Executive coaching for third sector
leaders - helping you to achieve your full potential

As a leader, you devote time and resources to developing your team – but who helps you to achieve peak performance, think through the complex strategic, financial and interpersonal issues facing your organisation and manage your career in the sector?

The most effective form of management development for senior executives is often a one to one coaching programme, delivered by a professional coach and tailored to your needs. Indeed, one recent study* found that executive coaching produced three times as much improvement in overall performance as other management development techniques.

It can help you to build on your strengths, bring fresh thinking to difficult challenges and develop the intangible qualities which distinguish true leaders; the capacity to develop and express vision, to think strategically, to inspire others and to build support within and outside your organisations.

Action Planning has adapted executive coaching techniques to the particular needs of the third sector. Our coaches are all professionally trained, have first hand experience of third sector management, understand the ethos of the sector and have access to the full range of people and expertise in Action Planning, one of the leading UK consultancies.

Our coaches deliver tangible, defined results, lift aspirations, build capacity and can help you to transform performance. They are non-judgemental, non-critical and confidential. They work with you and your organisation to achieve measurable results through using a variety of specific, powerful strategies. Areas of work may include:

• Leadership development
• Raising performance and maximising resources
• Handling a new role
• Leading and managing change
• Improving management style and building effective communications
• Resolving conflict and behavioural problems
• Becoming more ‘outcome’ instead of ‘problem’ focused
• Building self confidence
• Career planning
• Stress management and work-life balance

We provide clear and consistent support, balanced and objective feedback, the impetus to change and the tools you need. We believe in supportive, imaginative coaching based on real-life work situations.

Executive coaching from Action Planning can be a life changing experience.
