Objectives
- To develop his self-awareness and strengthen his emotional intelligence
- To heighten his resilience when understanding how to deal with challenges and solving problems
- To articulate his message clearly and build his influencing toolkit to achieve the company vision
- To enhance his abilities and skills to lead, motivate and drive his high-performing team to successfully navigate change and remain high-performing
Our Approach
After an initial chemistry meeting with two of our coaches, Brent contracted to a programme of 12 hours of coaching support with Aziz coach Ian. The first and last session involved his line manager to agree and review his objectives. The coaching sessions focused on:
- Brent’s vision for Cadent Gas and his role in communicating this to others.
- Emotional intelligence to gain greater awareness of self and others and flex behaviours and approaches to include others with different personality preferences.
- Strengthening self-confidence by exploring drivers, growth mindset, beliefs, biases and behaviours – especially on stage and in exec meetings.
- Practising storytelling skills to influence the wider business, boosting connection and conviction in front of others.
- Increasing resilience by focusing on breathing, meditation and presence and addressing work-life balance issues.
- Discovering resources and perspectives to face challenges and move from having skills to having influence.
Outcomes
With a heightened awareness, Brent was more aware of his blind spots and discovered that his own personal beliefs and personality traits were impacting his leadership approach. He learnt:
- to better read situations and respond more considerately
- skills to get his point across faster and with more punch
- techniques to influence colleagues and the senior leader team
- to fully understand his role as a leader, providing a clear vision and driving a high-performing team
