When my colleague and friend Yu Dan Shi and I had exchanged and read each other’s book, we thought to share both our stories with our peers/Alumni’s at IECL. We are both passionate about helping high achievers approach and optimise their leadership roles, but tend to look from different perspectives. Having conversations about how we help our clients/coachees with our own unique approach enriched our thinking and we hope to have inspired other coaches to think about what their approach is. It makes it so much easier if we can articulate well what it is we stand for as a coach, and it makes it easier for our clients to refer others to us. The icing on the cake was the great turnout and engaged conversation with the coaches in the audience. Looking forward to next conversations!

For years I wanted to write a book but couldn’t quite decide on the best topic. Until my good friend and peer Megan Tait pointed out to me that sharing my insights and learnings from turning adversity into an advantage, would also help other people. It is a story I know so well from both my own experience and from the leaders I work with in my executive coaching practice. We all face adversity in life and business, and sometimes it’s not clear how that could actually increase our adaptability, resilience and decision making. It is my intention that the book is helping you to do just that. I was approached by Kath Walters, my book coach, in December 2018 if I wanted to write a book, and 5 months later everything fell into place. I was lucky enough and very thankful  to gather an amazing team around me to actually make it happen. Here are some pictures of the launch event and celebrations. I hope you enjoy them!

As Claudia has done many hours of coaching training and has and still works closely together with them on several pro bono future leaders coaching programs, IECL (The Institute for Executive Coaching & Leadership) interviewed her to shine a light on her personal coaching approach. Have a look if you like to get a better feel of what you can expect working with Claudia and how you can benefit from it. At the end of the video she also elaborates on what’s needed to build a coaching practice.
