Psychological insight for leadership,
work and change

Leadership and senior professional roles can bring sustained responsibility, complex relationships, competing demands and pressure to perform.

Executive coaching combines psychological insight with a practical focus on motivation, behaviour, relationships and performance.

Experience

Pamela’s professional background includes organisational consulting and research, corporate work in Australia and overseas, and a three-year
Commonwealth Bank of Australia research study involving approximately 25,000 employees and examining motivation and turnover.

She also held a position on the Committee for Coaching Psychologists for approximately six years and has conducted stress-management lectures
and workshops at the Australian College of Applied Psychology.

Coaching focus

Work may centre on leadership, career optimisation, workplace relationships, communication, motivation, change, conflict, performance and the demands of senior professional roles.

Approach

The emphasis is practical and collaborative, helping clients understand the factors influencing their professional behaviour and relationships and identify useful ways forward.
