Practical Leadership Coaching For Positive Change | OL

 Welcome to 

 Ordinary Leadership 

 Unleashing your potential to   create positive change 

Are you struggling to create change in yourself, your team or organization?

​I work with experienced and emerging individuals and teams to unlock potential, to deliver lasting and meaningful change. 
Introduction

Working to create change is often lonely and isolating.

It can be difficult to confront the challenges we face and do things differently. It is common to feel stuck, unsure of the right direction, and limited by the resources at hand.

It doesn't have to be this way. With my support, I can help you create positive change, unleashing untapped potential within yourself, your team, and your organization.

 

Applying insight gained from 18 years working in the public and private sectors, I specialize in providing strategic advice and practical support to experienced and emerging leaders in medium-sized organizations.

 

As a coach, consultant, and team facilitator, I help you create a safe thinking space to address individual, strategic, leadership, and team challenges. Together, we can find clarity and direction, develop effective solutions, and build the leadership skills and culture necessary for you and your organization to flourish.

To thrive, organizations need proactive leadership at all levels.

Placing the responsibility of leadership solely on a small group of people at the top is ineffective, and it holds organizations and individuals back.

 

Smart organizations know they need to create opportunities for leadership to emerge from anywhere, from where the problems and challenges are, especially when resources are limited.

 

Ordinary Leadership does this by building leadership skills at all levels. I can help you develop a culture where individuals are better able to give and receive feedback, look for solutions rather than waiting for instructions, and step up to make decisions. I focus on supporting medium-sized organizations to achieve sustainable and measurable change by supporting personal growth and clarity for leaders, tangible strategic outcomes for organizations, and more proactive and engaged teams.

Working with you to unlock organisational potential through...

What I do

One-to-one coaching

Developing leadership skills to create pathways for positive change

Leadership can feel isolating, whether you are a CEO, a senior manager, in a mid-management role, or new to management. My coaching will create a supported space for you to address your challenges. I can help you clarify your leadership style and develop the skills you need to enact the changes you want, whether for yourself, your team, or your organization.

Consulting

Unleashing potential through organizational design, strategy, and change management

 

I support CEOs and leadership teams in medium-sized organizations to address loss of purpose, poor strategy alignment and execution, complex challenges, internal conflict, limited capacity and resources, and ineffective systems and processes. Through strategic thinking and practical support, I will help you identify the solutions you need to transform your structure, strategy, delivery, and ways of working to build a lasting culture of ordinary leadership that will help you excel.

Team coaching & facilitation

Supporting teams to work better together

I support teams to tap into their true potential and develop new ways of working. As a team coach and facilitator, I will help you identify challenges and bottlenecks, foster responsibility and ownership, align around a common purpose, strengthen decision-making and motivation, resolve conflict, manage change, and build the leadership skills team members need to thrive.

How we can work together

I recognise that every organization has different needs. My goal is to find the best way that to help you achieve your objectives, by focusing on understanding your challenges, not the solutions that I can offer.

"Ben has supported us to develop practical approaches to deliver our strategic intent. A great listener who has brought clarity and insights to my thinking, Ben has admirably tried to balance the pragmatic nuts and bolts of running a small but influential NGO while also keeping an eye on purpose... he’s absolutely a partner in making progress happen. He hasn’t just stopped at setting out options but has always been ready to roll up his sleeves to help translate intent into action."

- Pia MacRae, CEO of Consortium for Street Children
