Leadership Coaching
Leadership actions are at the heart of people's activity.
When you want growth, results and change, bring leadership up to modern standards.
"For me, this coaching was really eye-opening. I would be happy to take this forward in the work community, towards promoting goals and improving culture."
KAISA RANTALA, DIRECTOR OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, NAANTALI
But talking about leadership is not enough.
Leadership is action: the courage to do, think and organise collective action for positive change.
Through my method You will have access to a unique leadership development tool.
The good news: because experience and knowledge of leadership can only be gained by doing, it can be practised.
The tool gives results at three levels:
- Create a space for experimentation and bring people together around your leadership theme
- Learn about yourself and what you do, and develop yourself as a leader
- Learn from others about their insights and leadership experiments
Leadership growth programme applies experiential learning outcomes and new ideas to your everyday work.
During the process, sharing takes place in a supportive atmosphere, because for once you have the opportunity to try and fail, learn and share, search and discover.
In a pressure tested frame.
My experiential leadership simulation provide a living and shared metaphor, which you can use for leadership, strategy, collaboration and building effective organisational structures.
(see the interview with General Director Olli-Pekka Heinonen here).

What happens in leadership coaching?
In my coaching, you get an experience that leads to an insight.
Together, we are more than the sum of our parts.
This simple insight produces new ways of leading.
Now, we get going. I challenge you to face what you do and gain new perspectives on leadership.
The topic of good feedback becomes central. You control the process in a constructive direction.
What happens in training:
- participants operate at the same level
- each working on their own merits and strengths
- eyes turn in the same direction
- interaction between participants is immediate
- accepting responsibility does not feel like accepting responsibility
- genuine encouragement is involved (even in difficult situations)
- a shared sense of empowerment makes helping your colleague easy
The experience of building a common rhythm will be meaningfully shared, reflected upon and translated into a living metaphor for everyday work.
This is the start of a journey towards new ways of knowing and doing.
Across your organisation.
"I would certainly recommend your coaching to my colleagues."
KARI KANALA, ORDERER, VICAR, PAAVALIN SEURAKUNTA, HELSINKI
How do you use leadership coaching?
Create momentum for positive change.
A growth programme is an effective way to make use of the results of your coaching.
In the process, you create a shared future that matters. The coaching provides new skills and supports the internalisation and application of what has been learned (see picture below).
Leadership coaching topics
Your topic could be, for example
- coaching leadership
- managing cooperation
- leadership in interaction
- clarifying the vision of the organisation
- creating a people-centred strategy
- what does it take to manage meaning?
- unlocking potential throughout the organisation
- courage, interaction and recognition of your own skills
Leading people involves managing encounter situations. This topic can be included in all my programmes.
How does the coaching process work?
I will target the process to serve your important and spesific issue.
Coaching starts before the first joint meeting by tuning the mindset.
For this we use either face-to-face meetings, initial questioning about the situation or activating questions.
Creating a shared space happens during the first joint meeting, which brings leaders together intellectually, emotionally and experientially.
Succesful encounter is important, because this way trust within the team can rise to a sufficient level.
We are seizing this transformative moment. Now solution-focused coaching will become more involved in the process.
Experiments in everyday life are an important part of the growth process. They are implemented with low threshold, so that information about new ideas can be shared with the whole team.
We ensure progress by aligning your coaching with your business objectives.
"The session gave good and fresh perspectives for cooperation."
PARTICIPANT, RENEWERS LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME, SITRA
Examples of application
For leaders, executive boards and management teams
Process of 3 - 9 months creates a positive force for change at different levels. The time between meetings will be used to deepen experiences and ideas and to experiment in everyday life. The knowledge gained from the experiments will be brought back into the common space, tested and discussed. The result is a new ways of working that generate again new perspectives. A profound process of change.

1 - 2 days of coaching use music and rhythm to open up joint working in a meaningful way. The theme and the shared experience go beyond traditional training. The coaching reinforces the implementation of results at team and organisational level, in addition to the insights of individuals.
In 2-3,5 hours of coaching session the main focus is on building a common rhythm. My experiential learning method is so effective that results can be achieved in just one meeting. The session provides a good basis for exploring the growth, progress and change required for a common goal. Suitable eg. as part of a longer change process or training programme.
This has been successfully applied in the Sitra/HAUS leadership programmes built by Renewers and Petri Virtanen among others.
My personal coaching creates links to your future. In the meetings, with leader or manager, the starting points are Solution-Focused Coaching and techniques for Non-Violent Communication NVC.

Please note! Full participation in the leadership coaching does not require any previous experience in music.
