JO MURFIN COACHING

Qualified Leadership Career and Development Coach

I am an experienced Qualified Leadership Career and Development Coach with 15+ years leadership experience, including at the National Media Museum, Brighton & Hove City Council and The Royal Pavilion.  

I work with leaders of all types from individuals, sole traders and SME business owners, through to team leaders, middle managers and senior managers in large organisations.

I specialise in:

1. Career Coaching: I help experienced leaders to find a career change or new direction that they will love for the future.

2. New Leader Identity Development: I help new leaders to feel confident and develop their own leadership identity to become great leaders.  I help people to prepare to step up to a leadership role.

3. Be a Great Leader: I help leaders to overcome problems including:

• Not enough time
• Feeling stressed
• Challenging staff issues
• Lacking motivation

With 15+ years leadership experience and as a part-time Project Manager and previously Project Consultant (Director) I bring people from various backgrounds together to form a temporary team for successful co-creating. I understand the challenge leaders face in motivating and involving a diverse team of people with a range of personalities, whilst aiming to deliver improved business performance. This experience informs my Leadership Coaching as I work with leaders to find an identity which maximises their strengths so they can lead with confidence, balancing performance with compassion. 

What makes me different: 

I have a strong natural ability to connect with people and draw out what they really want and what's really blocking them.  So they can take control and get what they want. 

1. I'm leadership coaching qualified: I'm qualified to coach leaders and managers at Institute of Leadership and Management Level 5.  Find out more about the benefits of working with a Qualified Coach below.

2. I'm experienced: I've been coaching leaders in a range of professions for 4 years and have over 15 years leadership experience in the private and public sector.

3. My values: Fairness, kindness and being authentic are really important to me personally.  As a coach I'm my real self, with no judgement, which helps to build trust and the client can feel comfortable to be open and to think creatively to make the most of their strengths.

4. Results: Through my 4 Step Coaching Programme for Getting What You Want I've helped many different leaders to feel confident, find their strengths and something they love.

3. Flexibility:I have the knowledge and confidence to be flexible for you as a unique individual and will introduce tools and techniques that will bring you the most benefit. My qualification training required evaluation of a wide range of coaching tools and techniques and I continue to learn and develop through my professional membership of the Institute of Leadership and Management and Association for Coaching.

4. Expertise:I have the skills and expertise to guide you to break free from things that are stopping you and to take control of getting what you want, as I have 4 years and over 100 hours of qualified coaching experience. I trained and continue to receive mentoring and supervision from recognised ILM qualification provider QED Ltd. (Note: client details and session content are confidential and never shared)

5. Support:I will support you as a unique individual, without judgement or assumptions, so you can feel confident to be open and creative to make the most of your strengths.

I work to the Association of Coaching Global Code of Ethics.
