Case Study

CLIENT: CFO 

THE NEED: The Finance Director had recently moved into role and had received feedback about his gravitas and confidence in meetings with peers, partners, investors and customers. Whilst he was strong technically, he didn’t put across his knowledge and perspective in an effective way and this reduced the confidence in his ideas and opinions.

RESULT: Andi partnered with the CFO to determine what the specific facets of executive presence and gravitas needed to be worked on. These were structured into separate coaching conversations and over a five month period the CFO gained confidence and techniques to better engage with a range of internal and external stakeholders. This has in itself accelerated growth of the business as more trust and goodwill has been developed.
