Commercial, pragmatic and highly focused executive coaching

 

""Sue has worked with me personally for some years as a coach and as a top team facilitator for some of the Brands and Senior Executives within Arcadia. She works with me in a way that has enabled me to achieve speedy, increased and sustainable effectiveness in my career through focused learning. I would recommend the coaches at Executive Coaching to anyone who wants to understand their personal strengths and work in a focused way with an expert coach to achieve their business goals. The coaches at Executive Coaching are commercial, pragmatic and highly focused. The coaching they provide on an individual basis has given valuable insight and helped our senior executives to gain greater perspective in terms of managing relationships, prioritising, strategic thinking, influencing and confidence.""

Coach profile

Geraldine Gallacher

Emma Spitz

Emma is particularly interested in working with individuals during transition points in their careers - either to a more senior role, working within a new organisation or through periods of significant change. She enjoys working with high potential individuals and managers to enable them to realise their potential and their aspirations. Emma has a highly empathic and intuitive approach to coaching which provides her with insights into her clients which allows her to challenge them in a fearless and demanding yet encouraging and supportive way.

"Clients describe me as being open and challenging within a highly supportive and constructive framework. I bring objectivity and structure to a client's personal and professional development goals, as well as thought-provoking insights."

Coaching style

Each coaching programme is tailored to her individual client's needs, where they will examine their strengths, development areas, coaching and business objectives using a structured framework which allows them to develop relevant and achievable action plans leading to significant results. Emma combines perceptiveness with a strong pragmatic and business focus to ensure that her clients focus on action and achieving results.

Maternity Coaching

As a natural development of her interest in transition and development coaching, Emma successfully created and launched Maternity Coaching in 2005. Through her personal experience of maternity leave at a major Investment Bank (Emma has three small children) Emma recognised the need for bespoke coaching for working mothers. On joining The Executive Coaching Consultancy she subsequently designed and developed a coaching programme to support women before, during and after their maternity leave. She is a passionate advocate for supporting individuals during this period of transition and of the benefits that coaching can bring to both the individual and their organisation. As the first UK consultancy to offer tailored maternity coaching programmes, Emma continues to successfully lead and develop this growing area of executive coaching and ECC now leads the market as providers of maternity coaching programmes.
