Peter Drucker, one of the most influential thinkers on leadership and management, stressed that the role of leadership is to build on organisational strengths so that weaknesses seem irrelevant. It is my belief that there is more to be gained by focusing and building on a client’s existing strengths, than on trying to make good their weaknesses.
” There is something deeply authentic in a person acknowledging their own strengths and building them more into their life. “

Look Inside
I believe that the journey of personal development, growth and achieving one’s potential starts with looking inside to know who you really are. This is a process of understanding you as a human being and goes to a deeper level than what people see on the surface. It can be a dynamic and unpredictable journey that you must be willing to embrace.
It is a journey that can bring you face-to-face with your deep-rooted self-doubts and insecurities, encouraging you to challenge and question the way you are living your life and forcing you to ask is there a better more effective way. In simple terms knowing yourself means respecting your values, your beliefs and your purpose, as well as your personality, your emotions, your strengths and weaknesses, your passion and fear and your wants and dreams.

As part of my ‘LookInside‘ coaching approach, I will help my clients to better understand who they are (their personality traits), how they are, by better understanding their ability to manage emotions (their emotional intelligence) and what they are, through a better understanding of where their energy and attention goes (their strengths and weaknesses).
Who You Are
Personality refers to individual differences in characteristics, patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Discovering yours can help you learn how to bring positive change into your life. It can help change the way you relate to yourself and others as well as give you a better understanding of who you really are..
How You Are
Emotional intelligence (EQ), being different to emotions, is a measure of the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.
What You Are
Strengths are so much more than something you are good at or capable of doing well, they also give you energy when you perform them. By revealing your used strengths, unused strengths, learned strengths and weaknesses, you will learn more about where your attention goes and what you can do, can’t do, and enjoy doing.
