INVEST IN THINKING DEEPLY
Take time out from operational demands and engage with ways to think deeply.
As a Level 7 ILM leadership coach, I provide a safe space for undisturbed, unrushed, and unmistakably useful time for you to think. My commitment to coaching is affirmed every day with the success leaders achieve by investing quality time in exploration of themselves, their work and context, and their goals.
​
All the Think Deeply leadership training courses focus on three core strands: intellectual thinking, practical application thinking, and internal development thinking. I see first hand both the immediate and the long term gains made through this approach.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

Coaching can enable you to build on your strengths and celebrate your unique profile, and this in turn can help you develop your authentic leadership style.
-
Coaching an help you to analyse current systems, processes, ways of being and ways of doing, enabling you to spot the places where change will have a positive impact.
-
Coaching can help bring intentional thought into action, help you develop new habits, and support you to improve systems and processes.
-
Coaching can help you to be in the moment, process the complexities of being a leader, achieve better headspace for improved decision making and help you to achieve goals around well-being and thriving at work.
​​
Each coaching programme is unique to the leader. Some of my clients have very definite goals for coaching, and we work together to set out a structure and style of coaching that will help them achieve this. For other clients, goals are formed during the coaching process and become a north star guiding a more exploratory style of coaching.
If you have not experienced coaching before, I can help you to understand how to get the most from coaching. If you are looking for a blended approach, we can design a programme with the right balance of coaching, training, mentoring and advisory work that meets your current circumstances.
Testimonials
Sarah - Headteacher
I can’t tell you how much I have personally and professionally grown from my leadership coaching with Vicky. I cannot think of any other CPD that has had such an impact on me and as a result for my organisation. We are already seeing positive results in school due to this. Vicky’s skill in helping you to know what you need and how to do it brings real sustainable positive change to leadership.
Susan - Headteacher
I have really valued my coaching sessions with Vicky. The sessions have allowed me to look at challenges from different perspectives and look at practical and positive ways of meeting such challenges. Vicky’s knowledge and experience in the education sector has been of benefit and supported me in being reflective and objective in my role.
I found the sessions extremely helpful and have learnt a lots of ways to change the narrative of difficult conversations and other aspects of my work. I have brought in new operational elements and have improved my ability to think strategically. I believe I am more comfortable in directing people to the answers they need rather than fixing solutions myself. I make more of a proactive approach to delegating tasks in which I think has had a positive impact on certain individuals within the team as they are enjoying more responsibility. Business Manager.

Vicky has an amazing ability to listen and circle back to points raised which has really helped me to explore issues in depth. The sessions have been really useful, helping me see a way forward. Senior leader.

I have found it helpful to have specifically carved out time to reflect on my own personal and leadership development. This has helped me to plan for promotion opportunities in a more concise and strategic way. I have learnt aspects of my professional personality that I have found invaluable and I will continue to use this to help me to progress as a leader. I am delighted to say I was appointed on Friday!
