Klewin – Head of Coaching FLUK
 

• Those new to a leadership role

• Those facing any kind of change or transition in the role, function or personal life (for example a geographical move)

• Those who need to respond to organisational change in culture and structure - for example hybrid working post lockdown
  
   

What does the 1:1 coaching process entail?
 

• Once a need for coaching has been established a coach is assigned to an individual executive. There is an initial conversation to establish whether there is a “fit” of coach to client and to clarify what expectations the client has of the coaching process.

• Providing the conversation goes well, the coach then contracts with the individual to work with them 1:1 over an agreed period of time to achieve certain objectives, to be carried out at specified intervals within that time period

Head of Executive Coaching

​

My approach to coaching:

​

“I am a firm believer in establishing an initial foundation of trust with my coaching clients and developing from this point, a strong working relationship in which I act as catalyst - challenging and encouraging the client to take charge of their own development in terms of both confidence and competence.”

 

Sally's journey to this point, has given her the confidence to head up our Executive Coaching 
 

• Following 15 years in HR and Learning and Development management, Sally joined Ashridge Business School as a Leadership Faculty Associate, working as a tutor, facilitator, consultant and executive coach

• During this 20 + year period, she also established and ran her own Executive Coaching practice.

• In both environments, she worked with clients 1:1 and in groups throughout the world, but mainly the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
   

Her approach is person centred and problem-solving in orientation, but includes a full range of coaching styles and techniques appropriate to individual's needs. She regularly uses a range of personality and 360 degree instruments in her coaching practice to enhance coachee's self-awareness, and is qualified in their use through the British Psychological Society. Her formal coaching training was carried out by Henley Business School, leading to the Certificate in Professional Coaching, as part of the Henley/University of Reading Masters programme.
