When we provide executive coaching and training, our clients experience simple, firm and direct questions that respect their world without allowing them to avoid difficult topics and insights. We take them to the heart of issues, enabling them to achieve new insights, develop new strategies, and rehearse their next steps, including potentially difficult conversations. As a result they achieve transformational change in the context of their organisation. They work hard, knowing that they can say whatever they need to in confidence because before we start working together we agree what should happen if we discover something that places anyone or their organisation at risk. This reduces the potential of us facing ethical dilemmas.
We don’t have a fixed approach because we have learned our clients achieve what they need to more quickly when we use our expertise and skill in ways that are relevant for each of them. They bring their agenda and knowledge of their complex world; 3D Coaches listen with curiosity and reflect back to so clients hear and make connections to enhance their learning. We do this with reference to the wider context in which they operate, prompting systemic thinking that in turn enables organisational change.
“From the outset of our coaching sessions Liz assisted me to focus on the issue that were key for me. From the first session I was able to make some changes to my day to day working practices that have been invaluable. It was particularly helpful to reflect on issues around relationship management and how others may perceive my actions. The coaching has made a real difference to me in terms of my current role but also in being able to determine what direction I want my future career to take. Just a few coaching sessions has helped me reflect on what is important to me and take this forward. Thank you very much Liz and I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.”

3D’s approach is simple – but not easy. There’s a difference. We quickly develop trust and make clients feel heard. We have the courage to say what we see and to deal with the impact that has on those we are coaching. We don’t tinker around the edge of what our clients know, we take them somewhere they haven’t been before.
We couldn’t be this effective without paying attention to our professional development. We are all accredited by the International Coach Federation and hold coaching qualifications. We are active in several professional networks and also undertake research, all of which keeps us fresh and well informed.
Our clients achieve sustainable, transformational change because they develop an ability to see and understand their situation in new ways, creating new options. Often we don’t need to work with them for long, and we aim to help them learn to do what we do so that they can do it for themselves. That’s efficient. That provides an excellent return on investment.
In our first conversation, we will determine together what kind of alliance we need to create in order to benefit your workplace and your people. We will work towards the best outcomes for you, your team and your organisation at a pace which suits you and your budget. In this way both you and your employer will benefit from the investment in coaching. This may take one conversation, or a series of conversations over weeks, months or years
‘Thank you again for six exceptionally helpful coaching sessions over the last 20 months or so. You have asked at least one truly pivotal question each time we have met and the combined effect of these is there for all to see in me, and in the development of the business and the team.’
