Depth Leadership Coaching
Enabling Great Leaders
“Social systems and institutions are necessary, but even more important are the hearts and minds of the people who operate those systems”.

My Mission
Transforming leadership and organisations from the inside - out.
We are currently living in what has been dubbed the VUCA age – an age of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. At this point in history we are faced with the consequences of actions that have stemmed from identifying with a particular way of thinking. How can we change the type of thinking that has caused these problems? To quote Albert Einstein “we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”.
Evidence suggests that we are going to have to access ‘higher-thinking’ in order to solve our problems. Learning to think in a different way will enable us to evolve as individuals and bring about an evolution in our organisations and institutions.
Depth Leadership Coaching will enable you to become aware, of what is influencing your current thinking, and most importantly enable you to align to the higher-thinking that is innate within you. This shift to higher-level thinking will restore balance within your own system and enable you to express your unique potential as a leader. This qualitative shift will be reflected back to you both professionally and personally, and as you evolve your organisation will inevitably evolve.
The concept of teal organisations, as described by Fredeic Laloux, identifies three key areas that an organisation needs to pay attention in order to evolve: -
Self-management. This refers to respectful peer-to-peer relationships. People have autonomy in their domain and are accountable for coordinating with others. Self-management leads to dynamic and creative systems within, each person is able to bring their full Self into what they are doing.
Wholeness. Evolved organisations provide the context for each person working within the system to fully express their inner-wholeness and potential. This is the ultimate ‘social capital’ and brings with fresh energy, creativity and even joy.
Evolutionary purpose. An evolved organisation’s purpose will take into account the interconnectedness of all life. The emphasis will be on creating value for all stakeholders.
Diving into Depth Leadership Coaching and Becoming a Self-led Leader
“Know thyself”
Socrates
By engaging in Depth Leadership Coaching you will be able to increase systemic awareness within yourself, the systems around you, and the dynamic forces at play. By engaging at this deeper level with your life you will establish a harmonious Self-led internal system which will be reflected back to you. This is a two-stage process: -
A process of Self-Realisation. Initiating and expanding our level of self-awareness – gaining insight into our internal system. Discovering what is influencing our sense-of-self (ego) and how we experience our-self, others and the world.
A process of Self-Actualisation. Reaching a critical mass of Self in our internal system enabling us to attend to the needs of all the different parts of us. This brings about healthy completion of past experiences, we were unable to process, unlocking our potential. Being able to express our full potential is fundamental for our health and happiness.
Unburdening unprocessed experiences enables us to create a new future - one based on value-creation.
