Parallel Mind

Leadership coaching

The highly interactive style of coaching was designed to identify and confront areas of uncertainty and build on principles that delivered the confidence to realise solutions. 

Over a programme of 10 one to one coaching sessions, each lasting up to two hours, a progressive dialogue was built with Nick Marson that referred to sound leadership principles (e.g. the versatile leadership model) but related to real workplace situations.  The principles were supplemented by a diverse yet valuable reading list and the workplace situations were real time as evidenced by a reflective diary kept on my part. 

The style of conversation was challenging, serious and directly confronted the issues that were identified as impeding the leadership potential that I personally felt had hitherto eluded me.  Nick Marson’s skill in taking the dialogue to the exact point of conflict between my present and potential future leadership style showed acute awareness and sensitivity of my personal work environment which helped to deliver real solutions measured by results in the real workplace. 

The positive results have been recognised at Board level in terms of confidence and ability to take ideas, proposals and people forward successfully using techniques that maintain my authenticity yet at the same time underscore effective use of authority. 

I would recommend the Parallel Mind approach to anyone interested in developing their leadership potential.  Nick Marson in particular has the rare ability of forcing you to confront your fears through logical analysis supplemented by really useful techniques.  Moreover he becomes a trusted adviser and a good friend.
