WHAT'S YOUR LEADERSHIP DILEMMA?

Every leadership dilemma is different, so every problem needs a tailored solution. I draw from an extensive toolkit of approaches and resources to design bespoke programmes for my clients. This is usually a combination of consultancy, coaching and facilitated workshops. If you’d like to discuss a project or would like to know more about my services, please email me: helen@helenmgconsulting.com.

COACHING FOR SENIOR LEADERS

I provide 1:1 coaching for senior leaders, both in isolation or as part of a wider piece of development work. Effective coaching provides a number of benefits including:

Enhanced insight and self-awareness
Improved confidence and agency
Self reflection and learning about our linguistic, emotional and physiological responses to challenge and pressure
Enhanced possibility for taking effective action
Ongoing personal development through learning to ‘self coach’

CEO & HEADTEACHER APPRAISALS

Appraisals are based on Apprecive Inquiry enabling reflection and learning, and future planning - all crucial for organisational growth. The appraisal process includes:

Appreciative Inquiry: valuing and accentuating what is good and working well, seeking to understand through questioning and discovery
A review of the previous year (progress against priorities)
Priority setting for the coming year
Ongoing coaching throughout the year (optional)
Real World Group 360 Leadership Diagnostic and feedback (optional)

360 LEADERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS

The Real World Group's 360 leadership diagnostics focus on 'leadership engagement' and have been developed through grounded research. Licensees are trained to use the diagnostics helping leaders develop awareness and insight about the impact of leadership on others.

In addition the Performance Leader Identifier can be included within coaching development or to support selection processes.

OVERSEAS DELEGATIONS

I expect overseas work to recommence in 2022. Please do get in touch if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

I facilitate cross-cultural overseas delegations for professionals in education and children’s services. Overseas professional development helps you see the world from a different perspective, challenges assumptions and deepens the reservoir of learning. It can help improve services by exposing your team to new practices and knowledge, such as this cultural exchange with delegations from three towns in Bulgaria.

Email me at if you would like to send a delegation overseas, or if you're an international organisation and would like to organise a delegation to from the UK
