Welcome to SL Cooper Career and Leadership Coaching
I am an experienced medical doctor and qualified coach, now working full time as a coach for individuals and teams, within healthcare and beyond.
I combine my understanding and experience of working in leadership in high stress complex systems in the NHS, with my knowledge and skills in coaching. This equips me to help others to define and achieve their goals for personal and professional development.
Coaching could help you to:
Unlock your potential, build confidence
Live in alignment with your values and true purpose
Develop assertiveness
Strengthen communication skills
Dismantle limiting self beliefs (imposter syndrome)
Reclaim and maximise your time
Manage stress and avoid burnout
Coaching Services
Individual Coaching
A series of conversations between myself (the coach) and the client during which you can decide what you would like to change or work on to solve a problem or reach a development goal to benefit you in or outside of work (actually usually both).
Team Coaching
What is team coaching?
‘A Process by which a team coach works with a whole team, when they are together and when they are apart, to help them improve their collective performance, their ways of working together, their collective leadership and their relationships with their stakeholder groups, to jointly transform the wider business’. (Peter Hawkins 2022)
I use the Barefoot Coaching 4D approach; Discover - Design - Deliver - Debrief, to create structured coaching programmes for teams.
Team Development Workshops
I am an experienced trainer and facilitator, having directed various multidisciplinary team courses throughout my medical career.
I am happy to work with you to deliver bespoke evidence based team building and development workshops using sound coaching theory and principles.
Wellbeing Workshops for Teams or Staff Groups
Many of the theories and strategies offered to clients during individual coaching, can also be introduced to groups or teams during workshops aimed at providing practical valuable support for staff working in high pressure systems who may be at risk of adverse impacts of workplace stress to their health and wellbeing.
