Restorative leadership coaching for existing and aspiring leaders

Restorative Leadership coaching provides a precious ‘high support, high challenge’ reflective space where you can talk confidentially about the challenges that leadership brings.

Drawing on practical and applicable relational approaches and tools, it is ideal for those who want to create a just, fair and person centred culture where the power of relationships is maximised so that teams can collaborate effectively to achieve organisational goals.

As an experienced Restorative Practice Lead in the public sector, I have particular experience in coaching leaders working in demanding environments, with ‘wicked’ problems (complex social and cultural issues that are difficult or impossible to solve) in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environments. I work with all levels of leadership to support you to:

Develop your presence as a leader
Build your confidence
Embrace principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are lived, and people can be themselves in a culture that prioritises a sense of belonging
Support teams to thrive in a psychologically safe environment
Develop healthy relationships of ‘high support, high challenge’ that are modelled so words and actions match
Empowered your teams to develop their potential and accountability
Free yourself to lead, not getting so caught in operational issues or falling into micromanagement
Manage conflict confidently and swiftly, reducing the need for costly, time consuming and punitive HR procedures

Because when relationships are right, performance can be optimised.

You might be in a new leadership role, or looking to grow into yourself as a leader. Either way, you can expect a non-judgemental, reflective and confidential space in which to experience new thinking and perspectives. Together we will develop the knowledge, skills and together we will develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours to maximise your leadership impact.

Coaching can take place face to face in ‘The Cube’, my private coaching and hypnotherapy space in Oakwood, Leeds, or via Zoom, and can take place in and around your working commitments.

Why should I choose Sue?

The three most important things to consider are;

Does the coaching relationship feel right for us both?
Are you ready to change?
Is coaching right for your needs?

In order to check this, I offer a free 30min Discovery Call where we can find out, and you can ask any questions you may have.

Coaching as an industry in the UK is unregulated. As such you may choose to be reassured of my training and experience as a professional coach, and here are a few indicators to pay attention to:

I am regularly supervised to check and challenge my practice
I am coached myself to ensure my own continued development
I am highly trained and qualified (through reputable, academically rigorous and quality professional training, not a quick internet course that are so sadly abundant)
I am highly experienced
I hold several professional memberships
Many of my clients have been kind enough to share their own success stories
The two most important things however, are the quality of the coaching relationship, and that you are ready to change. In order to check this, I offer a free 30min Discovery call where we can find out.

At the end of the Discovery Call, you could ask yourself:

What have I learnt from this Discovery Call?
What has changed for me now?
What did Sue ask that made me think in a different way to how I have thought before?
How comfortable do I feel with her?
How clear am I on how Sue may help me to achieve my goals?

Coaching can take place face to face in ‘The Cube’, my private coaching and hypnotherapy space in Oakwood, Leeds, or via Zoom.

Success Stories

This has made such a difference to my confidence [in my new role] and it has been so interesting! I have a new set of practical tools to help me succeed. I wish they taught this stuff at school!

I did the leadership coaching with Sue after I did her “Leading High Performing Teams” course. It helped me see patterns of getting sucked into the drama which left me frustrated and not performing at my best. Sue was patient and challenging, just what I needed! I started to change some of my patterns and saw a difference in the team very quickly. I feel lighter and more motivated. Thanks Sue.
