As international organisations and UK companies struggle with so much change from the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) to robotics, and the challenges from new market competition, as well as Brexit implications, we are delighted to be able to offer bespoke coaching through Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) that can support transformational leadership.

Equipping global mobility professionals

This relationship will also help to ensure that HR global mobility professionals are equipped to manage group moves and support their line managers as they respond to mergers and acquisitions, as well as fully supporting diversity across their organisations.Like the AoEC, we believe that all organisations and their people should have the opportunity to flourish. Their aim is to bring about positive change in human interaction and communication to deliver an improved triple bottom line for organisations with a focus on results, relationships and reputation.Gina Lodge, chief executive officer, speaking about AoEC’s approach, says, “We feel strongly that companies focusing solely on profit won’t be around in the next 10 years. Change needs to happen in the form of a more collaborative, distributed leadership style where employees are made responsible for their choices and held accountable for them. This level of autonomy can be applied to establish a more empowered and motivated workforce.”

Supporting staff to draw on their own insights

Ms Lodge explained that individuals should be supported to draw on their own insights and knowledge to come up with solutions rather than operate in a command and controlled environment. “Our vision is about changing the world and we fully appreciate that we’ve got some work to do, but we’re not afraid of that – we see challenges as opportunities for growth. We live in an uncertain and volatile world, but one where there is uncertainty, but there is also possibility.”One of the major strengths of the AoEC is their ability to design programmes that get to the heart of what companies are trying to achieve. Their faculty and consultants combine master-level psychological experience with extensive business leadership and coaching expertise. Their team of professional consultants and a highly skilled faculty all have a strong business background and a passion for people.
