My executive coaching services are designed to help: senior executives, career changers, budding entrepreneurs, and business owners.
You know what you want to achieve,
I know the science to get you there.
Let’s work together.
Quick Overview
Working with people on matters relating to their work is 90% of what I do.
In almost every case the person is facing a situation that requires a decision, but the issues are many and the path forward is foggy.
I specialise in cutting through the fog with my evidence-based approach. I guide you through a methodical process to achieve the clarity and direction you yearn for.
The outcome I deliver is to equip you with the confidence and a solid plan to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve, which significantly reduces the risk that comes with the changes you are about to make.
Most of my executive coaching work falls into 3 categories. I have developed specific coaching packages tailored to each of these 3 situations…
- Coaching for Career Changers: Clarifying and de-risking the transition from an unfulfilling career to a new, fulfilling one.
- Coaching for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Clarifying and de-risking the leap from employment to owning your own business.
- Coaching for Business Owners: Clarifying and de-risking the changes needed to get your business and, more importantly, your life back on track.
General Executive Coaching: If you want to advance your career, or are facing redundancy, or anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the 3 categories above, I will tailor an an 8-week executive coaching program for your specific situation and needs.
Employee Coaching: I also offer an 8-week employee coaching program. Employees are typically referred to me by someone in HR.
I was referred to Kris as a means of getting my ‘work mojo’ back.
From the outset, Kris was open and honest about the course content, what was required of me and the expected outcomes. I did not hesitate to commit to the program as I was reassured by what I heard.
While some of the content challenged me, Kris’s delivery was ‘pitch perfect’ for me. He was patient, supportive (while emphasising ultimate ownership of outcomes rested with me), and clear in his communications and proceeded at a pace that suited me.
The combination of the content and the delivery made the program enjoyable and helpful, at work and life in general. I have put into practice a range of strategies around time management, goal-setting and reflection/mindfulness.
I would not hesitate to recommend Kris, and have already done so to friends.
