Executive coaching helped me when joining a new organisation. Implementing behavioral change in an organization is taxing and often lonely for a leader, and the coaching enabled me to get an objective opinion on the what, how and why. Conflict resolution and people development were two areas of particular importance and Jim Hicks excels in both these areas. Having a regular dialogue with Jim meant that I could rapidly adapt my style to the organisation and begin achieving some significant gains in getting buy-in of my strategy.
