Remove anxiety from leadership with leadership coaching
Many executives suffer from chronic anxiety. They need clarity and control. I build a relationship with them and coach towards the development of leadership habits in their organisations. They gain empowered leaders, joy at work and increased profits.
I believe that the transformation of an organisation into a more organised, innovative and profitable version of itself, starts with the transformation of its leadership. Ideal results require ideal behaviours. Repeated good behaviours become good habits. Good leadership habits can be taught and coached.
I offer leaders workshops, advisory, and most importantly leadership coaching to support them in the journey of releasing their potential, that of their teams and their organisation.

One’s working life is ever evolving, full of curve balls and never short of challenging demands. All of which at some point stretch your skill set beyond known abilities leading to significant personal anxiety. After near 30 years of working within the comforts of industry, 20 of which were at executive level, embarking on a journey outside was one such moment where uncertainty, fear, and self-doubt set in. Reaching out is so important at times like this, and I was lucky to find Pierre.
.
Sessions with Pierre are both therapeutic and enlightening. It forces a self-reflection that helps you truly understand your strengths, and through this gain clarity of purpose and renewed self-confidence to tackle just about of any crisis.
.
I value the deep bond we have formed and know whom to call whenever I need further guidance.

I have had the pleasure of being coached by Pierre this past last year (2021). Pierre provides a very personal but constructive approach to his sessions which makes you reflect and find new perspectives of how to approach work and business.
.
He has coached me on how to be a better leader but also provided me with specific theories and tools that I can directly implement into my daily work as an operations manager.
.
I have found both comfort and strength in having Pierre support and lead me in operational management as well as people relations.

Pierre has taught me to pursue personal transformation before expecting it from others. Coaching sessions provide a regular check-in for progress on this front.

Pierre’s help in an advisory role has been invaluable as we have set up rhythms and routines to encourage the same accountability throughout our team.

I now get great joy as I watch my team, my business and hopefully myself positively transform together.

"
I’ve been coached by Pierre for two years now (from 2021). And, like most stubborn entrepreneurs, I am incredibly independent, so it’s been an interesting experience in how to receive support.
.
Through coaching, we have both learned from the experience of seeing and being seen, working through processes and uncovering blindspots, and understanding failures and setbacks.
.
I would 100% recommend his services as a coach.
