Organisational Analysis and Succession Planning
We use world class tools and processes to gain deep knowledge of Executive Teams, in order to understand an organisation’s culture and the individual capacity and potential of each executive team member.
Our science-based approach to succession planning and corporate leadership analysis, uses best in class analysis to understand the unique talent and potential of the group and of each individual. Our methodology delivers evidence-based outcomes that win buy-in from Boards, CEOs and each individual executive.
CEOs and members of the Executive Committee rarely have the opportunity to pause and consider their own development and future potential to grow. Working with us can be revelatory and enormously career-enhancing.
Many executive leaders have unrealized talent and potential and a positive outcome of succession planning is identifying growth opportunities for great executives and to help them achieve their full potential.

Coaching
CEO Coach and Advisor
Sarah specialises in coaching CEOs, and has done so for many years. She understands the complexity, commitment and challenges of the CEO role and acts as a support, a sounding board and an advisor to CEOs. She tells them: “I am the person in your life who is always on your side, but who has no skin in your game. I am there for you, but I need nothing from you.”
She and her panel of coaches aim to be fun and elegant to work with, and to harness the powers of listening and understanding.
Sarah works on a retained basis with CEO clients and is always available to support them in a crisis.
Executive Coaching
Ideally, coaching emerges from assessment outcomes. Assessments offer suggested coaching directions, and having been through the assessment and the feedback process, executives gain a deeper understanding of their gaps and the potential to use coaching as a development tool.
Sarah and her coaching panel have made life-changing breakthroughs with senior executives by identifying deep seated self-narratives such as imposter syndrome, fear of failure, proscrastination and many, many others. Working on these with an experienced Executive Coach can have an extraordinary impact, not just in the workplace, but in life.
