Below are my Executive, Career, Wellbeing / Wellness Coaching services for Individuals and Teams I provide for companies as well as my Outplacement and Redundancy Support service which I provide to both companies and individuals (scroll down or see my pricing page). Prices for Individuals include VAT and for Corporate are +VAT.

If you are an individual currently going through a redundancy process you are perfectly within your rights to tell your company that you intend to use your OWN outplacement coach; Even if they have a preferred outplacement supplier. Especially if it means you get a better personalised service and MORE Face to Face sessions. It does not impact the company who they pay any way. So, why would they want you to have a lesser service and less sessions? That would just be mean.

Outplacement / Redundancy Coaching

For the Employer

The decision has been made. There is nothing anyone can do about that. It is what you do next for your soon to be ex-colleagues that counts. What is important for the employer is the welfare, well being and mental health of their colleagues during this incredibly difficult situation. This is especially important in a world where ESG is increasingly becoming more important and businesses are judged and scrutinised on many traits other than simply generating revenues and profits such as the treatment of staff and soon to be ex-staff. This is your chance to give your friends, your soon to be ex-colleagues, the best opportunity to help them find a new role in another company. This is important because everyone is affected negatively by redundancies, those being made redundant and those who are not. The atmosphere is always extremely negative and even toxic where everyone resents the management. Management circle the wagons and drip feed information while they tackle with employment law which staff interpret as deeply insensitive. 

However, if you look after your staff and provide an elegant exit this says so much about a management who clearly cares and the quality of the employer. The reputation of the company is at stake here. Your ex-colleagues will talk about the company going forward and view it in a more positive light. You do not want a bad reputation for mistreating staff. That impacts revenues and profits. People I work with who have been supported by their company providing outplacement coaching tell me they feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with me. They have not been set adrift to fend for themselves. They have been given a paddle to steer and a map to follow in order to secure the next role. This is what I do. I care about every single one of my clients and I promise I will look after your colleagues for you and give them the best outplacement coaching available. They will absolutely move on to bigger and better things and the redundancy will be remembered as a transition and not a trauma.

For the Employee

I am really sorry this has happened you, however, you need to know that You Can Do Great Things! Many companies are prepared to pay for outplacement coaching and it is critical you take advantage of it so that you can recover from this trauma as quickly as possible, move on and get back to work. That said, companies typically have contracts with large outplacement firms that will treat you like a number and put you on a conveyor belt process so everyone can tick the box. These outplacement firms work for the company and not for you. It is important that you insist on your own outplacement coaching service. I have seen people who have had 10 hours+ outplacement coaching already provided by their company and yet when I see them there is still so much to do. That is just wrong. 

Big is NOT Better!

You may think a larger outplacement firm is better because size is a measure of success right? Wrong. The reality is that there is no difference between choosing me as your Outplacement Coach and a larger firm other than the higher quality outplacement coaching experience you would receive from me. For a start, working with me will mean you receive more face to face sessions and that they are fully bespoke to meet your needs. Everyone is DIFFERENT! I would also highlight that I continue to work with my outplacement coaching clients well beyond the initial outplacement coaching transaction in an Executive or Career Coaching capacity. This is a long term relationship unlike with larger outplacement firms that lead you to a dead end after you have used your sessions and cut you loose. This is like being set adrift to fend for yourself all over again! You will still be able to work with me well beyond your outplacement transaction if it takes you longer to find the role you really want. My clients really appreciate the fact that they can continue their conversations and work with someone who already knows them really well. For example, after my clients get a new role my Planning your first 90 Days (Executive Coaching) session is very popular and provides a seamless transition from outplacement coaching into creating maximum impact in the new role straight off the bat. Alternatively, a client may require more of my Mastering Interview Masterclass sessions so that they really nail the interviews. It could be anything. The point is I am here during the outplacement coaching and after! I would also add that any sessions left over after you find new employment are yours to keep forever and can be cashed in against future Career, Executive, Interview or Outplacement coaching whenever you want (lifetime guarantee!). 

