My coaching Buisness is Regenerate coaching. The picture above is what I want to use for my logo. I am at present on a Medical coaching course which is registered with the ICF. It is an international course. This course will equip me with the ability to coach people back to wholeness and to make peace with the biggest betrayal they have ever faced, the betrayal of their closest alley, their bodies. I will coach people who have terminal or chronic illness, coach their care givers and families. This coaching uses a lot of Neuro linguistics patterning, NLP. My belief around coaching and life As a coach I believe that I work in the way of a healer. I do not coach the problem, I coach the person back into wholeness. Once there, they are able to find Joy, and live their lives as intended wether their aspirations are great or small they will be at peace with themselves and where they are at.

To whom it may concern.

The past year I was a participant on the Professional Coaching Course presented by the Centre for

Coaching at the Business School of the University of Cape Town.

As an organisation British American Tobacco has been on a leadership and coaching journey with

the Centre for Coaching since 2003. As HR Director I wanted to further build my coaching

capabilities, hence the reason why I undertook the Professional Coaching Training.

It is on this programme where I met Molly Kain. As we work very intense in small groups we really

know each other and after a year, fellow participants are almost regarded as family members.

Molly Kain is not only a remarkable coach, but also a wonderful person. She is in touch with herself

and is so authentic as a person. Molly has the ability to coach in a unique way and she only brings

out the best in other people!!!.

I would highly recommend Molly as a coach and if I personally need a coach, I would love Molly

to coach me.

Hi Molly,

Having been coached by you has taught me the value of living in the present moment. I am

released of the need to judge myself and others and the compassion I now have for myself allows

me to enjoy meaningful relationships. I seek to understand rather than to be understood. I engage

in conversations with a curiosity about humanity and how in this moment it is what it is and that I

am what I am. The greatest gift your coaching has given me was the unconditional love of self – no

judgement, no regret, just pure, undiluted love. Thank you and may God bless you indeed! All my

love, Vanessa.

Take care Molly.

God bless, Vanessa Naidoo enablingquality@telkomsa.net

Hi Molly Below just a thought, a reflection if you will, on how I’ve experienced you coaching me. You bring a presence and an energy into our sessions which is powerfully authentic and enhances our dance in language that amplified my somatic experiences and learning’s. You’ve brought far more to my sessions with you than what I had expected. Thank you for giving me so much. Warm regards

To Whom it May Concern,

“I was fortunate enough to be coached by Molly for a period of approximately one year and

during that time found Molly to be a Coach with a fountain of knowledge and experience. Coming through very strongly during our coaching programme was her genuine authenticity, innovative insights and holistic approach. Together with her comprehensive wealth of unique life experiences, her common sense and logic blends very well together with her powerful professional coaching abilities.

Molly's inspirational, yet compassionate way-of- being is a real breath of fresh air,

particularly within the Corporate environment and would unreservedly recommend her as

an Integral Executive Coach”.

Coaching journey with Molly Brenda Moerane: brendam@idc.co.za

Mobile. 0781695392 My name is Brenda Moerane. I started a coaching journey with Molly in 2013 after being referred

by a friend and colleague of mine Neo Mabena.

At the time I was going through a rough patch in my life of a divorce, my work was demanding, did

not have the emotional strengths, had to raise two girls and manage the home errands effectively.

It was a new normal life for me as well as the kids. Adjustments, relinquishing and acceptance

were not easy.

Molly walked the journey with me in a loving, kind and patient manner. She supported me to close

the chapter of the past. She equipped me to build my emotional and spiritual strength through

boundaries of what I will allow, and not in my life. She made me realise the love of God that is

within me. I learned to meditate through spiritual music to cleanse impurities and build healthy

boundaries. The meditation helped me to be calm and relaxed at all times, basically to be in

control of my life and not let others control me. She helped me to be curious and not want to

control things outside my control. Difficult practise with my controlling attribute, however, I am

still stretching myself to be curious and not micro manage life but just let it be and trust that God

is always in control.

She also supported me to value and take care of myself, plan my day and delegate work

effectively. She taught me the gift of dreaming and hoping by designing dream boards. When I

look at the dream boards that we have done in 2013 together with the girls, it so fulfilling to see

that with God, team work and focus one can achieve a lot.

I am more self-aware like never before. Being in the presence of God when I meditate takes me

through the day and breathing exercise helps me to be relaxed and calm.

I am now a better woman, mother, friend and wife to be, who knows her purpose and I am

passing on my learnings and experiences to others which is so fulfilling.

