She expertly balances warmth and reassurance with challenge where you need it most. She blends her own leadership wisdom with deep listening skills and thoughtfully curated coaching strategies, to take us to places we wouldn&#x2019;t have reached alone. &#xA0;I highly recommend working with her as a coach and trusted thinking partner. &#x2013;&#xA0;Chief Innovation Officer, NGO Client Success Story The loneliness of leadership Director General, UK Government What the client has to say&#x2026; &#x201C;My role on the Board of a 3000-strong organisation is pressured. It can be lonely and exposing. Claudine has a gift of getting to the heart of an issue, reframing it so as to make progress. She asks high quality questions which make you stop and think, backed by theory and analytical skill&#x2026;Much more than that, she has many, varied practical exercises that unlock my thinking, so change becomes long-lasting and sustainable; I am a more adaptive, centred leader as a result.Claudine is also thoughtful, affirming and kind which makes it easy to be open and to try things out. In the most supportive way she never lets me off the hook. When I was holding something so tightly I was tearful, getting in my own way, she helped me creatively and intuitively to release it and let it go.&#x201D; Claudine A note from Claudine about this case&#x2026; Helena is an experienced leader of leaders. She is approaching the very top of her profession and came to coaching looking for a space to reflect on and flex how she drives change and improvement across her organisation. The challenge of collective leadership quickly came into focus as Helena explored how she relates to and influences the board-level team she is part of. Through our conversations, Helena got clearer about what she was aiming for in her career and how she was trying to get there. She is now testing out new ways of leading those around, alongside and above her, adapting her style and growing in the process. Claudine Final thoughts on this client success story&#x2026; I always look forward to my sessions with Helena because I know she&#x2019;s going to bring tough leadership challenges to the table and it&#x2019;s going to be a real work out. There are no easy answers to the complex questions Helena is grappling with and I&#x2019;m constantly in awe of her resilience, commitment and ability to reflect. We also laugh a lot. Director, UK Company What the client has to say&#x2026; &#x201C;It sounds dramatic, but coaching with Claudine has helped me come back to life professionally. When we started, my confidence was low and I felt lost and fearful. I wanted to run away from my career. But I&#x2019;ve made so much progress: I&#x2019;ve built my resilience and I have less anxiety and more perspective &#x2013; even when things go &#x2018;wrong&#x2019;. Work and life are more blended and in balance and I have more compassion for myself and others now.&#x201D; Claudine A note from Claudine about this case&#x2026; Clara is a successful HR leader who was questioning the toll that her work was taking on her well-being and her young family&#x2026;.She put herself under a lot of pressure to do a great job, to serve others and to be seen as &#x2018;on it&#x2019; &#x2026;. As we explored the situation Clara reached new insights into what was preventing her from making the changes that would help her work in a more sustainable way. She found herself more able to challenge her urge to please and began to create her own definitions of success. She also got clearer about the job she wanted and re-shaped her role in the business. Claudine Final thoughts on this client success story&#x2026; I learned so much from the coaching journey with Clara. She is deeply reflective, open and brave, willing to face up to the dilemmas that so many leaders face in the daily task of combining our work and home lives. Client Success Story Building resilience and achieving balance Public Sector Leaders Former Ambassador, UK Government &#x201C;Claudine has an outstanding ability to simplify rather than complicate issues and to cut through froth. She provides excellent scaffolding for discussion: enough to retain focus while allowing space and freedom. Our sessions are consistently practical and outcome focused, re-framing challenges and providing curated access to the the latest thinking and resources on leadership.&#x201C; Assistant Director General, United Nations &#x201C;Through the coaching I&#x2019;m becoming more intentional in how I manage my time, energy and attention so that I focus on the things that will have lasting impact. Coaching has been a safe haven where I can fully share what&#x2019;s on my mind, be supported to find my own solutions and grow as a leader.&#x201D; Director, UK Civil Service &#x201C;Claudine is fantastic and able to bring a lot of objectivity (with relevant context) to her coaching offer.&#x201D; Director, UK Civil Service &#x201C;Claudine created a safe environment to experiment and think through new challenges. She provided practical tips to improve, is very engaging, thoughtful and draws insight. Really great.&#x201D; Director General, UK Civil Service &#x201C;This has been a chance to step back and reflect on challenges honestly and openly. Claudine has an inquiring and open, friendly manner. She brings insights, enthusiasm, energy and empathy, deployed ably and adeptly.&#x201D; Chief Constable, UK Police Service &#x201C;Claudine is a highly effective coach of system leaders. Her ability to listen to clients and help them to develop new strategies to tackle complex system problems is second to none.&#x201D; Private Sector Leaders. Founders and Entrepreneurs Creative Director, Global Business &#x201C;I would recommend Claudine&#x2019;s coaching to anyone&#x2014;and especially to women navigating a male-dominated field, with or without a family, who want to feel successful on their own terms, with their values intact.&#x201D; Action Learning Participant, Global Business &#x201C;It&#x2019;s hard it is to block 90 min mid day for</description><thumbnail_url>https://cmjstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Logo-horizontal-color-RGB-e1638386275123-1024x211.png</thumbnail_url></oembed>