A larger firm will have a generic one size fits all format with little room for flex or customization and also has higher fixed costs since more people need to get into the team photo. This all means you receive a lessor service. Furthermore, with many larger firms you will be assigned a sub-contracted coach who is not even a full time employee (they will not tell you this so as not to burst the bubble). You could contact any of those coaches displayed on the ‘Meet the Team’ page directly via Google and cut out the middle man. It is that coach you will be working with for the duration of your outplacement coaching. You will have little or zero contact with the larger firm after signing up. Why would you? You will be working with one person, your assigned coach. So, if you are going to be working with one person anyway… make sure it is the best Executive Career Coach.

The Outplacement Companies’ Conveyor Belts

The difference between my outplacement coaching and larger companies is that I believe in face to face sessions. It has to be that way. This is how you come to terms with redundancy and we prepare you for your next role. So called outplacement companies’ portals that simply have a load of embedded Youtube videos showing you how to write a CV or prepare for an interview etc are a complete waste of time. Most people watch those in their pyjamas while drinking a coffee in the morning. Completely pointless. You will achieve more in a 90 minute coaching session than you ever could watching Youtube for a year. They are not personal to you. They do not consider your situation. You are on a conveyor belt and you do not even know it. This is simply a cheap way to push people along the outplacement companies’ conveyor belts as quickly as possible and get you off their books.

You are not a number and I am going to treat you like a human being. And, then you are going to get another job!

Networking is Notworking

Larger outplacement firms will tell you they have networks you can join as a reason to sign up with them for outplacement services. In fact I remain sceptical about the value of this as part of a coaching offering, as the power of any network is dependent upon the quality and relevance of the connections within it. It is my experience that such networks often contain more people looking for jobs than hiring, of course, if there is data to show otherwise (i.e. a positive correlation) then I am happy to stand corrected(!) I advocate clients build their network organically – focusing on building quality rather than quantity of connections. You will need to decide whether hanging out with other people also looking for a job is more important to you than going with the best Executive Career Coach. If you want to join a network then do an Executive MBA.

You still need structure, but, don’t forget to enjoy life!

Career coaching adds structure and stability after a traumatic experience. By having coaching sessions you can relax in between knowing you are doing the right thing. Now you are redundant it is important to maintain a structure, but, also to ensure you have some quality me time while you recover. Go to the gym or take up that hobby you always wanted to knowing that you have the job thing covered with regular career coaching sessions. We will absolutely get you back to work. There is no point beating yourself up daily until then especially as potential recruiters will pick up on that negativity. 

As your Executive Career Coach, I am here to help you to navigate the challenges of redundancy and to recognise that the short-term disruption to your life is just that… short term.

Executive WellBeing / Wellness Coaching

I also offer an in-house resident executive coach service for organisations coaching executives, at all levels, working with the organisation ensuring the outcomes and deliverables are aligned with both the individual’s and organisation’s own goals.

Organisations hire my Coaching services so their executives may benefit from the advantages of working with an external coach. For example, with many years’ business experience I am regarded as a peer, someone who not only understands the business context, but also the many challenges encountered from my own professional experience.  This creates a trusted environment were the client can speak freely, explore options and make decisions, resulting in more impactful outcomes for the individual and their organisation. 

Like my private practice, my work with organisations is flexible and transparent, this means I am able to quickly assist all your executive coaching needs personally and directly – delivering services when, where and how required with minimal administration. As a result, you save both time and money by working directly with me and enjoy the benefits of a long-term business relationship. What is more, my location at 35 New Broad Street, EC2M 1NH, makes my services even more accessible for those working in and around the City of London.

