“I want to solve some important problems”

A senior director in an energy company wished to resolve tensions and conflicts with his Board colleagues. Coaching allowed him to explore why these problems were happening and to look at his own approaches and what he could do to change and influence his colleagues.

The outcome was an increased level of co-operation, decreased hostility and more personal satisfaction.

“I wanted to thank you for your very valuable encouragement & practical advice, which I will follow up. I have got much from you – all ‘over and above’ what I perceive your obligations to be.

Your enthusiasm for my ideas is really spurring me on. I am very motivated to do something actively and all your advice and support gives me lots of pointers for this journey, you have certainly made a difference to me.”