Molly thank you so much. May God richly bless you? You have given me a gift that I will cherish

forever together with my girls. The changes in me are reflected in my girls, they are so matured it’s

amazing. I have no doubt that they will be great ladies and wives in the future.

The race continues………..

10. What is the coaching approach and methodology you are using.

The methodology I use is Integral Coaching ®,

What Is Integral Coaching? Perhaps one of the most powerful ways of understanding coaching is from the end, because if we know what we are intending to accomplish, we can correct ourselves as we go along and we are able to evaluate our success at the end. The products of coaching are meant to distinguish coaching from other modalities and we present coaching as more than being an accountability partner that supports someone in reaching their goals, or as a disciplinarian who changes someone's unwanted actions. Instead we claim that coaching occurs in a bigger frame that sometimes includes these two modalities, but goes well beyond that. The Products of Coaching

The architect of Integral Coaching ®, James Flaherty describes the products of coaching

in his book, Coaching to Excellence in Others, as follows: Long-Term Excellent Performance This means that the client meets the high objective standards of the discipline in which coaching is occurring. Standards are objective when any competent person can observe them. For example, hitting a home run in baseball is an objective standard, as is a checkmate in chess; however, we must know something about each game to be able to observe these outcomes as favorable. Self-correction Well-coached clients can observe when they are performing well and when they are not and will make any necessary adjustments independently of the coach. By keeping this criterion in mind, coaches can avoid the big temptation of becoming indispensable and, instead, work to build the competence of their client. Self-generation We can always improve, and well-coached people know this and will continually find ways on their own to do so. They'll practice more, or they'll watch others perform, or they'll learn an activity that will strengthen them in a new way that improves their competence.

11. What is theoretical and philosophy (beliefs and values) underpinning the approach and methodology and outcome of the model

I have trained through The Center for coaching Under the auspices of their learning partner, New Ventures West, the coaching programs I have done are accredited through the International Coach Federation (ICF) as well as counting as continuing education units (CEUs) for the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA) New Ventures West is one of the top coaching schools in the USA that has over 25 years of experience in teaching this style of coaching (integral coaching) The theoretical underpinnings of their work and their teaching methodologies are aligned with the academic rigor required at the GSB PHILOSOPHICAL ROOTS Integral Coaching® is a form of coaching with a sound theoretical base. Below is an overview of the influences we draw on and explains key terms. WESTERN TRADITIONS: SOMATIC A way of understanding human behaviors that derives from “pertaining to the body experienced and controlled from within”. This perspective gives us the powerful insight that clients’ way of seeing their world is anchored in the structure and configuration of their bodies and that coaching them without clear attention to this aspect of their way of being in the world is likely to leave changes unsustainable and superficial. It provides our coaching with the resource and knowledge of triggering and sustaining shifts through the physical and structural. PHENOMENOLOGY A seminal understanding that it is people’s interpretations of experiences that happen to them that shapes their world and either limits or opens up the possibility of choice. Our coaching works to transmit this understanding. HERMENEUTICS Anchored in the study of ancient texts this philosophical tradition provides our coaching with the profound realization that we as coaches need to assist our clients in cultivating the ability to understand things from others’ points of view, and to appreciate the cultural and social forces that may have influences their own outlook. EXISTENTIALISM A philosophical tradition which offers the gift that individual human beings create the meanings and essence of their own lives and that we as coaches need to gently but firmly push back the locus of control of how things are cascaded back to the way in which our clients are including or excluding people, events and realizations into their lives. It provides our coaching with a counterpoint to more traditional philosophies, such as rationalism and empiricism which create the illusion of life happening in a structured and Cartesian way. LINGUISTICS

Linguistics compares language and explores their histories, in order to find universal properties of language. From this tradition we have drawn into our coaching the role that language plays to create and shape our coachees reality and how shifting language can generate possibilities beyond what seemed fixed or intractable. ONTOLOGY The study of conceptions of reality and the nature of being, ontology seeks to describe or posit the basic categories and relationship of being or existence to define entities and types of entities within its framework. It gives our coaching the perspective of trying to divine how our coachees way of being their worlds creates meaning and how shifting meaning and what matters is likely to result in sustainable change for our clients. EASTERN TRADITIONS: From this beautiful life force we draw the insight of how we need to work with our clients on building the capacity to skillfully respond to their world, rather than reacting habitually in ways which gets them stuck. We also draw the understanding that unless we are working to help our clients change at a deeply molecular level that our work together and their resultant insights will simply slough off like dead skin with the passage of time. We derive the power of how building our clients’ capacity to be skilled observers of how they show up in their worlds is a competency that leads to self-correction and self-generation, both quintessential outputs of Integral Coaching® programs. We also access the gift of practice, the understanding that only ceaseless repetition of new ways of being leads to the biological and biochemistry changes in the body of our coaches – which in turn leads to changes in seeing and interacting with their worlds. ( from The Center for Coaching GSB)

