What is the Hedgehog Executive 1-2-1 Coaching offer and point of difference? We got asked this recently by a potential client and so we thought we would share it again. We love what we do and believe we make a difference for our clients. If you think we could help you drop us a message [email protected] to arrange an initial chat. #executivecoaching #businesscoach Alyson Chadwick Myles Duckworth Peter Frost Gill Taylor Nick Worrall Gareth Roberts Stuart Roberts Penny Loveless David Coakley James Lammond

Most organisations believe they have a clear Ambition for their business – what they want to achieve and by when.   However, our findings often reveal they are less clear in how that Ambition translates into the changes, actions and plans needed to deliver it, with misalignment at executive level and across teams leading to disconnects with colleagues and customers. We believe that delivering transformative results and business success is linked to being clear, focused and aligned - as a business and as a team - on what you want to achieve, and how you’re going to deliver it. Whether that’s pursuing a growth or scale-up agenda, navigating key challenges or market changes, developing and prioritising your plans for the future, reducing costs or undertaking a full business reset. Translating Ambition into action and results involves getting clear and aligned on what that Ambition means in reality, and focusing and aligning the specific changes, actions and plans that will underpin delivery and set you up for success. Are you set up for success? Some questions to test your organisation …… ❓ Is everyone clear and aligned on the Ambition for your business, and what that means in practice? ❓ Are you clear on the changes and actions needed to deliver this and how you will make this happen? ❓ Have you looked at what you need to stop as well as start or change to create focus and alignment to your Ambition? ❓ Do you have a focused roadmap and plan in place that maps out how you’re going to deliver across the organisation? ❓ Do you have a robust financial plan that underpins the Ambition you have? ❓ Is everyone clear on their role in delivering the Ambition, and how goals and activities cascades across the organisation? If the answers to any of the above are ‘no’ or ‘not completely’ and you’d like to explore how Hedgehog could help, or want an external independent view to test where you are as an organisation, please contact Alyson Chadwick for an initial confidential chat at [email protected]. #businessstrategy #businessplanning #businesssuccess

Seems Oasis tickets were difficult to get hold of all round, unlucky Rod Bulmer, maybe time to hang that parka up once and for all!!!!!!

We've updated our website and url and got clearer on our services - Strategy to Delivery and Executive Coaching. It was important to get this right but more important to Rod Bulmer and Alyson Chadwick is that we deliver with the same personality - We know our stuff. We tell it how it is. We’re professional but not overly corporate. We’ve got your back. We're assured and confident but never arrogant. Let us know what you think......

We are strong advocates of the value that Executive 1-2-1 Coaching can bring to individuals and organisations. Rod Bulmer talks about this regularly. We are also seeing an increasing trend that Executive Team based coaching and development is sometimes the requirement to really achieve a step change in performance. Our belief is that for Executive teams it is "Fellowship" that provides the impetus to create this step change.

It’s been amazing watching all the individual and team performances over the last couple of weeks, and also interesting to hear the athletes talk about their journeys, the goals they set, and the actions they took to give them the best chance for success. Analogies are often made between business and sport be that in leadership, team dynamics, and/or strategies for operational or performance gains to achieve success. The parallels we see when working with our clients include ... ➡ Make sure you’re clear on your goals, that they’re specific to you (your business) and ideally timebound ➡ Identify and focus on the things that will get you there and achieve that target performance improvement, eg specific actions, building new routines, changing how things work or your equipment. Look not just at the big silver bullets but also the multiple ‘1% shifts’ that taken together will achieve the step change ➡ Stop or change what’s not serving you in achieving your goals, eg behaviours, projects or elements of the business that aren’t aligned ➡ Recognise the importance and role of the whole team across the business (beyond the athletes!) – everyone clear on the goal, their role in making it happen, and engaged and motivated to achieve it ➡ Put a plan in place with clear timelines and interim targets to achieve the ultimate step change in performance you’re looking for, so you can see and review measurable progress and adjust as appropriate Following Team GB’s rowers success in 2024 and their best ever overseas Olympics, Louise Kingsley, GB Rowing Team Director of Performance, said … “We’re greater than the sum of the parts. There was a lot of change. Change the staff, change the morale, change the budget, change the structure and reshape the whole thing.” ❓ Are your Goals, Activities and Plans all clear, focused and aligned to achieve your Ambition? go faster?” ❓ Is everyone clear, aligned and motivated to making it happen? ... Is everyone rowing in the same direction and in sync with each other? ❓ For everything you’re doing …. “Will it make the boat go faster?"

Busy week at Hedgehog as we have prepared two proposals for our Executive Team Development offer - The Leadership Advantage. At the heart of our offer is the belief that "Fellowship" really does matter for Executive teams to thrive. Building Executive Fellowship - An Executive Team which builds fellowship will always seek to ensure their collective goals are achieved. Individuals are ambitious, but first and foremost this is for the organisation and not themselves. They have each other’s backs. They attribute success to the wider organisation but will always take responsibility when things are not going well. I am sure others will have a view but in Rod Bulmer's opinion the primary reason the Co-op Group survived it's crisis was that it built fellowship amongst it's Executive leadership team - Steve Murrells CBE Pippa Wicks Richard Pennycook Greg Nugent Alistair Asher (thanks Steve Tappin) - that meant it could act and move quickly as one.

What's the difference between a Strategy and a Plan? The words are often used interchangeabley, but they are different. Neither on their own will deliver the results you're aiming to achieve. But together, they have an important role in helping organisations' achieve their target Ambition. If you feel your current plans and performance aren't delivering the results you want, or you're turning your attention to planning for the next year or so check you're clear on the Ambition and Strategy you're planning to deliver, and that your Plans align to making it happen.
