Our client was a highly talented expert in their field who was being assessed both internally and by the regulator as to whether they were suitable for a step up to a senior role within their organisation.
What was their dream?
They really wanted this.
And if they got this new role then it would give them a major leap in their career and make a significant difference to their family life.
What was their nightmare?
Pressure and perception.
The pressure was mainly self-imposed. Because this meant so much to them personally, they were telling themselves all sorts of stories that threatened to undermine their confidence.
And despite their undoubted brilliance the market and the wider organisation didn’t really have a strong perception of this.
What action did we help them take?
We undertook a focussed coaching programme all targeted at achieving two goals.
- Get them ‘over the line’ with a story driven approach to their interviews.
- Give them the skills to confidently kick off their first 100 days.
Like any coaching the exact process was tailored to their specific needs. But it was backed by our DNA methodology and the insights we bring from our backgrounds in performance and cognitive behavioural psychology.
All of this was aimed to silence their internal imposter voice and heighten the power of their story.
What was the result?
They got the role!
Working with Sarah Jane and David is always a challenging and empowering experience. They have a talent for supporting you whilst you explore the boundaries of your comfort zones. Their skills and techniques allow you to discover a more confident and effective communicator and release the leader within.
