His coaching is appropriate for frontline supervisors, middle management through to senior executives/managers and groups/teams.

Coaching Method - Individuals

Over the past five years he has provided Executive Developmental Coaching services focusing on the development of individual thinking that facilitates positive behaviour change, both one-on-one and in groups/teams. He specifically focuses on the development of thinking and behaviours that promote the establishment and maintenance of high quality relationships.

Three key processes underpin Graham’s coaching approach:

• Supporting and guiding attention: The initial key processes involve gaining trust, collecting data, reviewing andmaking sense of the data, establishing priorities, creating motivation and building resolve.
• Envisioning outcomes: The secondary key process involves interactive conversations that build awareness, attention and the weighing up of opportunities for change and growth.
• Enacting new behaviours and experiences: The final key process involves enacting and experimenting with new thinking and behaviours.

Coaching Method - Groups & Teams

Graham’s team and group programs involve bringing people together to create forums where dialogue and trust can be built. He provides cognitive and organisational frameworks that assist participants to interpret the environment within which they ‘live’ and to create a shared common understanding that each participant can use to formulate goals and describe success.

Through a blend of individual and group coaching sessions participants are given opportunities to reflect and make personal changes and discoveries, build confidence, resilience and high quality relationships.
