Jo Beckett Coaching & Development

Empowering senior leaders and their teams to be resilient, think strategically, and work with purpose.

It’s so easy to focus on the operational needs of your organisation, working harder and longer, asking more of yourself and of your team. But how sustainable is this in the longer term and what about the bigger picture?

I work with leaders and their teams in three key areas:
1

Development

When it comes to income generation and fundraising, organisations need a long-term strategy and a high performing team to succeed. 
My development coaching and workshops help individuals and teams to focus on their strengths and work collaboratively to build relationships to achieve positive change. 
2

Performance

High performing professionals need to think strategically, be motivated and work with purpose. 
My executive coaching programmes and workshops help individuals and teams re-focus on the bigger picture, break down challenges into achievable steps so that they have a clear road map and a sharper focus to achieve what matters most.
3

Resilience

Resilience isn't inherent - it's a skill we learn and develop.
Work can be all consuming - we work harder and longer and ask more of ourselves and our teams. Even the most experienced professionals can have their resilience tested.
My executive coaching programmes and workshops equip you with the tools you need to enhance your resilience and emotional health.  
“Initially I was cynical and slightly uncomfortable with the concept [of executive coaching] however I soon realised that I valued my time with Jo. She helped me to de-clutter and crystallise my thinking in a nurturing and yet challenging way. The issues I brought to coaching were often strategic, but at other times it was important to use the space to focus on the operational. In a relatively short space of time, I was able to work through an often complex and difficult scenario, emerging with a clear pathway and plan."

Who are my clients?

I don’t believe in stereotypes. Everyone I meet brings their own story and unique context. The work we do together is personalised, so that it is directly relevant to an individual situation and can be applied in practice to have immediate impact.

I work with CEOs, Heads, Deputy Heads, COOs, Bursars, Commercial Directors and Heads of Department, as well as the teams they lead. They share a desire to:

  • grow income
  • develop their people
  • find practical answers to the challenges they face
  • progress important goals
  • make their vision a reality.

They may be responsible for delivering an ambitious development plan and seeking to re-evaluate, re-frame and re-focus.

“Jo, I cannot tell you how useful this coaching programme has been. At an organisational level, ISBA is now more coherent and united in pursuit of its goals. The feeling of common purpose, output, and pride in the achievements of the organisation has seen a marked and positive difference.”

Chief Operating Officer, ISBA

Development: income generation, engagement and fundraising

Many organisations face an urgent need to generate more income. They also want to develop a long-term strategy.

In my experience, income generation is a natural outcome of good relationships and stakeholder engagement. I am a specialist in income generation and a qualified executive coach, and I draw on years of experience to help leaders to:

  • develop a personalised strategic foundation to lead income generation
  • recruit and grow a high performing development team
  • build meaningful relationships with the right people – the key to generating income.

I help you find solutions that are right for you. By sharing approaches that have worked in practice, we magnify the impact of your ideas to make your strategy robust and watertight.

Performance:  focusing on your strengths

Your personal strengths and unique context will always drive the programme I develop for you.

You will take away new perspectives, insights and practical steps that you can put into place to make an immediate impact. 

Together we will scope opportunities and find solutions to challenges enabling you to move forward with a purposeful plan.

My approach is based on best practice, positive psychology and focuses on solutions.

What does this mean? I help people and organisations focus on their strengths and what they do well.

I help people and organisations focus on their strengths to:

  • bring their vision to life
  • create meaningful strategy
  • find the right people to help deliver your vision
  • get the best from the people that work with you.

I provide a confidential space and objective sounding board so that you can reflect and think clearly about what matters most.

I help you explore alternative perspectives so that you can tap into your resources and identify practical steps to move forward.

What sets the highest performers apart is that they learn from their experience. My coaching programmes are designed to provide a reflective platform to build on your strengths, tap into your strategic thinking and bolster your resilience, so that you have the clarity, confidence, and energy to focus on what matters.

“Even as an experienced development professional I was surprised how much I benefited – it gave me the opportunity to take a moment, reflect, share challenges in a confidential discussion and find solutions that were not obvious. I was able to make positive changes both immediate and longer term.”

Director of Development, St George’s Weybridge
