The Most Common Frustrations When Managing People
Can you relate to these issues?
delegation issues
You know you need to start delegating tasks. But when you do, they aren't done quite right or you spend a lot of time chasing progress. It often feels like it's quicker to do it yourself.
juggling your day job
You got the promotion which was great but now it seems like you are still doing all the work you had before plus trying to manage a team, with all the interruptions and distractions that brings.
performance issues
Dealing with poor performance or conflict is probably not at the top of your 'fun things to do today' list. Addressing it quickly is the most effective, but in most organisations managers are left to deal with it with little or no training or support.
You don't have to do it alone
JACQUI BLAKEMORE, CERTIFIED BUSINESS COACH
Being a manager can feel like a lonely job - new responsibilities within your team and needing to demonstrate competence to those you report to, can isolate you from both directions.
But you also need to build new skills, take on new challenges and try out new ideas.
Whilst you can do that alone, it's often much quicker and less frustrating to do that with the support of someone that's already done it.
You can use them as a sounding board and to provide accountability. You can learn from their experiences, get answers to your questions and get the much needed encouragement to help navigate the path from overwhelm to impact, without worrying about judgement or criticism.
I've been there, I've done that and I've gathered tools, techniques and insights that I'd love to share with you to help you become an impactful leader with a highly engaged team.

Testimonials
Before starting my coaching journey I was struggling with self-belief, I wasn't trusting my own instincts & I'd let my emotions lead me.
Jacqui has helped me in just about every way possible. The impact she has had on my personal and professional development is immeasurable & absolutely priceless.
The skills she teaches aren't just for the workplace, they're life lessons!
Liv
It is a pleasure to work with Jacqui as she takes a very holistic view.
We have been able to look at business as well as personal developments in tandem.
Understanding that the people who work in the company have views and emotions that need to be considered whilst bringing about change, and that acknowledging them means that “buy in” and success of a project will be much more forthcoming.
Chris
When I started working with Jacqui as a mentor, I was just about to step into a more senior role in a fast-growing small business.
I was struggling with some imposter syndrome, and was getting too bogged down with my day-to-day workload to really focus on the more strategic elements of my new role.
My experience with Jacqui was such a positive one because she was able to help me on both fronts.

FAQS
What is leadership coaching, and how does it work?
Leadership coaching is a dynamic and collaborative process focused on helping individuals identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. It involves a series of one-to-one sessions with a trained coach who provides guidance, support, and accountability. Coaches use a variety of techniques and tools to help clients gain clarity, set actionable goals, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. The coaching process is highly personalized, tailored to each individual's unique needs and aspirations, and it empowers clients to make positive changes in their lives.
How long does a typical coaching engagement last?
The duration of a coaching engagement can vary based on the goals you want to achieve and where you are starting from. We will agree review points (e.g. every 3-4 sessions) to check that
the sessions are still adding value and getting you closer to your goals.
Mentoring & coaching blocks can start and stop as required. Some clients find value in a few sessions focused on specific issues or challenges, while others may engage in longer-term coaching to achieve more substantial personal or professional transformations.
It helps to plan a block of sessions to work through a particular goal or change to completion. In the discovery call we discuss your objectives and expectations to agree the best timeline for your coaching journey.