12. What are the ethical guidelines you follow? CODE OF ETHICS

INTEGRAL COACHES’ CODE OF ETHICS

Introduction

The bond between coach and client can be a powerful foundation for the mutual benefit and development of both parties. At the same time, the trust and openness central to the coaching relationship can be exploited consciously or unconsciously by coaches who often become very powerful people in the lives of their clients. As coaches we must always be on our guard to avoid any exploitation or harm we may bring to our clients,

and it’s in that spirit that we wholeheartedly embrace and endorse this code of ethics.

The Code

In order to protect the safety and well being of my clients as well as the integrity of my profession, I fully commit to the following code of ethics:

• I will facilitate my clients in making choices that support their well being and intentions and will not influence them in any way to take actions that are contrary to their values, standards, or personal boundaries.

• I will maintain strict confidentiality in my coaching relationships and will only share the content of these relationships when requesting help, input or coaching from qualified people who agree to keep the information confidential.

• I will responsibly complete and disengage myself from any coaching relationship in which I find that I am not competent to serve my client or in which I am not upholding this code of ethics.

• I will actively seek the support of my peers in upholding my ethics, reviewing my work, and improving my competence as a coach.

• I will only use my coaching relationships to further the intentions expressed in the coaching program. Consequently, I will not initiate, encourage, invite, support or engage in any sexual relationship of any form with my clients.

ICF CODE OF ETHICS

PART ONE: DEFINITION OF COACHING SECTION 1: DEFINITIONS

• Coaching: Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires

them to maximize their personal and professional potential

• A professional coaching relationship: A professional coaching relationship exists when coaching includes a business agreement or contract that defines the responsibilities of each party.

• An ICF Professional Coach: An ICF Professional Coach also agrees to practice the ICF Professional Core Competencies and pledges accountability to the ICF Code of Ethics.

In order to clarify roles in the coaching relationship, it is often necessary to distinguish between the client and the sponsor. In most cases, the client and sponsor are the same person and therefore jointly referred to as the client. For purposes of identification, however, the International Coach Federation defines these roles as follows:

• Client: The "client" is the person(s) being coached.

• Sponsor: The "sponsor" is the entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging for coaching services to be provided.

In all cases, coaching engagement contracts or agreements should clearly establish the rights, roles, and responsibilities for both the client and sponsor if they are not the same persons.

Part Two: The ICF Standards of Ethical Conduct

ICF Professional Coaches aspire to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively upon the coaching profession; are respectful of different approaches to coaching; and recognize that they are also bound by applicable laws and regulations.

Section 1: Professional Conduct At Large As a coach:

5) I will conduct myself in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics in all coach training, coach mentoring and coach supervisory activities.

6) I will conduct and report research with competence, honesty and within recognized scientific standards and applicable subject guidelines. My research will be carried out with the necessary consent and approval of those involved and with an approach that will protect participants from any potential harm. All research efforts will be performed in a manner that complies with all the applicable laws of the country in which the research is conducted.

7) I will maintain, store, and dispose of any records created during my coaching business in a manner that promotes confidentiality, security and privacy, and complies with any applicable laws and agreements

8) I will use ICF Member contact information (email addresses, telephone numbers, etc.) only in the manner and to the extent authorized by the ICF.

17) I will be responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries that govern any physical contact I may have with my clients or sponsors.

18) I will not become sexually intimate with any of my current clients or sponsors.

19) I will respect the client's right to terminate the coaching relationship at any point during the process, subject to the provisions of the agreement or contract. I will be alert to indications that the client is no longer benefiting from our coaching relationship.

20) I will encourage the client or sponsor to make a change if I believe the client or sponsor would be better served by another coach or by another resource.

21) I will suggest my client seek the services of other professionals when deemed necessary or appropriate.

As an ICF Professional Coach, I acknowledge and agree to honor my ethical and legal obligations to my coaching clients and sponsors, colleagues, and to the public at large. I pledge to comply with the ICF Code of Ethics and to practice these standards with those whom I coach.

