VERTICAL LEADERSHIP COACHING

Vertical Leadership Coaching

Many of you who lead change processes might discover that the transition from practitioner to leader calls for shifts in mindset and capability. Whether you’re a change agent working within complex systems or consulting to an organisation undergoing change, making these shifts require investment in growing:

self & inter-relational awareness, 

• an ability to negotiate power dynamics, and

• the flexibility to BE curious when engaging with all kinds of feedback.

Some of you have worked hard for years to develop a sense of agency and influence, but still struggle with awareness, power, feedback, and influence - even when you have a seat-at-the-table. Some of you are able to see this shift is coming, realise that you must let go of old ways of doing, thinking and being in order to access something more from within.

Both circumstances require you, a leader, to challenge your core beliefs, others and the systems that you participate in so that a more sophisticated leadership wisdom can emerge.

Vertical Leadership Coaching is offered via two pathways to provide a supportive and safe space in which either experienced or emerging leaders (and experts) can make the journey - leadership from the inside out.

The Leadership Circle Profile™ (LCP) is an integrated, 360 feedback framework that provides a detailed snapshot in time, enabling leaders to answer the question, “How are my behaviours and mindset enabling or constraining my ability to fulfil my intended developmental objectives in both personal and professional leadership contexts?”  

Engaging with the LCP helps to release locked energy associated with the hidden, core assumptions driving undesirable behaviours known to constrain leaders from being their most creative and adaptive selves. Its holistic approach is informed by Integral Theory, Developmental Psychology, Systems Dynamics, and a variety of praxis in the field of leadership science.

The LCP Debrief begins by selecting 15 evaluators to respond to a series of questions about the leader’s performance via an online portal. The leader also completes a self-assessment. The results are aggregated, benchmarked against a database of thousands of leaders, and translated into a profile report for collective review between leader and coach.

The LCP Debrief is facilitated via 2, 90-minute, one-to-one Zoom calls. The sessions are designed to enhance the leader’s understanding and interpretation of the profile report, as well as explore emergent patterns for growth based on the focus areas that matter most to the leader.
