SERVICES
At Leadership Performance we focus on individual, team and business success through a highly tailored coaching and mentoring approach. We support leaders' career progress, performance in role, and also advise leaders of small businesses as they grow.
CLIENTS
We work with clients both large and small. Whether it is coaching leaders in large organisations, working one to one with individuals to support their career growth and performance or advising leaders of small businesses in how to build a successful, growing and sustainable organisation. Our approach to each is tailored to your needs, goals and aspirations.
ABOUT US
Leadership Performance was conceived by a desire to share experience, knowledge and wisdom with leaders of all backgrounds and levels at important stages of their careers, to help build their capability and performance.
Our core strength lies in 3 discreet areas:
Career Transition Support - where we work with individual leaders to support their career transition. This could cover some or all of career planning, market insight, transition preparation, resume and social marketing approaches, working with recruitment agents and interview process preparation, practice and success strategies.
Performance Coaching - we use a Leadership Performance Model to support the development of the individual and their leadership skills, and measure performance improvement over time to demonstrate the value. Each participant has a quarterly plan with clearly articulated goals, which the participant and coach work toward in partnership. We are also able to access relevant psychometric tools to provide insight and analysis to help guide the coaching interaction. Through the quarterly plan, value is demonstrated, by providing measurable data to highlight performance gains.
Small Business Advisory - we work with small business owners to create strategies and approaches to build their business in a sustainable manner, creating wealth for themselves and their partners. Many small business owners spend too much time working in the business rather than on the business. We provide the space and experience to guide owners through the challenges of the growth cycle avoiding the pitfalls that can occur.
Our approach is highly tailored to the individual’s needs, so that we can walk ‘in their shoes’ and partner them to drive success. This approach requires commitment and accountability from both parties, and when this happens, we drive better results, faster.
