Dr Tracy KiteExecutive and Leadership Coach; Action Learning Facilitator; Work/Life Coach; Health and Wellbeing Coach; Author of 'Love to Lead' (Panoma Press) and the second edition of this book, 'Lead Like You Give a F**k!' (Rethink Press).I am a specialist in the field of Leadership and Learning, with a proven background in building individual, team and organisational learning and capability. I work with individual executives, leaders and colleagues to develop personal leadership capability, overcome obstacles to personal and business growth and work/life issues, using a human - centred coaching approach. I coach teams, using Action Learning principles, to develop problem-solving capabilities and enhance leadership skills and team cohesion.I hold post-graduate Coaching, Business and Performance Coaching, and Psychological Coaching qualifications and have substantial executive and leadership coaching experience. I also teach coaching skills to others. I use contemporary research and neuroscience evidence to ensure development is effective, rapid, and lasting for the future. My coaching is deeply human and psychologically focused, to ensure lasting and sustainable growth and development. I use dedicated coaching time to ask insightful questions, creating the space to think, and adopting an encouraging, pragmatic, empathetic but challenging style, to bring out the best in my clients. My approach is powerful because it focuses on the person, the organisation, and the results, in a holistic and integrated fashion. I am passionate that humanness, rather than process, creates business success and optimal growth.I achieved my Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in 2014, with my research and thesis focusing on leadership and coaching in organisations, and the impact of collaborative leadership in realising the full potential of leaders in business. I have a Master of Arts (MA) in the Management of Change (leadership and organisational development) and have designed and delivered internal vocational leadership and Masters in Management (MMgt) qualifications. I am a qualified mental health nurse (RMN) with 39 years' experience in the Health and Social Care Sector. I am a proud nurse and have maintained an active registration with the NMC since my qualification in 1987.I love family, animals and nature. My joy is in my husband, children and five grandsons and the simple times that bring us close as a family.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
