Coaching is a powerful two-way communication that shifts perceptions, creates awareness, explores alternatives, inspires change, and releases potential.

At Howardco we help our clients solve the challenges of business and professional growth while developing sustainable, high-performance cultures. Coaching can add significantly to business and individual performance when facilitated by a tailored, yet structured and goal-focused approach. At Howardco we have been providing executive and leadership coaching for over ten years. It is something we love doing because of the satisfaction we get from seeing our clients grow their businesses and achieve their goals.

Why Executive Coaching?

Executives are under increasing pressure to deliver bigger and better results, to lead their organisations through complex and ambiguous change. They are expected to anticipate the needs of customers, manage remote teams, secure competitive advantage and, do it all better, cheaper and faster than before.

What is Executive Coaching?

Executive coaching drives a culture of high engagement and positively focused leadership and teamwork throughout the organisation. The process itself enables individuals to step back from the routines of daily activity and identify new solutions to current problems or challenges.

Client feedback

“Working with Warren has given us true perspective in our business. He has constantly challenged us to think strategically and has kept us motivated and inspired throughout a global pandemic when so many small businesses struggled. His coaching style combines genuine warmth and interest with a fantastic ability to quickly understand the business as a whole and identify the areas that need attention to maximise opportunities. Warren instinctively knows the right questions to ask and the best way to help us find clarity and purpose, while keeping us accountable for decision making within our own business. We highly recommend Warren and Howardco and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

Suze Raymond. Founder and Director, WORKS Living 

“Warren is a friendly, wise, tenacious and insightful coach. The work we did with DiSC was incredibly eye-opening and accurate, and Warren remains a trusted and enthusiastic advisor who I would be happy to recommend to anyone. Equally I recommend the DiSC process itself to people wanting to hone their leadership skills and foster positive change.”

Jane Libbis, Holistic Collaborative Family Lawyer, Umbrella Family law

“Over the last two weeks I have asked Warren Howard to run a process of outlining various personality types leading into a discussion of team members’ profiles and ways in which we can work better with ourselves and others. My team both enjoyed and appreciated the sessions beyond my hopes and expectations.  We look forward to Warren running a follow on workshop in future.”

Alex Stewart, Director, Maggs Reid Stewart, Tax and Business Advisors

“I have recently started working with Warren to better understand my leadership style and identify my strengths and areas that I can develop. Warren has an adaptable approach with his clients. I am now able to better understand my leadership style and have practical tools that I can apply to my leadership roles in the future. I highly recommend Warren as a coach particularly in situations where personalities affect performance.”

Stephen Read, Principal Designer, Stephen Read Landscape Designs

“The team at Howardco provides an extremely tailored experience, which means that I was able to work on skills that were highly specific to my role as well as my AgileEQô profile. My coach, Lauren, not only provided me with effective and practical tools to grow in my professional role, but checked up between sessions and was always readily available to give me advice. I felt very well-supported by both my coach and the wider Howardco team throughout the whole experience.”
