Leadership Coaching
Unlocking Potential: Our Approach to Coaching
At Willow Ethos, we believe that every leader has untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. Whether this is to meet your own specific, personal needs, or to deliver on the cultural direction your business needs to take as uncovered through our data-led insights, we know how developing your leadership ability leads directly towards unlocking remarkable business results.
Our coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that self-awareness leads to growth, but that far too often we simply don’t have the time to see the answers that are right in front of us. As qualified coaches from the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC), and together with a strong team of associate coaches, we bring a wealth of experience to guide senior leaders on their developmental journey.
The Heart of Our Approach
1. A Safe Space for Exploration
Our coaching sessions provide a safe and confidential environment for clients to explore the challenges they face. We listen actively, without judgment, allowing clients to express their thoughts openly. By creating this safe space, we enable clients to delve into their inner world, uncovering insights and perspectives that may have remained hidden.
2. The Reflective Surface
Imagine a calm lake reflecting the surrounding landscape. In coaching, we serve as that reflective surface. Rather than provide answers, the coach’s role is to mirror back what clients share and to allow the client the opportunity to move forward themselves through the support of a framework of powerful questioning and active listening. We help clients see their situations from different angles. This reflection often reveals new pathways and possibilities. We make use of the Co-Active coaching model, recognising that coaches, clients, and their environments are equal partners in the transformative process. The Co-Active approach fosters meaningful connections, deep insights, and impactful results.
3. The Need to be Challenged
Reflection and active listening doesn’t mean clients go unchallenged. Quite the opposite, challenge is regularly used to create new ways of looking at a situation, unlocking ideas that otherwise have gone unnoticed. Challenge also provides clarity for clients, allowing them to see conflicting thoughts and test ideas before they are implemented.
4. Tailored Coaching Journeys
We recognize that each individual’s needs are unique. Our coaching is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re an executive seeking leadership development or a senior leader navigating organizational change, we tailor our approach to your specific context. Our commitment is to match you with one of our dedicated and highly experienced coaches who aligns with your goals and creates the right chemistry to enable you to get the most from coaching.
The Journey Ahead
Coaching is an investment in your growth. Defining the number of sessions that are needed depends on the client and what they want to achieve. Each session lasts one hour, allowing time for deep exploration, skill-building, and sustainable change. Over these sessions, you’ll gain clarity, resilience, and actionable strategies. Our ultimate goal? To empower you to lead with authenticity, impact, and purpose.
Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
