Coaching

Space to think. Challenge to grow.

iOpener's coaching ethos

We create space. For you to think, for you to breathe. And we care about trust. We open up a compassionate conversation in which you feel safe. It’s in this subtle safe space - between the two chairs - where we believe the magic begins.

Coaching brings back the importance of human connection whilst keeping an eagle eye on productivity and results. We know that this space for leaders to breathe has a positive impact on the bottom line. The leadership path can be a lonely one, especially when expectations are high, and decisions impact the entire organisation. Together, we tackle the isolation that sometimes goes hand in hand with the demands of leadership.

Our coaching transcends traditional methods. It’s a sort of alchemy. Because we coach from the heart, it’s not just about skills; it's about maximizing potential, fostering happiness, and increasing individual, team and organizational performance.

 

"Life changing! It all begins with your unparalleled ability to see inside people.One thing is for sure, you don’t provide solutions. You equip people with the strength to find solutions on their own. You leave no other choice but for one to transform into a better version of themselves."

Simon Anneroussos
Sales Director, Carlsberg / Olympic Breweries

Coaching, your way

Whether you want to work with a coach yourself, develop coaching skills as a leader, or build coaching capability across your organisation, we can help.

Executive coaching

Dedicated space for the challenges that matter.

One-to-one coaching for leaders navigating change, transition, complexity or simply wanting to increase their impact. From focused short-term support to longer coaching relationships, the agenda is shaped around you and what you want to achieve.

Coaching as a leader

Build better leaders by having better conversations.

Develop the skills and behaviours to coach others effectively: listening differently, asking better questions and helping people find their own solutions. Highly practical, with plenty of opportunity to practise before taking the skills back to work.

Organisational coaching capability

Create coaching expertise inside your organisation.

We work with organisations to develop internal coaches and embed a coaching mindset across teams. From targeted development to more extensive programmes, we build the skills and confidence people need to coach others effectively.

"I highly recommend iOpener for executive coaching and team development. Their ability to drive performance across diverse cultures has been a massive asset to my leadership team. In particular, my coach Mark Nobbs' sharp, actionable insights were instrumental in helping me navigate a period of change and step up my leadership skills. If you are looking for a coaching partner that truly understands the pace of international business, iOpener is it."

Our partnership with iOpener is all about long-term trust. We trust them to evolve our highly successful Accelerator Leadership Development Programme to suit our changing needs, tailoring it over five years to keep it fresh and relevant. Our programme continues to develop our senior leaders, and equips them to step up to even more senior roles - which 35% of them have done since completing the program."

I loved, loved, loved, loved and hated it in equal measure the acting sessions: loved how interactive they were. And I loved how it pushed us out of our comfort zone a fair bit. And I think there's nothing wrong with that feeling even though at the time it's awful. And I loved that the working session led us to develop our own workshop, and to partner with someone to deliver that. I thought that was brilliant.”

I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the LEAD Compass Program in the Asia Pacific region, delivered by iOpener. For over ten years the program has been a major success, thanks to the outstanding facilitators from iOpener, who worked in parallel to deliver to the same standards in both APAC and Europe."
