Executive Coaching in Manchester with Sally Potter
Executive Coaching helps you to become the very best version of yourself, as a thinker, as a leader, as an action taker.
People seek coaching to resolve concerns, questions, issues or problems that arise in work, careers or business environments. Frequently, the pattern behind the problems, despite varying circumstances, occurs over and over again.
Executive coaching helps you to identify these issues and cycles, acknowledge that they exist, examine their origins, and then find a way to change your approach or reaction to them.
Coaching enables you to change the story and get a different result.
I met Sally on a psychology based leadership course over three years ago. At the time I had no idea of the profound impact this course would have not only on my career but my whole life. Sally is a gifted, supportive and competent facilitator. She is the best I have ever worked with.
Why Executive Coaching?
You may be seeking Executive Coaching to resolve any of the following common concerns:
- You feel you could achieve more in your career or business life
- You work alone and find it hard to remain focused on your business goals
- You find yourself in the same cycle with recurring issues, possibly around: finance; setting boundaries; meeting your own and others’ expectations ; putting commitment and priorities into practice. And you want to break the cycle now
- You are overwhelmed by the mountain of ‘to dos’ you face; others appear to manage theirs: why can’t you manage yours?
- You’re not sure what your next step should be
- You have a wealth of skills and talents but need focus and direction to put them to good use
There are many other reasons that people seek Executive Coaching. Contact me if you want to discuss whether Executive Coaching is right for you.
How can Executive Coaching help?
Working with Sally is like speaking to your closest friend but one who has the skills and ability to help you draw out the answer to whatever challenge you face. Sally helped me to clearly define my priorities and build my work and personal life around those rather than letting my preconceptions of what I should do, or what others wanted me to do, dictate how I live. I now love what I do, I have free time for the first time in years and my relationships are far less complicated.
Executive coaching keeps the focus on the future whilst reflecting on what has gone on in the past. This encourages systematic self-reflection and identification of ‘why we behave the way we do in a given situation. This allows us to explore how we can approach things from another direction and get a different result.
Through coaching you can expect to increase clarity in your thinking, purposefulness in your action and a gain in your confidence. These support the direction you choose to take in your life.
Executive Coaching connects or indeed re-connects you with your true self so you can identify what is right and works for you. It helps you structure goals and achieve a plan for improving your professional and personal life.
Working with someone who can see things from a different angle expands your focus on what is important and helps you gain clarity when discussing what really matters to you.

Sally Potter worked together with me to turn things around to an extent where I now feel relaxed, comfortable, re-assured and optimistic again. This has helped me regain business, stability to my organisation, and good working relationships.

Why Executive Coaching with Sally Potter?
Sally has tremendous capability and her temperament, patience and straightforwardness instil faith and confidence into a business leader to take on a bigger role. In my case Sally has worked a miracle. Now I sleep well, have time for the family and have regained the faith of the colleagues I love to work with.
I have a wealth of experience in coaching high-calibre senior executives and leadership teams from a broad range of sectors across the corporate world. My skill is in helping clients to build resilience, lead with integrity and authenticity and, crucially, to create the legacy of a positive corporate culture.
I often work with people whose personal confidence has yet to catch up with their accelerated professional success and I help them to grow both simultaneously.
In executive coaching and mentoring, I draw on a number of potent techniques, models and sources in which I am an experienced and accredited coach and trainer. My expertise includes an orientation which enables clients to explore prevailing attitudes to self and others arising from experiences in early life.
My approach when working either one-to-one or with your team addresses:-
- unrealised potential. Consider the possibility that you currently are living only a fraction of your true potential. I help you access the fullness of your so-far unlived life.
- interacting with others. We are clearly not all the same. We respond differently to each other and to events around us. These very differences can become a rich source of self- discovery. My coaching programmes provide a road-map to navigate these differences to ensure that your authentic inner being .
- the body-mind approach. Do you realise it is possible to determine someone’s approach to personal relationships by attuning to and reading specific practical cues? I help you learn to acquire subtle advantages to managing others with grace and dexterity.
My coaching methodology supports clients to become authors of their own success stories: guiding them in analysing their behaviour, interrogating their motives and shaping their individual plans for change.
Workshops with leadership groups often explore real-life case-studies where appropriate.
