Hello, leaders!
It’s Q1, and the year end has just passed. How’s your planning going for the financial year ahead?
Have you done your Q1 or annual plan? How are your targets and KPIs shaping up? And does everyone on your team have a clear sense of what you’re shooting for over the next year?
I’ve never met an executive who didn’t know what they wanted. After all, you know your organisation and its goals better than anyone. You’re dedicated, committed, and definitely busy! But, do you have a plan?
When you’ve got your head down with the day-to-day running of things, it can be difficult to find time to reflect. However, by taking the time to create a plan, communicate it clearly to your team and check in regularly on whether it’s working, you stand a much better chance of success.
Keeping on top of all of this alone isn’t easy, so having the support of a coach can really help to ensure that you stay on track - and that’s where I come in!
With experience of running multiple businesses myself, I know all about the challenges of keeping an eye on the bigger picture, whilst at the same time juggling a busy day-to-day workload (and all the other pressures of life!). With a broad range of experience in sectors such as the arts and education, I am able to bring a wealth of real-world knowledge to my role as an executive coach, working with leaders to define what success looks like for them, and rolling out realistic plans to make those desired outcomes a reality.
I specialise in creating one-year plans for the delivery of dreamy, next-level business outcomes. When we work together, we get stuck in and create a robust, measurable plan that aligns with your biggest aspirations. We set annual goals, and then break them down into monthly targets, keeping things on track and responding to the inevitable curveballs that a year in leadership throws at us.
Whether you’re looking for a one-off plan to take away and follow, or longer-term executive coaching to allow us to discuss and review your goals throughout the year, I can tailor my support to whatever best suits your needs. I’m also licensed to use The Curve ® to track progress - so if, like me, you’re motivated by seeing a visual measure of your success, then you will love this!
If you don’t have a plan for the coming year yet, don’t panic - I’m here to help, with support to guide you through all the opportunities and challenges in the months ahead.