If I breach this Pledge of Ethics or any part of the ICF Code of Ethics, I agree that the ICF in its sole discretion may hold me accountable for so doing. I further agree that my accountability to the ICF for any breach may include sanctions, such as loss of my ICF Membership and/or my ICF Credentials.

Approved by the Ethics and Standards Committee on October 30, 2008. Approved by the ICF Board of Directors on December 18, 2008.

14. What is the structure of your coaching process? typical number of Sessions/duration of session etc.?

Preparations Needed – The 5 C’s

• Communication – Introduction to client by Sponsor, establishing a relationship with client,

exploring reasons for this communication taking place.

• Chemistry – Do the coach and client have a good feeling about the prospect of working together?

How is this evident? What will sustain it?

• Commitment – What has led the client to seek coaching?( i.e. how did coaching come about? What

is the client’s commitment to coaching?

• Contract – Coach and client agree to the coaching contract and the term.

• Confirmation – The Sponsor confirms the contract in writing.

Intervention Framework

The first meeting that I have with the Client is called an "Intake" The duration is 2 hours and it is here that I create the picture of the clients Structure of Interpretation (SOI) I use the 4 Domains Model to understand who they are and to see where that gaps in their lives and way of being present themselves. I have given you a brief insight into this model below. I then place them, using the information gathered from the 4 domains and the 6 streams models, onto the 10 Ways model ( also a brief description below) This allows me to present a Purpose statement for the coaching intervention and a list of Coaching outcomes which is our guide line and measure during our course of coaching. During the first coaching session I will present them with this coaching plan, which is designed to achieve the agreed outcomes for the coaching program. We will then discuss and agree to, or change if needed, the coaching program. As life is organic, the agreed outcomes may change over time, depending on how the program evolves. As we think in stories and our memories are held in the form of pictures and stories. We present the client with the Current Narrative that they are living in or telling themselves. For them to grow and see, aspire to and achieve we present them with a New Narrative, Showing them a whole new way of seeing the world and the new possibilities that this affords them. To achieve the results required the working action part of the coaching program follows. This is the most important section of the coaching program. The client needs to work at the homework given or the desired results will take longer or not be achieved. This work is in the form of Practices, self-observations, exercises, readings. Below is the science which explains this in a very abbreviated manor.

• Somatic practices, using neuro- placisity to repattern the brain and create new neural

pathways which create the new and sustained behaviors.

REASON FOR A PRACTICES:

Making connections Between each axon/dendrite connection is a minuscule gap called a synaptic gap. What passes from one cell to another across the gap are molecules stimulated by an electrical charge flowing down the axon to its tip where the chemicals are stored. This charge can flow in only one direction, and it makes it possible for the neurochemical that encodes the

information traveling across the gap into the dendrite to trigger (technically ‘excite’) the

next cell and so on and so on. In such ways are networks formed. The more the same pathway is triggered the more certain does it become that it will be more easily triggered

again. And the stronger the stimulus is that starts the charge the more certainly and for

longer will the nerve cells – neurons – fire. In this way repeated experience creates

networked pathways and makes us creatures of habit. The cells that fire together wire together. That is the way the brain organizes itself. (Neuropsychology for Coaches: Understanding the basics by Paul Brown and Virginia Brown.)

• Self observations which bring awareness to the client of what, how when and where they

show up in the world.

REASON FOR A SELF-OBSERVATION:

"A self-observation exercise differs from a practice in that it does not involve performing new behaviors. Instead, it involves becoming more aware of oneself and others

by rigorously observing these behaviors, as well as one’s thoughts, feelings, and body

sensations and others." Integrating Rigor, Compassion, and Creative Design article.

Author, James Flaherty, From New Ventures West 2013.

USE OF NARRATIVES / DISTINCTIONS.

Stories are used extensively for human communication; both the comprehension and production of oral and written narratives constitute a fundamental part of our experience. (Raymond A Mar Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Sidney Smith Hall, 4th Floor, 100 St. George St., Toronto, Ont., Canada M5S 3G3. raymond@psych.utoronto.ca )

“Stories shape our lives and in some cases help define a person. We want to understand

how stories get into your brain, and what they do to it.”says neuroscientist Gregory Berns,

lead author of the study and the director of Emory’s Center for Neuropolicy.

• Narratives, the brain operates in pictures, so by identifying the clients current narritive,

allows them to fully understand, how they are leading their team, communicating requests

etc and then, based on the information and cross checking with the models, creating a new

narrative, opening up new possibilities, and building new behavior. As this form of

coaching is coaching the person and not the problem, the client is then able to make

meaningful change in all aspects of their lives.

