She gave me new tools and techniques, and became a sounding board for me to transcend to the next level of leader I needed to rapidly become.

Leader As Great Coach

“This amazing program helped me recognize how the conversations we are having today could significantly improve. I now see the importance of using flexible style-coaching and based on each employee’s situation and need. The experience inspired me to want to be a Great Leader Coach and helped me get there!”

-Senior Leader, eBay

“In today’s connected world, I believe physical presence in a learning situation is less and less required. This belief was fully supported by my recent Leader Coach journey experience with remote coaching with Maik from the Churchill group. The sessions were highly engaging and I left the training with a renewed appreciation of the coaching mindset and with pockets full of new skills. I would highly recommend considering remote coaching training if your training needs include this particular topic but your location does not render itself for face to face sessions.”

-Anna, Senior Manager eBay

It will help me prepare for challenging conversations so that our conversations take a “We” approach versus an “I” outcome. A great start in the journey of learning about Conversational Intelligence!”

“It’s been a wonderful journey of professional and personal growth working with my Churchill Executive Coach. I have been working with her for the past 3 years in my current role as Executive Director of North American Regional Supply for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. She has helped me genuinely understand and identify my strengths, those things I am naturally better at, and apply these in a professional setting with outstanding results. Our sessions are action packed and to the point. She is a superb listener and quickly grasps the current challenge I am working on. Regardless of how frustrated I may be, Her calm and upbeat coaching provides a positive assurance and instant clarity on a better approach or solution. I highly recommend the Churchill team of executive coaches; you will not find a better executive coach or company to work with in this area. Your Churchill Coach will not only make you a better professional, they make you a better person.”

Team Performance

“We had dinner with the team after our 1 day MBTI workshop and the workshop kept us busy the whole evening! It was a lot of fun for everyone and I think that each of them took something with them personally. I myself am currently mentally linking coaching topics that I have with the individual MBTI types and will consider how I can best use them. Thank you Churchill!”

-S Marks, Head of DE Loyalty & Logistics Operations, eBay GmbH – MBTI Workshop

“We learned how to lean on teammates for their strengths, ask for help in more meaningful ways and engage more in meetings to drive value.

“The most valuable part of the workshop was learning about the trust model and how to improve your communication skills with customers and managers. Understanding the different levels you can have in a conversation and understanding people’s strengths and how to work with them collaboratively. Offered me great tools that I can utilise in both work and home life to have great conversations.”

-Leader, MyHR, eBay – Churchill’s Conversational Intelligence® Workshop

“I loved learning more about my talents (strengths) and that they are integral to my success if developed and utilized. As well as seeing the various strengths of the team members I work with every day. The best part for me was the accuracy and relative simplicity of the Strengths Finder tool itself. I will research my strengths to learn more about them to continue to benefit from them.
