Leadership Coaching with Lily

Lily’s journey into leadership coaching began 30 years ago during a challenging phase of her career. At that time, feeling lost and seeking direction, she pursued a professional coaching certification to prove her worth. Coaching was a relatively new concept in the business world, so she started by training people leaders to use coaching skills with their teams. This practical experience became the cornerstone of her approach, allowing her to gain deep insights into what makes a great leader and why some leaders struggle.Today, Lily is a dedicated Leadership Coach who fully embraces the belief that humanity is at the heart of effective leadership. Her extensive experience, combined with her certifications as an Associate Certified Meta Coach (NS-NLP), SATIR Brief Therapist, and Gestalt practitioner, shapes her impactful and results-driven approach.

Coaching Philosophy

Lily believes that leadership is not about endlessly seeking new knowledge and skills. Instead, it is a mindful, courageous, and sometimes challenging journey inward. It involves rediscovering what has been lost along the way and reconnecting with the leadership philosophies we once held but may not have fully embraced. Through this introspective process, leaders can reclaim their core values and beliefs, creating a more authentic and impactful leadership style.

HEART - Centered Coaching Framework

Humanity

Leaders and the people they lead are human. One fundamental truth is that we make mistakes. Each mistake should be optimized as a springboard for growth. Humanity also means connecting with one another on an emotional level, which is crucial alongside performance statistics.

Empathy

Empathy fuels performance. Understanding and sharing the feelings of others creates a supportive environment that drives success.

Authenticity

Authenticity in leadership means being true to oneself and transparent with others. It fosters trust and respect, creating a strong foundation for effective leadership.

Resilience

Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from setbacks. It is essential for leaders to maintain their focus and drive in the face of challenges, setting an example for their teams.

Trust

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, including those in the workplace. Building and maintaining trust creates a secure and productive environment where teams can thrive.

Approach

Lily’s coaching is grounded in the understanding that genuine leadership transformation requires a connection to one's core humanity. Her work with clients across various industries—pharmaceutical, oil and gas, manufacturing, IT, and trading—reflects her commitment to meaningful leadership development.

Lily worked with me as a Leadership Coach and I found the interaction and experience very rewarding and positive and would recommend Lily to anyone in a leadership position.

Our sessions together were occasions of reflection, troubleshooting and self assessment and then of interpretation and development of insights into options for handling various situations differently to reach the desired outcome.

Lily would then expertly facilitate the sessions from specific situations to delve in a wholistic engagement of leadership skills and engage and enlighten me about myself, the leader that I want to be and provide guidance and food for thought to develop skills to be a better leader.

I believe any leadership position can be a lonely place at times, with people from related or totally unrelated positions offering suggestions from every angle of a sphere on what should be done; sometimes positive/supportive, sometimes not, sometimes logical, sometimes illogical, sometimes workable and sometimes ludicrous and insane and then everything in between.

With Lily you get an unbiased interaction that facilitates your specific learning, knowledge of methods and your personal development into tackling challenging situations, which develops confidence and courage to undertake such challenges and progress.

Lily does not provide a specific answer to resolve a situation, but works with you on your deliberations, facilitates ways to have better insight on what you want and how you want to achieve it.

Truly a rewarding experience for anyone that believes in developing new skills and abilities.

Thanks Lily, keep up the good work and keep inspiring leaders
