Team Coaching

Our coaching programs are designed to target the development of specific competencies, service outcomes, and performance results. I enjoy working with team and group dynamics and harnessing the strengths within. I have extensive experience turning around teams that may be considered dysfunctional or who have gotten stuck in the old status quo.

Team coaching can include participants such as team leaders, clinical staff, project managers, case managers, peer workers and frontline staff. We can also build in ‘train the coach’ elements, i.e. the group receives training in coaching skills, experiences coaching with the trainer and follow up support applying their skills.

Staff Coaching & Mentoring

Individual staff coaching and mentoring is an effective staff development strategy to ensure staff at all levels achieve expected results. We typically start with an assessment of current competencies with the staff member and their manager to create a tailored coaching program with a plan targeting specific areas of competence and development.

Coaching and mentoring can also support succession planning and future carer progression. I am very passionate about building the capacity of workers and fostering the carer advancement of those who may underestimate themselves or who through workplace cultures real or unconscious bias are regrettably overlooked.

I am a firm believer that leadership qualities are not necessarily overt and brilliant future leaders are often under our noses or within waiting on someone to believe in their potential.

WHY LEADERSHIP COACHING?

Leadership coaching benefits the individual and organisation by:

Enhancing performance. Coaching helps leaders more accurately examine their gaps and weaknesses, gain better perspective about their abilities and how to better make use of them. With the help of a coach, a leader can put their particular strengths to use in unique and unexpected ways and explore future career opportunities.

Harness a growth mindset. Health and community organisations increasingly need to set and meet ambitious KPIs, identify trends and new opportunities, diversify funding and scale existing programs. Leaders need to build positive cultures and high-performance teams and strive for continuous improvement day-to-day as well as also for achieving more ambitious outcomes. Leadership coaching can assist in becoming more agile, bounce back from setbacks, and think strategically.

A fresh perspective. We do not know what we cannot see. Taking a step back with an outside perspective can be extremely powerful when looking to make meaningful and lasting changes.

Confidence. Being in positions of leadership can be lonely. Having a coach’s support while making meaningful changes, including celebrating wins, can positively impact a leader’s confidence levels. Learn to take positive risks and embrace audacious goals and innovation instead of being intimidated by them.

Empower teams. Working with a coach can help those in leadership positions learn how to empower themselves and those on their teams.

Job and life satisfaction. By taking the time to step back and clearly assess their approach to work and leadership, people can better prioritise where they put their energy improving work/life balance. This can lead to better performance, retention and increased job satisfaction for not just the leader but their teams.

MY APPROACH

I adopt a strengths-based approach to coaching sessions. I bring a balance of clinical, organisational and research/best practice perspectives. I am curious. I enjoy working with clients to unpack the project and leadership challenges they face. It is within complexity and change that I thrive, bringing a calm and considered approach. I am motivated to help clients understand the ‘why and what if’s’ including identifying roadblocks within the work environment and themselves.

I seek to understand my client’s working style and seek incorporate their learning preferences while introducing clients to alternative ways of working. Utilising discovery-based frameworks we examine from multiple angles to identify several actionable strategies and solutions for achieving their goals. I pay equal attention to reflective practice, new learning and self-care. I love to help someone identify their strengths and the next steps in gaining skills and experience and foster confidence and growth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What’s the process?

Make contact and we can have an informal no-obligation chat about what you are looking for. If you are then interested in proceeding I will then send you via email a list of any further information or clarification I require before forwarding proposal for your consideration. We can then organize an onboarding meeting if required.
In what regions do you work?

I can provide Australia wide services. Where travel outside of metropolitan Sydney is required I do so with travel costs and per diems covered. Where possible in the planning stages I work online to keep costs down, and can deliver a number of services online if that is your preference.
What expertise do I bring?

I have worked within government and not-for-profit organisations as a clinical employee, sole project worker and manager establishing clinical, health promotion, community development and peer programs and as an executive director led high performance teams managing regional, state and national programs and campaigns with a division of 75 staff and over 200 volunteers, and establishing two fee-for-service programs. I have also managed regional offices and remote staff so understand the workplace shift of hybrid work. I draw upon my undergraduate studies and clinical expertise of individual, group and community behaviour and practices as a trained Occupational Therapist and post graduate studies in population health. I have an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management, and undertaken numerous short courses in change management, managing underperformance, giving and receiving feedback, coaching for high performance, managing underperformance, managing in times of disruption and uncertainty and clinical supervision. I am currently completing a Diploma in Leadership Management Coaching after which I will be eligible and seek to be accredited with the International Coaching Federation.
What is the cost?

I wish to offer an accessible service to community, not-for-profit and health organisations. I understand that not-for-profits and community workers have limited resources and discretionary funds so I aim to keep costs. I do this by providing sessions online, providing reduced not-for-profit rates and offering packages. I also provide electronic access to resources. If your preference is in-person then I can come to you for an additional cost. Please note costings are non-inclusive of GST and travel expenses for outside metropolitan Sydney.
Do you bundle and do packages?

Yes, I am happy to speak with you about what it is you are wanting to engage a consultant for. I am holistic in my approach and are able to explore what services I may be able to assist you with to achieve the outcomes you are looking for. If someone is wanting to bundle or develop a package of services, I will incorporate a saving.
Do you take on short-term projects

Yes, I enjoy taking on time-limited projects. Examples of projects I have taken on a consultant to date include co-design and consultation facilitation and writing a final report with recommendations for a national health strategy and project managing and writing the content and story boarding for an eLearning package. I particularly enjoy service development, health promotion project management and working with teams to build positive and productive cultures. Tell me what you are looking for from a consultant and I will let you know if I am the right fit for you.
