Is coaching right for you?

Coaching helps if you need to…

  • Step up into a bigger role and lead at a different altitude.
  • Make better decisions when the pressure is on.
  • Build presence and influence with boards and senior stakeholders.
  • Lead a team that spans several generations.
  • Get a new senior hire productive, and keep them.
  • Find a confidential space to think, away from the day job.

Talk it through

Our coaching model

From the inside out

Lasting change starts with how you see yourself, then spreads to how you decide, how your team works and what the business gains.

The D3 Coaching Model Four concentric rings. From the centre outward: Self-awareness, Clarity under pressure, Connected teams, Lasting impact. 1234
  1. Self-awareness

    Understand how you think, react and come across, especially under pressure.

  2. Clarity under pressure

    Decide well when stakes are high and information is incomplete.

  3. Connected teams

    Build the trust that lets people speak up and perform together.

  4. Lasting impact

    Turn new habits into results the business can see, and that last.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is coaching confidential?

Yes. What you discuss with your coach stays between you. Where an organisation is paying, we agree up front with you and your sponsor what, if anything, is shared: usually the goals and a light-touch view of progress, never the content of sessions. [[TODO: confirm D3 policy]]

How do you match me with a coach?

We listen to what you need in a first confidential conversation, then suggest the coach whose background fits best. You meet them in a chemistry call before you commit, and you can ask to meet someone else if the fit is not right.

Is coaching in person or online?

Both. Sessions can be in person in the City of London or by video, and many clients mix the two. [[TODO: confirm]]

Can my company be invoiced?

Yes. We can invoice your organisation or you personally. Prices are shown excluding VAT.

What if I need to reschedule?

Let us know as early as you can and we will rearrange. [[TODO: confirm notice period]]
