EXECUTIVE COACHING

One to one coaching is the ultimate in targeted support for your leaders with total individualisation, maximum impact and zero waste.   Having a skilled coach focus on one person for a block of time can unlock potential more than anything we have seen in our years in business. Killer Whale Coaching specialises in coaching leaders working in Financial and Professional Services. 


We offer a panel of experienced coaches for executive and leadership coaching. Our goal as coaches is to improve the world, one powerful conversation at a time. We work with our clients to help them see what improving their world will look like and help them unblock the hurdles to achieving more for their careers, business and wider lives. 

5S Model of Leadership Development

Leaders often come to us when they are feeling stuck at a certain level and want to break through to the next level of seniority or have been promoted to a senior post and are offered support to make the transition successfully.

​We developed the 5S model of leadership development from analysing the key themes that come up in the executive coaching room. While the sessions will always be led by the client, this model can be a helpful framework to help break down where a client currently is versus where they want to be. This model also forms the basis for our signature group coaching programme – Leadership Transitions.

Setting: What is happening in your current organisation? Are you clear on the organisation's objectives and goals? Are you clear on the behaviours that will drive your success in this role and the next one?

Style: What is your dominant leadership style? How does your team describe you? And your peers? Is this a style that is supporting you and your business to achieve your objectives?

Skills:  What are your current, dominant leadership skills? Are there any gaps that you want to fill? Are these skills aligned to your Setting?

Stakeholders: Who are your key stakeholders, internal and external? What role are they playing in supporting you and your objectives? What is your approach to communications with them? How could it be improved?

Self: What patterns of behaviour are you bringing into play in your daily transactions? Where are you blocked and holding yourself back? What daily leadership habits create your current reality? If you changed your approach how would that change your outcomes? What beliefs are you being run by?

Through a client centred yet methodical approach we can use the 5S model of leadership development to take a 360 view of the leader and support the leader in taking tangible actions. 

However, all executive coaching sessions are fully client led and we work to our clients' agenda.

KILLER TEAM

Our coaches have a wealth of experience across different industries and environments.

The common thread is our commitment to having powerful conversations and delivering results for our clients. 

 

Whether the client is looking for a promotion plan, more focus in the current role, leading with impact, dealing with imposter syndrome or their inner critic, understanding their strengths or developing their self-leadership and self-awareness, we have a coach to fit. 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Heather has the ability to combine great professionalism with a wicked sense of humour and capacity to never take herself too seriously..   

She reminds me of a quote from Michael J Gelb 

'...over-seriousness is a warning sign for mediocrity and bureaucratic thinking.  People who are seriously committed to mastery and high performance are secure enough to lighten up'
