Coaching for Performance

Jamie is highly experienced in delivering workshops to develop people's ability to coach their own people to higher performance. He is fascinated by organisations that use coaching as a mechanism to build and improve performance. He has delivered Coaching for Performance programmes in a variety of business sectors (retail, banking, and pharmaceuticals) both in Europe and the United States. He has also delivered coaching workshops within programs designed to develop an internal team of expert coaches, accredited by Middlesex University and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Measures of success have included helping leaders and managers broaden the skills available for building motivation and empowerment in their people.

Leadership Development

Alongside Jamie's coaching expertise he is fascinated by the development of leadership skills at a personal and organisational level. He facilitates workshops that are aligned to organisational objectives. This has helped facilitate leadership development in an organisation going through a merger by helping leaders to identify how to role model and communicate a new vision and direction for their teams. This has in turn dramatically increased the speed that the organisation has adjusted to a new and fundamentally different focus and helped sustained performance in a challenging time. In another programme, leadership development has facilitated a radical improvement in organisational retention levels of employees in a high pressure performance environment over an eighteen month period.

Team Development

Jamie works with organisations and teams to build awareness and facilitate learning that allows them to reach and surpass performance aspirations. He principally uses great questions and dialogue coupled with a background knowledge drawn from sport psychology, business and elite performance to make change happen.
