The perfect balance between psychological insight and business credibility.
We work with leaders in the area of personal development, leadership behaviours, team dynamics and board relationships.
We also leverage good practice by developing in-house coaches.
One-to-one Executive Coaching is the bedrock of personal development. White Water offers you both a very experienced coach, and also a team of experts who can work with you on specific topics, from influencing, to resilience, to career management, to leadership style.
In addition to general development, we also coach for major events:
Imagine that you are working in a cross-functional group with conflicting interests and no clear path to decision-making. Emotions can run high and participants become overly guarded. Sometimes it feels like some sort of marriage counsellor could be the only solution!
Or perhaps you are dealing with a ‘wicked’ problem for which there is actually no answer and you need to harness the collective creative juices of the group to move forward.
When a team is in need of coaching, the number of relationships increases exponentially and creating the right space for disclosure and experimentation requires considerable skill.
In group coaching we work closely with you, facilitating, observing and transferring skills so that you get the best out of everyone, all the time.
At White Water we are focused on enhancing leadership behaviours, one leader at a time… Sometimes change is best initiated from the inside: install a coaching culture in your business…
We work closely with you to develop high quality internal coaches who can in turn spread good coaching behaviours.
Use stand-alone or to accompany a major transformation.

The certification is also essential to give internal credibility to the programme.
This is a programme focusing on the unique challenges in-house executive coaches face, such as:
What makes this programme unique is the deep level of partnership between the client and ourselves: by co-designing and co-delivering the programme we are able to substantially accelerate the development and enhance the performance of internal coaches. In a recent example, we were able to provide the equivalent of three years of experience over nine months!
