Listening Partnership

Harnessing the power of story in Executive Coaching, Leadership and Organisational Development

We know the results that our coaching approach creates time and time again. Skilful listening produces hard results in business terms. We also know from a personal and business perspective just how powerful story can be.
We live our approach – from the inside-out.

We offer executive coaching, supervision and training for coaches, as well as L&OD consulting.

As originators of Transformational Narrative Coaching and the Story-making Leadership approach, we bring a distinctive perspective to every coaching and consulting assignment.

With over twenty-five years of experience as business consultants, executive coaches and narrative practitioners, we know what we are doing. We provide the foundational conditions for strategic conversations to happen. The conversations which really matter and make a difference.

For companies

We offer companies the chance to partner with us to invest in their people. Senior leaders, emergent leaders and leadership teams are our focus. Broadly, we build OD Interventions for you to address crucial areas of business need.

For coaches

Add a new dimension to your coaching. Complement your existing repertoire of coaching skills with our distinctive narrative approach. Our training programmes and supervision will enrich and enhance your coaching business.
