My Approach to Executive Coaching

My approach to Executive Coaching is client centred, working with each individual to achieve their desired outcomes.  My style is professional and eclectic. I prefer to work with a range of coaching techniques and to tailor a programme that exactly matches your needs and way of working.

I passionately believe in coaching and working with each individual to achieve their maximum potential.  This approach, therefore, looks at the individual in relation to all aspects of their life.  States of excellence are most likely to be achieved when the individual works with their natural talents, in an organisation that values their personal approach and enables the individual to achieve some balance between their work and personal life.

“No one could have been more cynical than me about the “coaching thing”.  I reasoned that I’d progressed a fair way without it.  It seemed more an exercise in political correctness than anything genuinely worthwhile. But about six months before being interviewed for the biggest job of my career, I was persuaded by a friend and colleague to give it a go.  After all, he reasoned, what have you got to lose – if it helps, good, if it doesn’t, you’ve wasted a couple of hours.  Perhaps he was just keen to see me move on…

Anyway, the results were, for me, transformational.  I was asked questions I’d never encountered before.  I was forced to analyse and think about areas and issues I’d never considered in 20 years. I was encouraged to reorganise, and address, weaknesses and gaps.  As a result, I ripped up and re-wrote my application for the post.  I changed completely my approach to the interview.  And having got the job, I have tried to change my entire approach to management, and more specifically, leadership.  And I’ve continued with the coaching programme, taking it into new areas.  It’s been, to a hardened cynic, a wholly positive and enlightening experience.”

Valerie Wark’s coaching transformed my professional life.  She gave me tools to achieve almost everything I wanted.  Starting a critical, demanding, higher level job, she got me to visualise exactly how I was going to go about it and then sustained me when the going got tougher.  She helped me look at difficult relationships and see how to get the most from them.  Every session with Valerie has been inspiring; every session has had at least one light bulb moment – often something simple, obvious and important but nevertheless an insight I would not have reached on my own.  I owe her huge gratitude.
