"Real behavioural change requires a level of self-insight, courage and vulnerability to practice new behaviours that is daunting. The discipline is one of honest self-assessment coupled with authentic dialogue. When this inner work of leadership is connected to a larger organisational imperative the resulting mix can be wondrously potent." Dan Holden
what's your work Alastair, what do you do?
I believe that development (of self, of leadership, of team and of group effectiveness) starts with increased awareness and insight, understanding the power of our thinking and the choices that we can make. From that place there are no boundaries to possibility, and to the development and transformation that can be realised. I consider myself 'a work in progress' and I find that relating from this place attracts clients - they see that we are all learning, developing and evolving, and they have a greater sense of what's possible. I work with people, and teams and groups, to help them discover and have a greater sense of who they are and what they can become. These are essentials for effective self and organisational leadership.
"... we have a shared belief that one of the greatest forms of service to people is to see their essential selves - that somehow through my seeing that, they experience more of themselves"

It was a powerful and important day, that has inspired us to attack our core vision of a world class family of schools with renewed vigour and focus. I would like to record my sincere thanks to Alastair Kidd.

The workshops and work Alastair has done so far have been great and in fact exceed expectations. Really enjoyed by the team, and helped me and the team reframed our thinking.

Your probing questions and sensitivity yesterday had a powerful effect on me. Most importantly though, there seems to have been a change of mood amongst the team. I think your coaching unblocked something.

I came back feeling unsettled after our meeting- (I hasten to add in a very good way)- like the dream had been awoken again and some fire put back in and a path coming into view.

Aa great job facilitating the day, a master-class in how to run a meeting with everyone given time and space to express their views, each of equal importance.

This coaching has been most valuable to me, the best personal learning I’ve undertaken. I would highly recommend Alastair as an Executive Coach, he certainly helps you to bring fresh thinking to your beliefs and attitudes.

Very Satisfied. Helped me to stretch boundaries, open imagination and took me outside my comfort zone. I really utilised this in my business after coaching. I perform now with greater clarity of mind, and I am better equipped to be a more courageous and wiser leader.

Thanks, and praise! … I don't know how you did it but from the moment we met I knew you would … our governance day exceeded all expectations: it was wonderful for everyone to take of our hats and speak person to person … the day had enabled everyone to be heard, explore some complex realities, and together look forward to the next steps … all informal feedback remains very positive … I don't think it's a coincidence that Board meetings are more productive.
