Executive Coaching and Individual Leadership Development
If the chemistry is right ...
... then I know we’ll be able to achieve good things together as a coaching team!
Coaching
During almost 20 years in which I’ve been working as a coach I have seen the perception of coaching change significantly. Today it is something you do because your company or organisation believes in you and wants to offer you the most targeted and tailor-made personal development available.
The majority of coaching clients I work with have biographies similar to these:
- They are either well established, high performing senior executives who are looking to get even better at what they do and are often in a phase of taking on new tasks and greater responsibility.
- Or they are talented young managers with a strong development prognosis who have been offered specific and tailored support with their further development as managers and leaders.
In both cases, an ideal time for a coaching process is just before or at the start of a period of transition to a new position or specific new challenge. With this in mind, the series of half-day coaching sessions I offer are typically a mixture of two key elements:
Classical Coaching
Where we focus on aspects of behavioural style and personality which the coaching client would like to reflect upon and perhaps change and optimise, supported by an increase in self-awareness and the development of tools, methods and actions to ensure a more conscious and pro-active self-leadership.
Personalised Consulting
Where we focus on real situations from the coaching client’s daily work. We analyse these situations and challenges either retrospectively or prospectively and develop alternative ways to approach them. My role becomes that of a sparring partner, sounding board, plus coach and consultant, offering solution-oriented advice.

The Associates
Sometimes a project requires resources that go beyond those of a single person.
Paul Williams & Associates is a network of like-minded people, with varied but complementary skills and backgrounds, but a common spirit and sense of what is important in life in general and at work … and strictly in that order! We come together every so often on a project-driven basis and then return to our respective core businesses.
I have known and worked together with each of these people for many years and am happy to vouch for their integrity and the quality of their work with my own good name.
