Coaching assignments directly build on Mick’s extensive practical expertise, focused on the intersection of Leadership Development, Branding and Big Data insights. Coaching is a multi-dimensional relationship between the Coach, the Individual and the Enterprise. Mick’s approach is to focus the development needs of the individual against improved business performance.
He draws on his own senior leadership and team development experience of many kinds of Enterprises, combined with a broad academic understanding of the coaching and mentoring process in different business and cultural settings. He can also draw on a global network of associates and experts, depending on the issue and need.
Mick will always build on an individual’s strengths. As part of the coaching process, he will seek first to fully understand the business context, and get input from colleagues on the individual concerned. Mick believes that measurement drives improvement, and he will set up simple but effective processes that make a positive difference for the individual.
