Leadership Coaching
“Claudia brings a deep level of insight to her coaching work. She is able to identify and help resolve specific challenges. She has a broad set of tools to do this and is especially resourceful in applying them. I recommend her without hesitation.”
A Professional Certified Executive Coach with the ICF, I help leaders develop greater capacity for navigating today’s complex business landscapes. I do this by enabling them to have better awareness of themselves and more productive ways of seeing things. The process I use involves looking closely at language, emotions and physiology - all the aspects of what it is to be human. These aspects influence how we are perceived by others and more importantly, how we perceive ourselves, our place in the world and our potential.
I love creating space for people to be fully themselves and talk about what matters deeply to them. I’m not here to tell you what to do, but rather a partner who listens, asks questions, and offers insights and tools that open you to new or different ways of thinking and acting.
With 18 years of corporate retail experience (working at senior line management level in the UK and South Africa) I have insight into the pressures, challenges and opportunities that leaders and team members in demanding work environments face. This understanding together with my extensive coaching and leadership development background gives me the skills to help my clients navigate increasingly complicated work and personal lives. I often think, if only I’d known back then what I've since learned in my coaching career!
I believe being a resourceful leader starts with developing greater presence. The way we relate to others, build trust and solve problems is shaped by how we see and lead ourselves.
I’m a Professional Certified Leadership Coach with the ICF. I can help you to:
Observe your own patterns of thinking, speaking and reacting with greater clarity
Learn to change habits that aren’t serving you
Experience more ease, despite challenging circumstances
See your context, team dynamics or the difficulties you face more objectively
Maintain emotional composure in the midst of complex and unsettling situations
Overcome imposter syndrome
Increase your visibility in a way that’s aligned with your values
Have more honest and effective, yet respectful conversations
Improve work-life balance
Give feedback and manage conflict with equanimity
Develop practices and build a set of tools to maintain the shifts you make in coaching.
“I found our sessions very useful and it was easy to implement personal strategies longer term. Claudia’s approach was well suited to my needs and something that I looked forward to. I would recommend Claudia as a coach to leaders at all levels.”
One-to-one leadership coaching is focused around your particular needs.
Typically:
8 sessions weekly or every 2 weeks
Online
I work in-person too if you prefer and are based in Cape Town
1 hour, but 45 minute or 1.5 hour sessions are also possible.
Where helpful, I work with assessments such as 360 feedback, the Enneagram, Positive Intelligence and Identity Maturation frameworks. These can be extremely useful in allowing you to gain a more objective view of yourself and can help us know where to focus.
“Claudia helped me to uncover my thinking and automatic response patterns in different situations and with genuine listening and deeper exploration of these patterns together, she offered practical strategies for changing them. Claudia is a very empathetic, inspiring and solution-oriented couch and her support and knowledge was invaluable in this journey.”
