Imagine building a coach centric culture where people feel empowered, think for themselves and create an “asking” vs. “telling” culture!
Coaching is a key skill for a successful leader. By coaching, we empower others to think for themselves and in the process create future leaders; get time back to lead, and do the things that matter.
My personal journey with coaching started informally when managing teams in a large FMCG multi-national. As a senior leader, I was coached, and I was empowered to coach my team. I have been involved in coaching since 2000, and as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) I am passionate about creating coach centric cultures and have equipped thousands of leaders and executives with the skills and tools to lead their teams effectively through coaching.
Executive coaching when done well can increase overall effectiveness in a role by up to 18%.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership of assisting an individual or team to identify where they are, where they want to go, and then all the magic happens in the gap in between. In a nutshell, coaching is a conversation between the leader and coachee to bridge the gap by the coach asking powerful questions and utilising a plethora of tools to empower the coachee to come up with their own answers and solutions. People own what they co-create, and involvement is key, be the all “asking” manager not the all “telling” manager.
There are 4 key leadership postures we can take. Training, mentoring and demonstrating all play a part as what we do, but coaching is one of the most empowering.
We are passionate about equipping managers and leaders to be able to coach and always reinforce that coaching should not be remedial. Coaching can be a formal conversation or a 5 minute “coaching on the Fly” chat to get to a great outcome.
Coaching can (but is not limited to):
We believe that if you want commitment, then coach, if you want compliance, then tell.
A leader as a coach will assist an individual and teams in identifying blind spots, stretching their capabilities and professional strengths whilst coaching through change and development to be the best they can be!

What Our Clients Are Saying
GS1 have engaged Renee Giarrusso in a Coaching capacity for over 8 years. Through her capacity as an excellent Coach at all different levels of Management in our organisation she has been able to provide skills and leadership practices that have enabled our people to thrive and mature and in many case reach their full potential.
But it is the work she has done with my Senior Leadership Team using psychometric assessment tools that I have been most impressed with. The tools she has used have given us insights that have helped us to be a more cohesive, collaborative team and to appreciate that whilst the team is made up of individuals, learning how to succeed together is what we are all working to achieve. The lessons learnt, the wisdom shared and the results of the assessment tools have all been invaluable to building our foundations of trust and respect, making us a strong and productive Senior Management Team.
