For senior leaders, moving through complexity with perspective, compassion and clarity.
Vivid Future Executive Coaching & Supervision
Services
For leaders stepping up into larger leadership roles, leading organisational change or seeking to maximise their impact while maintaining sustainable performance.
The senior leaders I encounter are typically stretched and don’t have the time or headspace to take a step back and look differently and kindly upon their world, in order to move forwards.
They may have been promoted, or encouraged to ‘step up’, needing a different mindset, approach or skills, and confidence. Perhaps they are stuck in the same repeating pattern, maybe they need a confidential thinking partner to problem-solve with, or indeed all of the above.
In the coaching room, we create the time to look more objectively at the task ahead. We gain new perspectives, making sense of what you experience and have some honest but also kind conversations, encouraging you to tap into resources you are not paying attention to, and to consider not just what you are doing with your teams but importantly, how you are doing it and what impact it’s having.
The coaching is practical, relevant to organisational life and grounded in evidence-based practice.
A typical programme is 8 sessions but engagements are designed with you and your organisation in mind, held in person, online or on the move.
Executive coaching for senior leaders
Leadership & team development isn’t there to tell you what you do know, there are there to highlight what you don’t.
Our sessions promote new ways of addressing ‘stuckness’ and complexity, creating an environment to find fresh perspectives on old problems or exciting new propositions. Leaning on systemic constellations and team coaching principles, we look at the dynamics that emerge between leaders, those which are to be valued and those that are getting in the way.
This isn’t training, it’s flexing the reflexive muscle, looking at yourselves with honesty and humility, designed & delivered to be engaging, practical & relevant, bespoke to your organisation.
Leadership & team development
In supervision, coaches are invited into a safe space to reflect on their work and stretch their coaching practice in service of the client, their system and the coach themselves. Whether coaches need a place to restore, to be challenged and develop, or to look in the ethical mirror, supervision balances these different needs.
Sessions are offered online, and a 4 session commitment is recommended.
Coach supervision
Caroline Duncan, Executive Coach, Coach Supervisor
I have over 20 years’ commercial experience and more than 15 years coaching senior leaders across a range of sectors. I typically work with clients who are stepping into larger leadership roles, leading organisational change or seeking to maximise their impact while maintaining sustainable performance.
Before becoming a full-time coach, I built my career in finance, strategy and HR with KPMG, Hilton and Diageo, giving me first-hand experience of leading within complex, fast-moving organisations. Today I coach senior leaders across sectors including data, financial services, retail and life sciences, helping clients build confidence, navigate change and lead high-performing teams.
I have particular expertise in leadership transitions, executive impact and supporting leaders to balance performance with wellbeing. Living in a busy neurodivergent household and conducting PhD research into autism and leadership, I brings this knowledge and empathy to coaching neurodivergent leaders and leaders who focus on positive impact for inclusive and diverse teams.
Clients value my calm, thoughtful style and ability to combine commercial understanding with constructive challenge, all delivered with compassion. My coaching enables leaders to build confidence, strengthen relationships and achieve lasting impact in their organisations.
Beyond coaching and my PhD, life is full of family, the arts, and the outdoors.
