About You
You watch your leadership team and wonder when they’ll come into their real power.
When will x realise how able he really is and stop second guessing himself?
When will y start sharing more with the others and use collaboration to lead even better?
When will z stop seeing threats to her department in every initiative so she can trust and build with the others.
You recognise your responsibility
-
For the people in your team
-
For the clients you serve
-
For the suppliers you partner with
-
For the difference you vowed to make in your sector and to all you serve
However, sometimes you’re not sure you’re getting the support you need from your leadership team.
I have conversations all the time with founders who would like more/different from their leadership team
… My operations director is insecure in his abilities, so he leans on me (founder) and this impacts the respect he commands from his team – and eats into my time…
…My son and sister both work in the business, however they are not always the example they should be for other members of the team. I get really conflicted trying to uphold the right values at work whilst managing the peace at home…
… My management team are in the process of buying me out, but I’m finding myself resolving conflicts between them still! I’m worried they will not succeed if I back away as much as I’d like to (& failure would impact their ability to complete the buyout…)
And those conversations lead to comments like
…I can feel more able to say the unpopular things and this has made me much more decisive. Interestingly, this has not impacted relationships the way I’d expected! I feel respected instead of hated
…You helped me see how her antagonism was coming from a place of insecurity. Our conversations about how to explore this with her have helped us both understand each other much better, and the rest of the team have relaxed considerably
…I realise now that I hadn’t been consistent enough regarding my values and the confusion caused was leading to cynicism which was hurting the business
About Me
I’m Ola.
I’ve been a coach since 2019.
Before that I was a consultant.
I have 30+ years’ experience of consulting with small start-up companies and with large multinational organisations – every time my goal has been to achieve growth and change. Sometimes it was changing processes, other times it was systems, in some cases it was mergers, and I’ve also assisted with layoffs. I’ve saved organisations millions and raised millions in investment.
Since becoming a coach, I’ve combined my consulting knowledge and experience, with an ability to help people see and understand their own insecurities and/or blockages – this means the change I help facilitate is now much more people-centric and embedded – leading to greater acceptance by all involved and therefore much more success.
In addition to coaching qualifications, I hold an MBA and a nutrition diploma.
In my work, I find that seeing my clients as fully rounded individuals means we combine the professional dimension with homes, families, physical and mental health dimensions, bringing balance into all aspects.
I’d be delighted to have a conversation about the changes you’d like to make. Use the link below to book a complimentary session. I look forward to speaking soon.
