Helen Stanton (associate)
Executive Leadership Coach
Helen Stanton is an outstanding executive coach who is powerful at raising the performance levels of senior managers. Her favourite skill as a coach is providing a space for her clients to see the possibilities that lie within themselves – the strengths they can use and the differences that they can make that are meaningful for them. She encourages her clients to create a picture of exactly how they want things to be - connecting them with the energy, will and confidence to make that picture a reality. She particularly enjoys supporting her clients to step outside their comfort zone, to try out new behaviours and to assess the impact of those new behaviours on themselves and others.
