executive coaching

Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching helps leaders assess their business’s collective and individual strengths and weaknesses. This will help you to plan and meet the challenges of greater business performance while balancing the performance with sustainable effort and a positive organisational culture.

Group Coaching

Group Coaching focusses on increasing the power of your internal communications, morale and cohesive team effort to increase your business and individual performance. At the same time nurturing a positive, supportive team culture that reinforces your staff retention and productivity.

People Development

The power in an organisation is its individuals. Powerful individuals create powerful organisations. Investment in yourself or your executive to expand your confidence and knowledge is not only empowering on an individual level but will help you take more control of your time, your role and your outcomes. 

Crisis Coaching

Sometimes things go wrong and you are so close to the action its hard to take perspective or to see solutions. The Confidante can provide you with the business support you need to make space, calm the noise and encourage affirmative action toward sustainable business practices. Everyone needs a hand sometime.
