Coaching philosophy
I am passionate about understanding people and helping them to achieve their full potential. Whether working with investment bankers in Europe or factory workers in Africa, I have found that people’s needs, motivations and feelings of self-belief and achievement in a business are the same the world over. I believe that life is just too short to put up with anything less than a business or career that fills you with vitality and purpose. I find it is sometimes the smaller, smarter steps that create the biggest leaps. My goal is to help my clients fly higher with sharper focus and in doing so get both faster and better results for both themselves and their teams.
"Georgina has been a tremendous help to me and my team over the last four years. From Customer Service training to whole team Away Days for all 50 of us, and supportive one-on-one SMT coaching she has helped us to become a more energised, cohesive and focused team. She uses her wealth of experience, incisive questioning and listening skills, as well as challenging us where necessary, to produce creative, motivating and positive options which gain the buy in and commitment of those she is working with.”