I deliver coaching services to executives on behalf of organisations, to:

• Support new and emerging leaders as they transition into leadership and senior leadership position
• Help manage complex stakeholder relationships
• Work with individuals on key areas of challenge, such as building confidence and enhancing communication skills
• Support the on-boarding of mid/senior executives as they tackle their first 90 days
• To assist during the restructuring of teams
• Support returning to work after maternity leave
• Support an Executive moving to an overseas role
• For those exiting the organisation, I provide bespoke outplacement career and executive coaching support tailored for each individual (as opposed to a generic off the shelf solution)
• Lumina Spark Psychometric Testing

Lumina Spark Psychometric Analysis

Lumina Spark is the next generation of professional development tools supporting individuals, teams and organisations to work more effectively and improve the bottom line. It is unique amongst psychometric tools because it avoids any stereotyping. It provides a highly interactive colourful framework for better self-understanding and helps people identify how to improve their working relationships with others. By applying the Lumina Spark model, learners unlock multiple business benefits. 

The Lumina Spark is based on the latest Big 5 research paradigm and can also be viewed through the Jungian lens. It does not report on anything that is not specifically measured. Lumina Spark consists of 10 measures and therefore offers a richer interpretation of your personality, preferences and traits compared to other traditional measures (see below) such as Big 5/OCEAN tools which include the NEO and Insights. Tools like Myers-Briggs (MBTI) are dated and put you in a box which is incredibly limiting. For example, Myers-Briggs may tell you are introverted and therefore you are boxed in as an introvert. In reality, you may only be an introvert 60% of the time and, in fact, an extrovert the rest. However, the extrovert in you is lost and you are labelled an introvert and so you walk around telling yourself and everyone else you are an introvert. That is why I work with Lumina because it provides insight without putting you in a box and, with reference to the three personas, it offers a holistic analysis. I was trained at Henley Business School.

The benefits of Lumina Spark vs older dated models: 

Jungian – 4 measures: Intuition or Sensing / Judging or Perceiving / Introversion or Extroversion / Feeling or Thinking

Big 5/OCEAN – 5 measures: Open to Experience / Conscientious / Extraversion / Agreeableness / Neuroticism

Lumina Spark – 10 measures: Big Picture Thinking and Down to Earth / Discipline Driven and Inspiration Driven / Extroverted and Introverted / People Focused and Outcome Focused / Risk Reactor and Reward Reactor

Working with me means you will also get access to your Lumina Spark profile via the excellent iPhone or Android app so that you can always instantly reference it.

Coaching Teams – Building a High-Performance Team

“It feels like it’s all running very smoothly now, without much input needed from my side – thank you! “

The aim of this workshop is to deliver knowledge and understanding of the six attributes of a high-performing team. Over three 3.5 hours sessions we will cover all six attributes and build a high-performance team!

1. Clear identity and purpose
2. Establishing Clearly defined principles of working
3. Openness to conflict
4. Trust

• Session length: 3.5 hours
• Price: £175 per individual  (Price includes all materials and pre-session communications)

A team needs to be well balanced and then everyone can play to their strengths and the result is a high performance team that delivers results. A team weighted too much towards a small number of traits will NEVER be as effective and the capacity for conflict is very high and that risks damaging the team’s overall performance and wellbeing.

Agenda:

1. Welcome and Introductions
2. Warm-up exercise
3. Building High Performance
4. Individual Values Exercise
5. Team Values Exercise
6. Your Company Values in Action: Delivering Impact

Young and Aspiring Leaders Management and Leadership Development (Individual Coaching)

Management of Generation Z / Millennials

The entitlement culture of Generation Z and even some Millennials is a great frustration for senior management. Generation Z has to have it all. They have been told their whole life how great they are. If you point out a weakness they are insulted and run straight to social media. They have also not had to compete since competition was removed from the school curriculum. Consequently, they come ill-equipped into the work environment expecting fast pay rises and promotion without putting the work in (in senior management’s view). Even HR appraisals are now designed not to hurt feelings and so management end up walking on eggs shells. 

