"A coach enables somebody to work through the noise that is engulfing them to a point where there is a quiet firm resolve about next steps. Creating those moments of reflection and calm is not fiddling while Rome burns: it is enabling somebody to absorb the oxygen they need to lead effectively through challenging times"
Peter Shaw author of "The 4 Vs of Leadership: vision, values, value-added, and vitality"

Coaching is one of the most powerful approaches available for facilitating learning, improving performance, and creating desired results with the optimum use of energy. It can be particularly relevant for a leader who moves into a new role.
