Expert Performance Coaching & Leadership Development Coaching

What is SEI?

Social and Emotional Intelligence (SEI, EQ, EI or Emotional Intelligence) helps raise awareness of ourselves and others in the moment, use that awareness to improve our responses to challenging situations and better manage our relationships with others. 

How it works

The Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP®) is the most comprehensive self-assessment on today's market. It describes specific behaviours linked to SEI competencies, where SEI competencies are lacking and it provides specific developmental tools for improvements.

The SEIP® comes in individual and 360 degree versions. Combine this with performance coaching, and you have the fastest-growing and most in-demand area of transformational leadership coaching today. 

Who uses SEI?

Consultants, coaches, HR professionals, leaders, teams and those who want to experience personal and professional growth.

The SEIP® has been used by experts within Starwood Hotels (parent company of Westin, Sheraton Hotels, Four Points and more), Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Symantec, and Century Link.

What is coaching?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as 'partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and  professional potential.'

What makes Rachael Shaw a good Leadership Coach?

Coaching Certifications (Leadership, Organisational Coaching), professional leadership experience and performance coaching, theoretical leadership knowledge and a professional qualification or credential (ICF have strict education and experience requirements) ensuring leadership development coaching standards, strong ethical behaviours, and ongoing professional development so you receive quality coaching. 

Transformational Leadership Coaching creates new neural pathways

Reflecting on experience (both positive and adverse situations) creates new neural connections. This neural plasticity increases abilities to evaluate, self-regulate, reflect and change. When neural connections are forged it results in increased self-reliance and self-belief, which develop confidence, clarity, a holistic view and the motivation to act. 

Three key coaching models adopted by Leadership and People

Carol Dweck's 'Growth Mindset' - learning from mistakes improves future actions.

John Whitmore's Goal, Reality, Options and Will (GROW ) helps you explore what you want, what is happening, what your options are and how you will move towards your goal.

Lisa Lahey and Robert Kegan's 'Immunity to Change' identifies conflicting barriers preventing you from achieving change and how you can overcome these barriers. 

What is Leadership Training?

The focus is to cultivate and refine the qualities required for effective leadership. It can be delivered through workshops, seminars, online courses, performance coaching, mentoring, simulations, and experiential learning activities. It can also be customised to address specific leadership challenges.

Because leaders set the tone, inspire, motivate, and guide others toward achieving strategic objectives, their training plays a vital role in developing competence and influence when navigating complexities, inspiring teams, driving innovation, and adapting to change in the ever-evolving business landscape.

Leadership Training components

Skill Development: aim to build various skills including communication, decision-making, problem-solving, conflict resolution, strategic thinking, delegation, team building, and adaptability.

Team Dynamics: understand and manage team dynamics, foster collaboration, create cohesive teams, and motivate individuals to work toward common goals.

Change Management: Given the dynamic nature of business environments, leadership training often covers change management strategies, helping leaders navigate and lead through periods of change or uncertainty effectively.

Leadership Development Coaching: be trained in how you demonstrate ethics, values and other personal attributes in the workplace. Develop your confidence and stop imposter syndrome.
