Work With Me

Avanco Leadership’s primary focus is coaching. I work with you and your organisation to get you where you want to go.

I know first-hand what it’s like to lead multi-disciplinary teams. I draw on proven coaching methods and my own experience to help current and emerging leaders set their people and organisations up for success.

You know your business. As a leader, you need to be able to STOP, THINK, and REFRAME the challenges and opportunities that come with leading others. Avanco Leadership provides you with a safe, confidential space where you can process all the aspects of your role. In one-to-one coaching sessions, I will help you recognise and tap into your unique strengths as a leader and learn/discover how to bring the best out in others. I offer team development including workshop facilitation, speaking engagements and leadership training, tailored to your needs, and am experienced in working with individuals and teams via video conerencing to meet the rapidly changing needs of organisations in our current climate.

Still weighing up if you or someone in your team needs coaching? The truth is that if you’re thinking about it, you need it and are ready to take the next step.

ONE-TO-ONE LEADERSHIP COACHING

Executive coaching focused on you and your goals. You aren’t just your position in a company, you are a whole person, and your role as a leader should be an extension of who you are. Coaching isn’t about formulas; it’s about a one-to-one connection and getting to know you, your values and priorities in life and business.

Coaching only works in an environment of trust, and the Relationship Fit Test helps us determine if we are a good fit for working together.

STOP:

How often do you get to the end of the day, feeling like you spent it chasing your tail? Coaching sessions with Rick give you the time and space to catch your breath.

THINK:

Do you feel like you’re making decisions on the fly? That you don’t have time to set your team up for success? Rick helps you process the multiple aspects of leading others well in pressured environments.

REFRAME:

Do you feel stuck in your processing? For many, all it takes is the right question to spark the solution. In one-to-one coaching sessions, Rick helps you reframe issues by asking strategic questions that will unlock your thinking.
