Coaching
What is it?
We offer three packages:
- 1:1 confidential coaching support to senior executive leaders
- 1:1 confidential coaching support for emerging women leaders of colour
- Group coaching for senior executive teams
Who is it for?
Senior executive leaders, executive leadership teams and emerging women leaders of colour.
Why it matters?
Leadership is not only complex, but it can also be lonely. The risks attached are high, failure can be very visible, and there are few people leaders turn to for help. Providing confidential support enables leaders to open up and address issues they are grappling with.
What makes us different?
Not only are our coaches qualified, but they have also lived experience of leadership, which allows them to bring a depth of understanding of what leaders and emerging leaders face. This allows coaching clients more effectively to unpick their issues and arrive at practical, meaningful solutions quicker.
Case Study
When Elizabeth McKay became London Transport Museum’s CEO, she reached out to Srabani for coaching. Srabani had been working with Elizabeth as Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer to develop its Inclusion Route Map.
This was Elizabeth’s first CEO role. She knew she needed to evolve her leadership approach and grow into the CEO role. This was at a time when Elizabeth had to lead LTM through a huge programme of change to grow and modernise the museum.
In her first year as a CEO, Elizabeth grew in confidence and mastery of the CEO role, delivering real change for LTM at pace, navigating enormous complexity and bringing her colleagues and stakeholders along with her.
Elizabeth said: “I knew that stepping into my first CEO role would require a step-change, particularly as the internal candidate, and I needed to approach this change holistically. I also didn’t have a lot of time ahead of my start date and needed get myself in shape. Srabani’s support as a coach was central to building my confidence. Srabani has a way of getting to the heart of issues and problems, unlocking them and helping me find the solutions – solutions that are authentic and right for me and my vision. Her leadership experience shines through our coaching sessions, and I value her perspective and insight.I love working with Srabani. She pushes me in the nicest possible way, and I leave pretty much every session with an ‘aha’ moment and the feeling that every problem is surmountable.
