I like to describe Executive Coaching as an investment in your organisation. Why ? Because your people are your greatest asset.

As talented individuals gain seniority and climb up the ranks, their success hinges on a number of factors. It’s no longer just about technical skills. Soft skills such as communication, networking, negotiation and presentation become key. Furthermore, with new opportunities come new challenges: how to adapt to increasing pressure that comes from more responsibilities, how to take decisions in an ever-changing economic, political and environmental context, how to cultivate one’s unique leadership style, how to juggle personal life and wellbeing with an ambitious career.

As an Executive Coach, my mission is to support your talented leaders in fully expressing their talents, at any stage they might be. Everyone has strengths to leverage on, blockages and blind spots to explore. My role is to accompany your current and future leaders as they grow into their roles, build confidence and develop the mindset and attitudes that drive their own success and make a positive impact on your organisation.


Working with me

As an Executive Coach, I bring calm, perspective and empathy as well as a genuine curiosity. My former background allows me to relate to my coachees and establish a relationship of trust. I’m a perceptive person

I create a safe space for my clients to think for themselves, away from the hussle of the day. I work in line with the code of ethics of the International Coaching Federation and all coaching conversations are strictly confidential between me and my coachees.

As a former leader myself, I understand the importance of working with the right person. I pride myself on creating a safe and confidential space for my clients. Coaching is always a choice, and I offer a free “chemistry” session to ensure that my clients feel I’m the right match for them.

  • You provide an incredibly comfortable space to discuss things. It's lovely how natural this is, and being able to see what's behind the problem, and moving me to understand that, is a great skill

One-to-One Coaching

I offer individual sessions to up-and-coming talented individuals, first-time managers, senior leaders and seasoned executives of your organisation. One-to-one coaching is ideal for building self-awareness and confidence as well as unlocking potential. The benefits of coaching can be seen from the 1st session and may even have positive spillover effects on the rest of the team. I pride myself on creating a safe, empathetic and confidential space for my coachees to work towards their goals. Here are some areas where one-to-one coaching would be beneficial:

  • Developing mental resilience and clarity to manage high-stakes situations 

  • enhance decision-making skills and manage uncertainty

  • understand one’s leadership style, delegate effectively and build leadership presence

  • work on your brand ima

  • identify strengths and areas of growth, obtain and analyse feedback



Tailor-made workshops & group coaching programmes

I offer group training & coaching that are customized to your organisation. This is ideal if you wish to create cohorts and a sense of community. These can take the form of a one-off workshop (for instance, on integrating life & work, on preventing burnout, ) or programmes over several months (for instance, leadership training programmes)


As a former leader myself, I understand the importance of working with the right person. Get in touch with me by sending me an email at laurence@laurencepatriciacoaching.com

I’d be more than happy to discuss your coaching and training needs for your teams. I’m a big believer

  • Yes, absolutely. The coaching relationship is fundamental to the success of the client. As a former leader myself, I fully understand the importance of working with the right person for you.

  • I work both online and in-person (in Central London up to zone 6). I’m happy to customize any coaching programme to your preference.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
