Clare Norman

Companies come to Clare to support their people to grow through big changes, rather than being knocked for six. They also call on Clare to coach great leaders to create a ripple effect in the organisation’s engagement and productivity. Clare coaches passionate people to live their best story in times of change and in times of stability. People come to her to make high impact transitions from one company to another, from one role to another, and in stepping up to more senior leadership levels – or any other change they are making. They figure out what to leave behind and what to take with them; how to work through uncertainty; and how to make a great new beginning. They want to get clearer about their way forward, grow through the changes, manage their stress levels, enhance their own and others’ performance, and achieve their potential.

Clare’s approach to coaching is simple, non-directive, client-centred, encouraging clients to work and think in an adult way with themselves and towards others. She helps people to look at things from different perspectives and explore options creatively. Clare contracts for results with her clients and their organisation, and holds her clients accountable for their actions, pinning them down and following up. Couple that with her use of intuition to say what she sees, and you get a transformational blend. Individuals say that Clare helps them to think deeply for themselves; bring greater degrees of balance and purpose to their work and life; and provides a safe environment, in which to make sometimes uncomfortable changes happen.

Having worked as an internal coach herself, Clare is familiar with the ethical dilemmas facing internal and external coaches. She is a certified coach supervisor, and supervises coaches to pay attention to what needs to shift in them and their clients. She also mentor coaches those going for International Coach Federation credentialing, though her legendary “lock-in” and teaches coaches how to mentor coach, based on her book Mentor Coaching: A Practical Guide https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0335248799/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_Iv0CFbTXEVMBH .
