As we head towards the end of the year, many of our clients are looking to confirm their plans for next year and beyond. One of the key themes that regularly comes up in our conversations is ensuring clarity and alignment as an Executive team on what you’re aiming to achieve, what that means for the organisation and how you’re going to deliver it. Check out our 5 steps below for ensuring clarity and alignment across your planning activity to set you up for success Want some help with finalising your plans for next year and ensuring you're clear and aligned as a team? We can provide hands-on support and expertise, an external perspective and challenge partner, or advice and coaching to support you on your journey Please get in touch with Alyson for more information and a confidential chat. #hedgehog #businessplanning #planningforsuccess

Delighted that we are starting to get good traction with our Leadership Advantage offer in partnership with Penny Loveless at Pecan Partnership. Every time we prepare a bespoke client proposal the more convinced we are that Executive Team Fellowship is central to sustained business success. "An Executive Team which builds fellowship will always seek to ensure their collective goals are achieved. Individuals are ambitious, but first and foremost this is for the organisation and not themselves. They have each other’s backs. They attribute success to the wider organisation but will always take responsibility when things are not going well" Rod Bulmer leads on this from a Hedgehog perspective and he always says that the Co-op turnaround was centred on a very clear member-led strategy and strong Executive Fellowship in overseeing delivery. We have all worked in many different organisations, does this resonate with your experiences? we'd love to know. rod@hedgehogcoach.com Alyson Chadwick Ella Overshott Myles Duckworth Gill Taylor Stuart Roberts Nick Worrall #executivecoaching #businesscoach

"The expertise and experience of our coaching community sets us apart from the competition. We haven't just read about what it is like to be a senior executive. We have been there ourselves and know what it is like to be in our clients' shoes - the challenges, the excitement, the breadth, the relationships, the politics, the stress, the worries, the loneliness." Real-life practical experience is part of the Hedgehog Executive Coaching DNA but why does it matter…...... Industry Knowledge - business coaches often benefit from experience in the industry they are coaching. This helps them provide relevant advice and strategies. Practical Business Experience - coaches who have held exceutive leadership positions bring practical, hands-on experience. They understand the challenges executives face because they’ve been through similar situations themselves. Credibility - having experience builds credibility. Clients are more likely to trust a coach who has demonstrated success in the business world or who has worked with other successful clients. Insight and Problem-Solving - experienced coaches are better at diagnosing business challenges and providing actionable solutions. They can offer insights that go beyond theory, rooted in real-world experience. Every situation deserves its own tailored solution. But in most situations “experience matters” and is one of the most important factors when selecting a coach. We have some availability at present so please do reach out for an confidential and informal initial chat if you think coaching could be of help to you rod@hedgehogcoach.com #executivecoaching #businesscoach #coaching #experience https://lnkd.in/egyrdAtz

Most organisations believe they have a clear Ambition for their business – what they want to achieve and by when.   However, our findings often reveal they are less clear in how that Ambition translates into the changes, actions and plans needed to deliver it, with misalignment at executive level and across teams leading to disconnects with colleagues and customers. We believe that delivering transformative results and business success is linked to being clear, focused and aligned - as a business and as a team - on what you want to achieve, and how you’re going to deliver it. Whether that’s pursuing a growth or scale-up agenda, navigating key challenges or market changes, developing and prioritising your plans for the future, reducing costs or undertaking a full business reset. Translating Ambition into action and results involves getting clear and aligned on what that Ambition means in reality, and focusing and aligning the specific changes, actions and plans that will underpin delivery and set you up for success. Are you set up for success? Some questions to test your organisation …… ❓ Is everyone clear and aligned on the Ambition for your business, and what that means in practice? ❓ Are you clear on the changes and actions needed to deliver this and how you will make this happen? ❓ Have you looked at what you need to stop as well as start or change to create focus and alignment to your Ambition? ❓ Do you have a focused roadmap and plan in place that maps out how you’re going to deliver across the organisation? ❓ Do you have a robust financial plan that underpins the Ambition you have? ❓ Is everyone clear on their role in delivering the Ambition, and how goals and activities cascades across the organisation? If the answers to any of the above are ‘no’ or ‘not completely’ and you’d like to explore how Hedgehog could help, or want an external independent view to test where you are as an organisation, please contact Alyson Chadwick for an initial confidential chat at alyson@hedgehogstrategy.com. #businessstrategy #businessplanning #businesssuccess

Seems Oasis tickets were difficult to get hold of all round, unlucky Rod Bulmer, maybe time to hang that parka up once and for all!!!!!!

We've updated our website and url and got clearer on our services - Strategy to Delivery and Executive Coaching. It was important to get this right but more important to Rod Bulmer and Alyson Chadwick is that we deliver with the same personality - We know our stuff. We tell it how it is. We’re professional but not overly corporate. We’ve got your back. We're assured and confident but never arrogant. Let us know what you think......

We are strong advocates of the value that Executive 1-2-1 Coaching can bring to individuals and organisations. Rod Bulmer talks about this regularly. We are also seeing an increasing trend that Executive Team based coaching and development is sometimes the requirement to really achieve a step change in performance. Our belief is that for Executive teams it is "Fellowship" that provides the impetus to create this step change.
