Greater personal and professional fulfillment

You might be feeling that your role overwhelms you, that your worklife balance is problematic, or just have a feeling that you're meant to be doing something different. Coaching can help you understand what fulfills you and how to achieve it.

Enhance your peformance

As ICF (Interational Coaching Federation) states, coaching is all about maximising your potential. It can be a goal you want to reach, a new role, a challenge to overcome or a time when you feel stuck to name a few.


Be an authentic leader

Develop an awareness of who you are as a leader and how you bring your leadership to bear on the challenges you are facing in your role, your team, your organisations, your partnerships, or your communities.

  • Very useful. My coach, Magda was an excellent facilitator, and it was very much tailored to my needs. She challenged me to ask difficult questions of myself and critically evaluate whatI can do to improve my own performance and influence on the team.

    One-to-one Coaching

  • The coaching was thought provoking and provided a focus on some particular areas of change both as a councillor and as an individual. My coach utilised several useful models and questioning which have further challenged my own self belief and improved for the better. Others have remarked on the change, enabling me to be more effective in making a difference.

  • Magda is an absolute delight to work with. I found it so easy to open up to her and she took the time and explored various challenges I encountered. Magda helped me strategise and I really looked forward to the next session with her where I could discuss my successes +/-failures in the techniques we thought I could try. I liked her analogies-I have used them since our last session too!