NEW NARRATIVE OR DISTINCTION:

"A new distinction is a novel way of seeing. When we make a distinction, we are shedding light on something that our clients could not previously see. This allows our clients to observe themselves and the world differently and thereby take action toward the intended outcomes." Integrating Rigor, Compassion, and Creative Design. Author, James Flaherty,

Model 2 - 10 ways © Centre for Coaching, 2014

This model is used to identify where the person is in their lives. Are they living in

• OVERCOMING IMMEDIATE CONCERNS. Life is experienced as moving from one emergency to another. In the midst of getting one thing under control, something else breaks down calling for an urgent response.

• ACHIEVING BALANCE

Persistent difficulties in becoming competent usually occur because of an imbalance in the Areas of Concern. (Money, Body, Relationships, Work, Family, Community, Spiritual, Contribution)

• MASTERING CONVERSATIONS

Skill in conversations for relationship, possibility and action resolve many difficulties at the Domains level (Money, Body, Relationships, Work, Family, Community, Spiritual, Contribution). Conversations also include listening and much progress can happen working with that competence.

• BUILDING POWER

Even if we are consummate conversationalists, we will fail when we have no power. Power means having what we intend to happen actually happen. We concentrate and focus power by attending to the following: TIMING: When our interests/talents/energy match the support we can muster from others and events as they unfold. We learn timing by close observation of ourselves, others and life. YIELDING: Means including the forces of life within our intention, using their impetus instead of trying to overcome them. DISCIPLINE: Staying focused, remaining patient, desiring one thing, eliminating the inessential, letting go of our personal likes, persisting in our practices. LEAKAGE: Where does our power leak out through unfinished business from the past, negative emotions, compulsions/obsessions, distractions, procrastinations?

• IDENTIFYING VOCATION

Vocation is rooted in a particular relationship with life, ourselves and others. Elements of the relationship are listed below. PURPOSE: What is calling to me? What fits my talents, temperament and times? How do I make my life consistent with my purpose? GRATITUDE: Our life is a gift given to us most directly by our parents and ancestors, but also from everyone who has ever lived, the earth, and “all-of-it”. Can we appreciate and respond in kind? COURAGE: Persisting when afraid, threatened, attacked or uncertain DESIGN: Clarity about what we intend, precision in the execution of our plans. OPENNESS: Learning, accepting the ideas and suggestions of others, remembering we’ll never comprehend all of it, questions. These are the top 5 "ways" that are encounter in clients. the top 2 being the most common. This modle allows me to identify where I see the client being placed, and where I want to move them too. It allowed me to set a realist program which will be life changing and not an intervention which effects will be lost as soon as their coaching stops.

COGNITIVE

• The ability to make observations in a particular field of activity (e.g. business, philosophy, cooking) and

then to synthesize the observations into a coherent understanding. “Understanding” means that

possibilities for action are seen, accurate predictions can be made and potential breakdowns foreseen:

• Can they observe? Ability to see distinctions in a realm e.g. domain of cooking

• Might be smart – doesn’t guarantee ability to predict future/breakdowns

• Ability to take a whole bunch of information and synthesize e.g. ability to take climactic data and predict

the weather

• Ability to take in and hold multiple perspectives

EMOTIONAL

• The ability to discern your own emotional states, what are you feeling at this moment, what is the

background emotional tone of your life, what emotions are present when you experience difficulties, etc.

Also, the ability to discern the emotional state of others, even when they themselves may be oblivious to

it or denying it. This includes the ability to stay present and available in relationship and in

communication in the midst of strong emotional events, be they yours or others:

• What are they feeling

• Capacity to manage what they are feeling while working with other’s emotions and feelings &know the

difference

• Capacity to stay present in the midst of strong emotional events

• The ability to observe what is happening in your body, e.g. energized, tire, heavy, open, tight, etc., and to

include what you observe into your understanding of the current moment. It’s being able to tap into the

wisdom of your body that may have a different insight into what’s happening than your intellect or your

emotions:

• It’s not just about fitness

• Being able to ‘tune into’ our bodies

• Being aware of what they are sensing internally

• The body always has a take on what's happening – the ability to tap into this is the competency

• The body as a form of intelligence

RELATIONAL

The ability to initiate and sustain mutually satisfying relationships. This competence includes being able to listen deeply and communicate profoundly with a wide variety of individuals and groups. Also included is the ability to compromise, see the world from different points of view, and be supportive of others’ intentions. The ability to set aside one’s own desires for the sake of the relationship while maintaining a sense of one’s own worth and dignity: • Ability to: • Establish mutually satisfying relationships • Speak in a way that we are heard

