I enable clients to think more deeply and unlock their own potential – either as individuals or as a team.

Liz Whitfield - Growth Plans®

My role is as an enabler.  I help business leaders gain clarity over their challenges and view them from all angles; identify options; explore tools and techniques; and create momentum to move forward.  In this way, I act as a catalyst to their thinking – taking them from ‘stuck’ to ‘action and progress’.

What sets me apart from other coaches is my professional background.  I received rigorous training as a Chartered Accountant and performed numerous audits before specialising in Corporate Finance where I advised on M&A activity and Management Buy-Outs in particular.  What energised me most was the passion and ambition of the directors and management teams and I understood that this human element was the essential ingredient to success.  As a coach, I am able to support my clients with their leadership challenges whilst understanding their business.

Through my experience as a Non-Executive Director myself, I understand Boardroom dynamics and the information required and reviewed at this level.

In other words, I am someone that leaders can talk to. I understand the person, the team and the business and create a safe space for all to overcome challenges, and to grow and thrive.

To provide the best support to my clients I am committed to my own continuous improvement plan and undertake new training each year.  I have trained in different disciplines in the coaching arena and worked with leaders in their fields of neuroscience; NLP; Clean Language; Time to Think; Thinking Hats; Challenging Coaching, The 5 Behaviours and more.

My clients all have something in common… they want to become better leaders; they want to lead highly effective teams; and they want their businesses to flourish.

If you’d like to discover different perspectives, fresh thinking, new options, more tools, inspiring techniques and unlock your potential, then I am here to help.

I provide support for you, support for your team and support for your business.

I love helping people find that light bulb moment. When clients are stuck with a problem, it’s difficult to see the wood for the trees.. By providing clarity over the issues, I then guide clients to the outcome stage, helping them see the options and possibilities.

Who do Growth Plans® work with?

By working with Growth Plans® we are not just talking and learning theory; we are actually going to invest time and focus to make things happen, because when you do that, transformation can begin.

Typically, our clients are directors of businesses with 40-300 employees.

At that size the business is well established; there is a critical mass and there are structures in place but they all experience the inevitable challenges of HR issues, growing the business and managing stakeholders.

Does this resonate with you?

Working with Growth Plans®

As a Chartered Accountant and qualified business coach, I can work with you on both the hard stuff (numbers and strategy) and the (allegedly!) soft stuff – leadership and motivation. I am licenced to use psychometric profiling tools to help teams become more effective, innovative and productive.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your full potential.
