Organisations - Cultures of Confidence
Commercial success is never going to happen in our comfort zones, it depends on a growing momentum of people stepping into their stretch zones.
Confidence is contagious and as people step up, they inspire others to step up, creating a culture of confidence, which leaks out throughout the organisation and customer experience!
Pressure in Organisations
In organisations …
cultures of confidence …
don’t happen by accident.
EVERYONE has a Stretch Zone
We all have a stretch zone where our confidence can:
Hold us back so you achieve less than our potential
Feel like hard work, draining our energy and impact
Come and go, disappearing when we need it most
Undermine creative ideas that never come to fruition
Trigger overdone caution, so opportunities pass us by
Sap our passion and enthusiasm, demotivating us
Leave us questioning ourselves and our potential
That people need help with confidence doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with them… it only means they’re human… and it is a positive sign that they are stretching themselves outside their comfort zones… a good thing!!
What are Your Stretch Zones?
Our stretch zones are …
different for different people …
… and tend to change over time!!

Client Feedback
-
‘It was as if a light went on. And I now have the proof that I am as capable as anyone and can manage some really strong personalities. I wish I had done this ten years ago.’
-
‘Glenn exudes the confidence that he talks, coaches and teaches about, in a way that is authentic, honest and rare in the age of bigger and bolder.’

‘What a ‘light bulb’ moment! The stretch zone coaching has helped me to better understand the effect I have on myself, giving me so much more control. It feels like I have made a real connection within.’
Target Groups
Whether it is leadership, talent, sales, service, change, decisions, difficult conversations, relationships, speaking up, selling yourself, saying ‘no’, saying ‘yes’, presentations, meetings, networking, conflict, teamwork or seizing opportunities – EVERYONE has a stretch zone and the capacity to deliver results under pressure sets us up for success.
Executive & Senior Leaders
Where delivering against strategic priorities means high stakes, relentless pressure and unforgiving exposure – especially for new talent stepping into the executive space.
Middle & Junior Managers
Where delivering results at pace through people and operations brings pressures and challenges to influence and deliver up, down and across the line.
Talent, Graduates & Specialists
Where every opportunity to being fast-tracked as talent brings more pressure to step outside our comfort zones and deliver results under pressure.
Expert to Leader
Where technical experts step away from their area of expertise (and comfort) and lead people and projects – an unfamiliar context with pressure and exposure.
Consulting, Sales & Service
Where results and relationships matter and being at our best and achieving stretch targets while building great relationships under pressure is essential.
Teamwork & Culture Change
Where challenging times demand high-performance cultures across teams and organisations – that deliver sustainable results under pressure.
Return on Investment
Confidence, and the presence and impact it brings, is already there, in your organisation, you’re already paying for it.
Yet as people hold themselves back, your organisation is not getting a return on your existing investment.
And more training isn’t going to change anything … it’s about confidence under pressure!!
ROI – The impact of a culture of confidence on the bottom line speaks for itself and this is as much about what people stop doing as it is about what people start doing.
