How we will know it worked

Advisory without measurement is just good conversation.

E-Colors® and Personal Intervention

Established in week one: how you are wired to lead, where that serves you, and the conditions under which it stops. Then the in-the-moment discipline for catching your default before it runs the meeting, and the shared language that turns personality diversity into an advantage across your team. Deployed for two decades in safety-critical industries, re-run at the end so change is evidenced rather than felt.

Structured stakeholder input

Gathered from reports, peers and sponsor. An external view of your leadership that no self-assessment can produce, summarised without attribution so people tell the truth.

A written development plan

Three or four priorities, not fifteen, with metrics pre-established at the start of the engagement: the ones that matter most to you and that you directly influence.

Reviews at fixed points

Mid-point and close as standard, quarterly on the twelve-month partnership.

What twelve months looks like

Each phase ends with something in your hands. Three- and six-month partnerships follow the same shape over a shorter arc.

MONTHS 1–2

Baseline

  • Diagnostic profile and debrief
  • Contracting and goal-setting
  • Stakeholder input gathered
  • Development plan written

By month two: you know how you are wired to lead, how the people around you actually experience it, and the three or four priorities the year is built on.

MONTHS 3–5

Live work

  • Real decisions, not case studies
  • First live meeting observation
  • Behaviour shifts begin
  • Early wins documented

By month five: the first postponed conversations held, live decisions handled differently, and early wins documented against your baseline.

MONTHS 6–8

Stretch

  • The harder conversations, held
  • Mid-point review against baseline
  • Design support on a session you lead
  • New behaviour tested under pressure

By month eight: the harder conversations behind you, a session you led designed and delivered, and a mid-point review showing evidenced movement.

MONTHS 9–12

Consolidation

  • Outcomes measured against baseline
  • Second observation and feedback loop
  • Forward leadership plan
  • Renewal, or a clean finish

By month twelve: change measured against week one, a team that feels the difference, a forward plan that is yours, and a clean finish or a deliberate renewal.

What you can expect to hold at the end

  • Clarity on your leadership brand: how you are seen, how you intend to be seen, and how to close the gap between the two.
  • An honest read on where your team's performance stands, and a roadmap for closing the distance to where it should be.
  • Your career progression mapped: the real options in front of you, and what each one asks of you.
  • Stronger working relationships in both directions: with the person you answer to, and with the people who answer to you.
  • A small set of carefully chosen goals, and a credible path to each one.

The working agreement

Access

Email on every engagement; WhatsApp and priority access where the engagement is designed for it.

Confidentiality

Nothing leaves the conversation. Where a sponsor pays, we agree at the outset exactly what they see.

Not your internal coach

An internal coach sits inside the politics and the talent review. I hold no stake in your organisation, which is precisely what makes the truth affordable.

If it is not working

Say so at the mid-point and we stop. I would rather end honestly at month three than deliver nine more months of politeness.
