(These wise words are usually credited to the acclaimed genius Albert Einstein.)

Looking back at my long (and successful) Reward career, there were several times when I felt I was going round and round in circles and I wished I’d had a coach. I was looking for:

• a guide who understood my work
• someone who could help me assess what was serving me well and what I needed to change
• an independent and trustworthy sounding board who would support me to achieve my goals

I searched extensively for this elusive person and found no real option that met my criteria. Instead, I opted for generic coaches who disappointed me because they either:

• didn’t understand the challenges of my role
• were ill-prepared for our sessions
• didn’t follow up on their promises

In summary, they were a waste of time and poor value for money.

My Reward coaching provides you with the option I was looking for all along: a dedicated one-to-one time where you can share your story as it is, in confidence.

If you’re a Head of Reward or a Reward Manager, my Reward coaching sessions are for you.

You may be new in the role, have an underperforming team, and feel frustrated you don’t have anyone impartial around you to talk through your challenges.

I’ve been there and this is exactly why I’m offering you Reward coaching. My sessions follow the five steps of my proprietary E.A.R.T.H.® framework:

• EVALUATE your current situation
• ASCERTAIN your goals
• REALISE what you keep and what you let go
• TELL your story in your confidential log
• Set up an ongoing HELP programme to monitor your progress and results

My aim is for you to:

• get clear about what’s working well and not so well
• improve your performance (either directly or through your team) and
• receive the recognition you deserve

It’s easy for us to work together. First, book your discovery call. Then, if we feel there is mutual synergy, I’ll provide details of what you can expect from our coaching sessions:

• Preparation of each bespoke session
• Actual sessions
• Recording with a summary of the key points we discussed
• Follow up actions (yours and mine)

As Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” If you don’t follow his wise words, your situation will not change. You and your valuable team members will become dissatisfied and eventually leave. It’s a lose-lose situation.

So invest in your personal development today: £3,000 + VAT for six sessions of 45 minutes each, paid for and booked in advance.

This is an introductory special offer and I’m taking on a limited number of clients. If you miss out on this initial intake, I operate a waiting list. So please email me and I’ll let you know when a space becomes available.
