Are you a senior doctor, medical or public health leader and seeking to:
- feel more confident and at ease with a complex, dynamic leadership role
- accelerate your leadership performance and competence
- successfully secure or transition to a new leadership or senior management role including at Board, system/ ICS, national or international level
- improve your professional satisfaction, impact and relationships at work
- increase your presence, gravitas, creativity and emotional intelligence, gaining perspective and insight, or
- needing to refocus or restructure your leadership role?
Executive and Leadership Coaching will enable you to develop your skills and capacity to take on greater levels of responsibility and complexity, prioritise, feel confident, reach your potential in increasingly ambiguous and complex strategic and system wide roles – and to take care of yourself and your team at the same time.
I can provide you with a safe and confidential partnership, supporting you to develop exceptional leadership and management qualities – so that you can transform health services and improve outcomes for whole populations. Where appropriate, I will draw on my own Board level medical and public health leadership career and my expertise in system leadership and managing people in order to scaffold your skills development through mentoring as well as coaching in our partnership.
Together, we will ensure that you:
- Understand your unique leadership development needs in order to set clear initial objectives for our coaching partnership
- Gain insight into your leadership strengths and any areas for development, using validated leadership 360′ and/ or self-assessment feedback processes
- Progress your horizontal leadership development through growing specific key skills and behaviours
- Gain the ability to lead in complexity – through partnership working, managing emotions, compassion and communication, from your values and your presence – through progressing your vertical leadership development
- Improve your work-life balance and wellbeing
- Feel confident to move forwards into the future
Leadership Coaching can also include any elements of Career Coaching as part of a mixed leadership and career coaching programme: all my coaching programmes are bespoke to your specific needs, with clear needs assessment and goal setting at the start of our relationship together.
An initial leadership coaching programme comprises a minimum of 6 x 90 minute sessions; sessions are typically 2-4 weeks apart. Following this, we can develop a bespoke longer term leadership development programme to support and stretch you over a longer period of time: many of my senior medical and public health clients work with me over a several year period as they navigate through highly complex and demanding leadership and career challenges.
Fiona brings a different perspective to the issues I am dealing with.
Fiona uses really effective exercises that energise me.
My sessions with Fiona have been productive, thought provoking and enjoyable.
All my coaching programmes include:
- Clear personal and professional goal setting at the start of your programme with mid-programme progress reviews; goals may be jointly agreed with your employer
- Bespoke evidence-based coaching interventions tailored to your specific needs and goals focusing on leadership development, wellbeing, and/or career development
- Every session includes: session goal setting; review of experiential learning between sessions; work on session goal(s); reflection and summary of insights from the session; identification of specific between-session actions
- Post-session email summary within 24 hours with self-directed learning materials to build theoretical knowledge and experiential learning
- Post-session reflection process in line with GMC/ FPH / FMLM requirements for reflective practice, and pre-session planning process to help you to make the most of each session
- Access to online client resources (wider reading, recommendations, podcasts etc)
- Between session support from Fiona by phone and email during office hours
- Online on Zoom or other platform of your choice

Are you looking for leadership training courses for doctors, leadership development for medics, or leadership development for Directors of Public Health?
My 1:1 bespoke leadership coaching programmes for General Practitioners (GPs), coaching for medical directors, leadership coaching for NHS consultants and healthcare clinical leaders, and coaching for DsPH are tailored to your specific learning needs. Coaching for doctors of medicine and public health leaders will have a sustained impact on your own leadership development as a physician, surgeon, public health leader, general practitioner leader, as well as impacting outcomes for patients, your colleagues, and wider populations and systems. I can also offer staff development and team coaching – these are organised via employers for a cohort of staff or a whole senior leadership team.
Coaching is the most effective form of medical leadership development and public health leadership development training available
While there are a number of leadership development training courses for doctors within medical CPD and public health leaders available, none of them address the personal self awareness needed to really flourish in your professional life as a senior public health or medical leader or medical manager at the depth or sustainability of 1:1 coaching. This depth of awareness and self regulation is at the heart of values based leadership for doctors and public health leaders, and underpins effective communication skill training, and leadership behaviours in the workplace.
While I do also offer courses and leadership skills training for physicians, surgeons, general practitioner and public health leaders for groups of staff, it is only through a high trust, high support 1:1 coaching partnership that I can really help you to develop the essential internal public health and medical leadership skills you will need to succeed in your medical leadership career or your public health career.
Adults learn best through experiential learning over time and all of my coaching and mentoring programmes for medic leadership development and public health leadership development are skill based, unique and bespoke to you and your personal and professional needs. All my coaching programmes are based on evidence based cognitive behavioural based training interventions and use adult development theory and leadership theory to enable you to develop a high level of skill in medical management and medical leadership for doctors of medicine, and your clinical healthcare and public health leadership skills now and into the future.
I also integrate mentoring approaches in my leadership development coaching programmes for doctors and public health leaders to teach new skills for your continuing professional development, advancing your level of skill within your medical speciality, surgical, general practitioner or public health specialty as a clinical leader of the future.
