As a certified coach, Kevin teaches specialized skills that not only develop you as an individual, but will enable you to engage the people that you lead and bring them together for real action.
Leadership skills
Do you lead a team of technical professionals or healthcare workers? If so, can you relate to any of the following?
💬 I need to create an environment that affirms my team’s strength and develops their needs.
💬 I need to deliver scientific information whilst maintaining high levels of audience engagement.
💬 I need to facilitate a discussion where there are disagreements.
💬 I need to be a memorable presenter, one that the team want to come back and hear again and again.
It is important to realize that there is:
a science to presenting scientific and financial information that few understand.
an art that few know how to pull off.
a connection that the audience is desperate for and that is not apparent frequently enough.
Kevin has learned from the best physicians, executives, engineers, and professionals and from their experience can coach you in perfecting the skills needed for the science, the art, and the connection. By understanding how teams think, he is able to teach specific leadership skills that bring individuals together for real action.
Leading former peers
Have you ever been on a team where one of the members was promoted to lead the team…but lacked the skills of leadership to do so?
💬 That’s my boss! No clue!
💬 That’s me! Sometimes I don’t have a clue!
💬 Overnight I went from a ‘we’ and an ‘us’ to a ‘them’ and a ‘they’. They didn’t tell me it would happen so fast!
Kevin recognises that if you’ve been promoted to a position where you are now leading your former peers, especially if the goal is to get from conflict to consensus, it can be extremely challenging…yet not impossible!
What if you had a “leadership whisperer” who you could confidentially tell what needed to be spoken so that you could become the leader you know you can be? Look no further!
Career Development
Have you ever received the phone call from the hiring manager after attending an interview, saying that you were great, but you were #2? If so, did you think any of the following to yourself:
💬 But my resume is great and I have loads of experience.
💬 I spent ages preparing and answered all the questions.
💬 Well that one interviewer really had it in for me, he didn’t like me from the get-go.
Kevin coaches individuals for their next job, using state-of-the art interview approaches, to ensure that you are never the #2 choice again. He can teach you how to focus your answers even when you are caught off guard, need just a moment of thinking time, or need to handle the ‘bad cop’ interviewer.
