Unlocking potential with Executive Coaching

We partner with clients to provide coaching to their senior leaders and managers, as well as their rising stars. Our tailored Executive Coaching programme is designed to elevate your organisation’s performance and is finely tuned to address the unique challenges faced by senior leaders. Through one-to-one sessions, your leaders will gain invaluable insights, become more self-aware, refine their leadership style and hone crucial skills to navigate complex landscapes with confidence. Our coaching style is people-centred and relies on the coach and coachee developing a deep and trusting rapport, allowing a safe space for exploration and true transformation to take place.

Invest in your leaders’ growth and personal development and witness the transformative impact on your organisation.

How does it work?

Coaching assignments typically consist of six sessions and sessions usually occur every three to four weeks. Individuals will complete a pre-chemistry questionnaire prior to the assignment commencing. This allows our coach time to get to know the individual and make sure they are the right fit before the sessions begin.

Sessions are conducted virtually to provide maximum flexibility for the individual and organization. They are charged on the basis of a fixed fee per session.

Testimonials

“Andrew, with his expertise in education HR, was just so good. Knowledgeable, efficient and supportive. A good listener and adviser. The other Panel members agree that the process went so smoothly due to Andrew’s expertise and careful guidance. Andrew needed to refer some matters to your legal team as the issue was sensitive. That advice came back promptly and clearly. This gave all of us confidence in the decision Andrew guided us towards – which it what we thought but having Andrew’s reassurance was invaluable. Cannot commend Andrew Miles highly enough.”

Education Client

“We have used Narrow Quay’s retained HR service for the last year, and it has been transformational for us. Our senior managers now feel supported when navigating some often complex HR issues, and know that there is a professional yet empathetic voice at the end of the email or phone. The advice provided has been nuanced to our organisation, pragmatic, in-depth and salient. Requests have been responded to in a very timely way and frequent communication over the phone is always much welcomed – it is much easier to talk HR issues through. We are delighted with our relationship with Narrow Quay and look forward to another year of working together.”

Fiona FrancombeDirector of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

“Massive belated thank you to Simon Martin for delivering a tailored session for our managers at Phoenix on employment law and HR challenges. A really engaging session providing fundamentals and stories of where things can go wrong if you don’t keep employees at the heart of your organisation. Great to be back working together again – creating healthy work cultures”

Anne MonningtonHead of People at Phoenix Learning & Care Group

“This is essential training for any organisation. The content was well delivered by staff with well-grounded knowledge and expertise, and the session was dynamic and interactive. It really got the staff team to think about their personal biases and our institutional practice. It has heightened our awareness and further opened the door for us to continue the discussions about our organisational culture.”
