LEADERSHIP COACHING
Success doesn't come to you ... You go to it! Authentic Leaders create a clear aligned vision, focus direction and values to take conscious action for the good of all.
The ever-changing business environment places increasing demands upon the motivations, skills and abilities of leaders, and it is essential to understand these if high performance is to be sustained. A coaching programme focuses upon achieving and sustaining enhanced performance within the business environment. Most of us only use a small percentage of our potential at work. Placed in the context of a team, how much untapped potential is being wasted in your organisation every day? Coaching leaders enhances their awareness of these issues, helps them to identify the strengths of their employees and the obstacles preventing these strengths from being fully utilised. Coaching then helps to develop this awareness into action by helping leaders to take responsibility for positive change. Coaching can be of great value to individuals on a personal level, helping them attain a more satisfying work-life balance, as well as having a positive impact on performance and results at work, thus contributing to the success of the business as a whole. This approach has had proven success in transforming the work place into a productive, successful and happy environment in which all can thrive.

TESTIMONIALS "I have been working with Suzanne for over a year now, during that time she has helped me to grow as a person and as a leader in many ways.
Suzanne provides me with 1:1 leadership training on a regular basis, often as a manager I deal with a lot of challenging issues with my team, organisation, customer and relationships, which are hard to work through with my peers or manager, so we work actively on issues and she helps me with practical ways of moving things forward. She comes up to speed so quickly and is able to help me straight away, be it to help me plan a team building session that I am thinking of running with my team or resolving a very complex relationship management issue with my customer. Having actions to complete and tips that I can use immediately, result in positive outcomes for me and my company and I have grown as a leader as a result.
Working with Suzanne has also helped me deal with the level of stress I face and take on and helped me realise the impact personal issues can have on my professional life and vice versa, so being able to focus our sessions on issues of importance at the time is fantastic and collectively each one strengthens me emotionally ... which has a flow on effect in all aspects of my life.
When I first started with Suzanne I had a goal to set goals both professionally and personally. I now have set and achieved more goals than I can count and have clarity around my future career and life goals, which was something I really needed. The question 'what do I want to be doing in 5 years or longer' has finally becoming clearer.
I know with Suzanne that I get to that point of 'I am stuck on the roller coaster again and I need to get off' with everything going on in my busy life, that she is only an email away to provide support and constructive advice and I then get to look forward to the time we spend tallking to dig that little bit deeper and manage whatever needs managing to feel in control. I look forward to continuing to work with Suzanne as I continue to succeed and grow in my career and personal life."

"I have only worked with Suzanne Masefield for a short period of time but have made substantial changes and seen amazing results that have helped me to grow as a person, a coach and a leader. I’d recommend Suzanne’s coaching services to anyone trying to maximise their potential. I was promoted into a leadership role but found that there was little in the way of training available to help me deal with the new challenges. By the time I started to work with Suzanne, I was coming off the back of an arduous project leading a large team, with long hours, tight timeframes and high stress levels. All in all I was pretty wound up, defensive and miserable. Our sessions have been a safe, trusting and supportive space away from work in which to step back, reflect and work on me. Suzanne has a knack of getting to the bottom of an issue quickly, identifying possible causes and the effects of thoughts and behaviours. I left each session with a series of tools and exercises that immediately helped me to start to redress the balance and helped to resolve/improve the situation. These tools are working. Overall I feel more balanced and like I’m actively living my life. I no longer feel stuck on the roller coaster. I feel much stronger, more secure and confident that I’m ok and that I can do my job really well. These changes have been rewarded too as I’ve just been given a new role – high profile, huge responsibility and extremely challenging. I love it! I am in control of my destiny and the sky is the limit". TELECOM NZ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "It was really great having the 8 coaching sessions. I must admit when I first started, I was a bit sceptical about what I could achieve, but I chose to give it a go anyway. Now, I realise that only the sky is the limit, this has been a great discovery for me. I feel wonderful that I am actually in charge and can do the things to achieve what I want. I really appreciate all the guidance you have given to me during this time, this has helped me dramatically to uncover myself more and be more productive in business as well." C Lee - Senior Manager The Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited "Like many managers, I was promoted to the position because I was good at my job. I had no previous managerial experience and was given little in the way of training or support to deal with the plethora of new challenges I was facing. It was expected that because I was good at the job, I would be able to manage people – but that is an unfair assumption. I needed a whole new set of skills to be able to succeed in my new position. Luckily for me, that’s where Suzanne came in. She has helped me to understand how to identify and deal with people’s fears and emotions, both factors that play a huge role in performance and job satisfaction, but also both factors that are often overlooked in the work environment. Suzanne has helped me to understand why people behave as they do and has provided me with tools and techniques to overcome the obstacles that prevent people from achieving their potential. Together, we have focused on team building, which has enabled me to engage people, make them feel involved and encourage them to be receptive to change. I have learnt how to open up channels of communication, show people the tangible benefits of change and help them to take responsibility for their performance and for making this a better place to work. As a result, we have moved from working as a group of individuals to working as a cohesive team. My leadership coaching programme with Suzanne has not only given me confidence in my own abilities as a manager, it has also resulted in many positive changes for the department. I used to take on a lot of extra work myself in order to get the team to where it needed to be, but now I feel confident in delegating, coaching and supporting others. This means a lot less stress for me personally, increased job satisfaction for me and the team, and a noticeable positive change in office dynamics and morale. I worked hard to get company funding for this coaching programme for myself and my colleague, but I believe the benefits have been huge and I look forward to Suzanne helping the company on a larger scale in the future. I am confident that any organisation, big or small, would benefit greatly from investing in leadership coaching". Team Leader Publishing Services Wolters Kluwer Health | Adis
