Why do I need an Executive Coach?

The nature of being a senior leader comes with loneliness and pressure. Opportunities to spend time away from the day-to-day running of your business to focus on growth and personal development are rare. Our Executive Coaches act as an objective, external sounding board, providing a safe haven where you can delve deep into areas that are most important to you. As your hidden hand in the boardroom, they facilitate strategic alignment, challenge your assumptions and beliefs, and hold you to account for delivering results.

Testimonials

I engaged The Rubicon Partnership to work with my Executive Directors to support us with strategy development. From the start, they rapidly and effectively appraised the challenges and opportunities facing us, enabling the Board to create a clear, unambiguous strategy for the business going forward. They worked with us to ensure that the strategy was clearly communicated to every level of the business, enhancing levels of engagement across all of our teams. Their robust and challenging approach made the process fast moving, fun and hugely valuable and we look forward to them returning when we meet to review our annual performance next year.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, FOOD PRODUCTION INDUSTRY

I have worked for and with Eleanor for over 15 years. In my opinion, she is unquestionably in the top 1% of the most commercially minded, forward thinking and courageous business leaders I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is extremely bright, dynamic and versatile. Skillfully cutting through the corporate “glue” of organisations, demystifying complexity and building confidence in leaders enabling them to make things happen.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE SEARCH INDUSTRY

I am both a sociable and introverted person. Consequently, I hide my need for support behind a smile and my ability to find energy and answers inside myself. The Rubicon Partnership read my personality immediately and explained that if I wanted to benefit from being coached, I would need to open up, become vulnerable and be more self-aware. They have greatly contributed to my personal development.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

In the 12 years that I have worked with Eleanor, she has consistently inspired others to stretch and achieve beyond the level that they thought they were capable of. Working with people from a broad spectrum of organisations ensures fresh insights and perspectives which have created true value and a significant difference.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, HR & DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY

Eleanor is one of those rare talents who expertly combines a unique blend of personal development skills with an entrepreneurial mindset. Her deeply personal and committed approach to coaching, in particular, allows her to cut to the heart of the matter yet work supportively and collaboratively with individuals and teams to help them materially improve and progress both personally and professionally. This insightful and incisive style of coaching helped me through some challenging times in our business and compelled me to think much more critically about my life balance and future in a manner that has helped me greatly.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE, SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

Executive coaching sessions with The Rubicon Partnership have forced me to work regularly on the most important things. Their method of coaching helps me get to the real issue quickly and challenges my normal thought processes. Our one to one sessions ensure that I am accountable for my decisions and actions. With them, not making decisions and not taking action is not an option.

MANAGING DIRECTOR, SECURITY INDUSTRY

Eleanor played an enormous role in helping me to tackle the challenges that I faced leading a fast growing and highly ambitious food business through a period of intensive change while balancing running a home and looking after my young children. Her holistic, sharp and insightful approach brought sense and perspective to the situation and encouraged me to change and commit to taking action. She helped me to understand the power of vulnerability, of looking deep into oneself and having the confidence to believe that the way forward is often right in front of you.

I have been working with Eleanor for the last 3 and a half years and it has transformed my business and it has transformed me. Being able to have a source of such expertise, such honesty and belief in me and my brand is a powerful combination and I don't think I'd be where I am now without Eleanor and the whole team.

No hesitation in recommending Eleanor and her team at Rubicon.

Both myself personally and my management team have been involved with the rubicon partnership for several years now. from a personal point I have benefited from the openness and structured approach in both one to one coaching and in larger groups of similar minded individuals from entirely different business background / sectors. my management team from different levels have found the sessions to be motivating and confidence building on how each of them have grown into a different way of working / managing.