• Listen so that other feels heard

The ability to create a life dedicated to the benefit of everyone, not only for the advantage of yourself, family, company or clan. This means the competence to initiate and sustain practices that strengthen your bond to the wide web of life connecting all people, all living systems and all things. This also includes developing ourselves into an active member in communities dedicated to compassion, wisdom and service to others: • The question of ‘what matters?’. Question – ‘What is your ultimate concern?’ • Need community for guidance, support, sustenance & validation

• Working with people’s ability to interpret the world and align with people – as adult not 7 yr old (mystics) • Busyness – way of filling void/stillness

INTEGRATING

The ability to eliminate all the ways you compartmentalize your life so that your commitments, learning and values are present in all your words, thoughts, actions and relationships. Requires that you confront what you’ve been denying, avoiding and justifying and that you be open to continuous learning and input from others: • Identifying and eliminating places we are acting in a contradictory way

• Exploring how our lives are segmented

• ‘The practices we engage in turn us into who we are’ – how aligned are our actual practices with our other Streams? • Working on confronting what you have been denying, avoiding or justifying Using this model I am able to see where the client has gaps, is unbalanced and the areas that need work. I now use all 3 models together to creat the Purpose statement for the coaching program. This in turn allows me to create the intended out-comes of the program which are measurable by the changes in the client.

15. Give us a few examples of typical coaching challenges/ coaching goals of the clients you prefer to work with? I truly do not have any preference to the challenges that I coach. I have in my experience of coaching faced the challenges of coaching someone facing death through cancer, to changing a corporate management ethos, to retrenchment, team leadership, making requests, dealing with bulling, over commitment, burnout, dealing with criticism, dealing with feedback, productivity, reluctance to being coached. I have coached it all and am happy to coach who ever I am given.

16. When would you consider your coaching journey with an individual successful? I would consider that the coaching journey has been successful when the coaching objectives have been met and the purpose for the coaching intervention has been for filled.

I believe that when the client is able to: Have Long-Term Excellent Performance The ability to Self-correct The ability to Self-generate this will be how their way of being will demonstrate that the coaching intervention has been truly successful.

17. How much do you charge per session? Cost My professional services are .......... per session,this negotiable depending on amount of clients, I do give a discount. Price is excluding VAT. A session is usually one hour, but it can sometimes run over an hour, depending on where the client is at that time, in the coaching session.

I do require at least 24 hours’ notice, if a session is to be cancelled, or changed, or the

session will be charged in full.

Additional Expenses

Where travel and accommodation expenses are to be incurred, these can be arranged by the

client through their preferred suppliers, or the coach can arrange them through Flight Centre and

invoice expense recovery accordingly

All travel costs are for the account of the sponsoring organization, or the client.

18. What is the maximum session’s do you normally have with clients?

The Maximum sessions I normally do is 1, 1 hour session every 2 weeks. The coaching intervention takes a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 18 months although my normal is between 6 to 8 months. The amount of time is largely dependent on the commitment of the client, as there diligent work with the homework they are given is a keystone to the success of their coaching intervention

19. What is your view on leadership and leadership development?

My view of leadership is.

Leading in a complex, ambiguous and changing world is one of the greatest challenges that anyone

can ever undertake.

In order to lead effectively, leaders have to embody many qualities and skills and more specifically

those that will serve them well, particularly when the going gets tough! These qualities and skills

are often not fully developed in every individual that ever steps up for a leadership role and

consequently coaching has become a core modality to assist these leaders with the development

of those qualities and skills, that are deemed necessary and appropriate for their role.

We live in a “messy” world, which is not linear in terms of the way that it unfolds and yet

enterprises do sometimes try to present courses and develop leaders, in a linear way. Whilst

structured leadership development in the form or courses, workshops, teamwork and self-study is

essential, so too is the individual leader’s response when faced with those difficult moments of

leadership, where no book, no lecturer, or any other source of assistance, will be available to

them. At such a time, they have to rely completely on themselves, in the execution of their

leadership role. It is only in those moments that the reality of being a leader really sets in and it is

in those moments that the development of the necessary skills and qualities that have been

acquired through coaching will stand the leader in good stead.

I believe that leadership development (at all levels of an enterprise) is absolutely essential for the

continued health and sustainability of an enterprise. I also believe that the quality of the

leadership development system and the applied practice of leadership, with the enterprise, is

what will make or breaks the enterprise.