• Understanding and Managing Generation Z / Millennials – key issues and action identification 1 x 90 minute session (Price @  £300 + VAT)
• Follow-up and Trouble Shooting – 1 x 90 minute session (Price @ £300 + VAT)

Coaching Teams – Accountability

An HR Director contacted me seeking a session to increase accountability from her team, individually and collectively. Working in partnership with the HR Director I developed a bespoke workshop, giving her the opportunity to raise and discuss this important topic with her staff. The workshop consisted of:

•  A pre-session individual diagnostic 
• An interactive workshop on the topic of individual and team accountability
• Group work planning how greater accountability will be achieved
• Facilitated discussion re: strengths and blockers
• Making commitments
• Post-session follow-up / reflection exercise

Bringing together my expertise in learning design and coaching, sessions such as this are carefully crafted to ensure objectives are met. For more information about how I can work with you to help your team improve performance please get in touch.

Brand / B2B and Direct Marketing Consultant

I also act in the capacity of a marketing consultant. You can also take advantage of my significant marketing skills and experience.

• Entrepreneurs Marketing: I run marketing clinics for entrepreneurs. I love working with entrepreneurs. Their enthusiasm is infectious, the positive attitude brilliant and their ideas great. However, marketing always seems to be the skill they are lacking the most and yet it is the most important. That is if you want to generate maximum revenues.
• Marketing Consultant: If you need something done fast you can parachute me in and I will execute the task with maximum efficiency.
• Marketing Trouble Shooter: That said, trouble shooting is really my speciality… this is where I get to develop and apply strategy (something I also love doing). I have come across so many marketing departments that just refuse to change and evolve and continue to do the same thing as “that’s the way it has always been done“. Consequently, there is typically either no staff turnover (bad) or 100% turnover (also bad) and young marketeers leaving the industry dejected, the latter, which really annoys me as someone who teaches marketing to undergraduates at Birkbeck, University of London. That just throttles the business, impacts revenues, stifles innovation and just gets the rest of the stakeholders’ backs up.

However, I can only help companies who want to help themselves and if you are prepared to do that then hire me. If not, please don’t. I have had my fill of companies who say they want to change, I land and I discover that change is the LAST thing they want to do. So, if you have got this far and have a particular marketing challenge or requirement then give me a call and we can have a chat.

Customised Learning Solutions

Transparent, flexible and impactful learning solutions may be designed in collaboration with corporate partners. We begin by diagnosing the knowledge or skills gap and then work together to develop learning objectives. Learning solutions are designed and delivered to meet your objectives, fully customised to your organisational culture and practice.

The benefits of customised learning solutions include:

• Enhanced individual & team performance
• Acquisition and application of new knowledge & skills to drive innovation
• Improved efficiency and effectiveness across organisation

My Approach…. Experience, Reflection, and Action!

Embedded into the design and delivery of customised learning solutions is a distinctive and practical approach, centred on the learner. At the heart of this approach are three main elements Experience, Reflection, and Action! A pre-learning focus on Context and post-learning emphasis on Evaluation completes the five-step method* used, as outlined below:

Context – pre-programme, learning is designed to take into consideration the needs of the individual, their environment, background and organisational context.

Experience – during the programme, learners are encouraged to actively engage by bringing their prior knowledge, skills and experience into the teaching and learning process.

Reflection – key to this approach, learners are encouraged to become more reflective, so they more deeply understand what they have learned and the implications of this knowledge for their organisation and individual professional practice.

Action – during the programme, learners are moved beyond knowledge to action, their commitment to deciding their next steps and moving forward is a key part of the learning process.

Evaluation – post-programme, outcomes are evaluated at key intervals to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the learning upon the individual, their organisation and others.

Drawing upon my extensive experience in higher and executive education, I design and deliver innovative, inspiring and impactful learning solutions. For more information enquire today at enquiries@nicolasimpson.coach
