WHY DO SENIOR LEADERS NEED OUR SERVICES?
As a senior or executive leader, you work incredibly hard, under pressure, to ensure your organisation thrives. At times, your workload is so high, that you don’t have time to reflect or consider alternative ways of working through your obstacles and achieving your goals. Our services are designed to help leaders to find a better balance, to foster renewed energy, purpose and passion for leadership, whilst building healthy habits to protect your own wellbeing.
At Claire Platt Coaching and Consultancy, we aim to make a positive difference to your organisation, strengthening leadership to contribute towards a healthy culture, staff wellbeing and professional development, as well as to support improved outcomes for students.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Women leaders in midlife have often attained a senior or executive role, but also face a unique set of challenges that can significantly impact on your personal and professional lives. These challenges often go unaddressed by traditional coaching approaches, leading to a range of issues that can affect both wellbeing and performance.
-
Isolation and Self-Doubt: The complexities of leadership roles can create a sense of isolation, as leaders grapple with seemingly insurmountable problems. This isolation can gradually erode confidence and decision-making abilities, fostering self-doubt and uncertainty. Coaching can help you be self-assured in your strategy and can help you to prepare for the toughest conversations which need to be had.
-
Work-Life Imbalance: Women in leadership positions during their 40s and 50s often face a perfect storm of responsibilities. They may be simultaneously raising families, caring for ageing parents, and navigating the physical and psychological changes associated with menopause. This confluence of demands can lead to overwhelm and a poor work-life balance. Coaching can help you find a better balance for yourself, your organisation and your family, and enable you to hold boundaries to ensure that you thrive.
-
Purpose and Passion: Over time, the day-to-day pressures of leadership can cause some leaders to lose touch with their initial passion and sense of purpose. This disconnection can leave them feeling adrift and unfulfilled in their roles. Time to reflect and discuss your role in coaching sessions can help you to reconnect with your purpose, while you consider whether to remain in your current role, or make a change in role to reignite that fire and passion.
-
Strained Relationships: As the emotional burden of leadership intensifies, it can take a toll on relationships both at work and at home. This strain can further exacerbate feelings of isolation and stress. Coaching sessions will give you time to consider tricky relationships in a safe, confidential space. We will work together to plan ways in which you can build and strengthen relationships at work, including the use of courageous conversations.
Research indicates that these combined pressures can manifest in various ways, including disrupted sleep patterns, increased anxiety levels and deteriorating mental health. These issues, if left unaddressed, can create a cycle of stress that impacts both personal wellbeing and professional effectiveness.
