What is it?

My Game Changing (GC) Coaching is designed for those people who want to make an impact in the business world. For over 30 years, I have worked in big business, small business, and my own businesses. This is where I have made my impact, and this is where I focus my efforts. Throughout my business life, I have coached and mentored scores of talented people from CEOs to next generation leaders to aspiring entrepreneurs.

And I strongly believe if you present yourself as an Executive Coach you should have been professionally trained. Not only do I have a Diploma in Executive Coaching from The AoEC but continuous improvement is also key to my brand!

Focus

My GC Coaching is strictly focused on the business and entrepreneurial world, and is underpinned by GC Index data.
At the start of every executive coaching assignment, I ensure all my clients have benefitted from completing their own GC Index profile. The GC Index® helps my clients understand how they feel most engaged and energised when it comes to making their own business impact.

My clients’ individual personal profiles help them to think about how they can ‘play to their strengths’ and maximise their contribution to a role, team or organization.
Typically, my GC Coaching programmes are focused on the following business challenges:

  • Maximising personal impact;
  • Career and personal development;
  • Confidence and self-belief;
  • Working as part of an effective team;
  • Goal-setting and taking action;
  • Assertiveness;
  • Self-belief and sales skills;
  • Presentation skills;
  • Organisational skills;
  • Personal motivation;
  • Stress reduction;
  • Time management;
  • Time management;
  • Work/life balance;
  • Wellbeing.

GC Coaching Programmes

All my coaching programmes are online and specifically designed to ensure radical evolution and change in your lives, underpinned by insightful data provided by The GC Index®.

Before designing your bespoke GC Coaching programme, we have an initial ‘chemistry consultation’ to discuss your coaching objectives and to make sure there is a trusted chemistry fit.

After this session, together, we will agree your own tailored GC Coaching programme. Everybody’s coaching programme is different because everybody’s needs are different! I don’t believe in a one size fits all coaching approach.

I won’t ask you to become someone who don’t want to be; but I do ask that you give your 100% energy and commitment to the process because this is the way you will personally get the most from your investment and achieve the goals we have agreed together. This will include you reflecting after each session and coming to our next session fully prepared.

Impact

I only work with people who want to make a significant impact in their business lives! Right now, you may not know where or how you are going to make an impact, and that’s ok.

Understanding your own GC Index profile is a great first step as it will provide you with initial insight as to where you like to devote your energies and like to make an impact. This data will provide a solid foundation and help us design a specially tailored GC Coaching programme that suits your needs and helps you achieve the goals you want to achieve.

To date, I have had many delighted coaching clients who have achieved their goals or overcome the challenges they set out to conquer. Please see some of these references below and how my programmes have helped these people make an impact in their working lives.

When the time is right for you, please contact me at hello@savageexec.com.

I look forward to meeting with you and discussing in our initial ‘chemistry consultation’ the business impact you want to make!

Claire Moore, COO Lendable, 4th December 2023.

I worked with Vicky for 7 years and she was the heartbeat at BNP Paribas L&D. Her coaching skills are unique with an incredible ability to draw things out of people. As a trainer she has the ability to engage a group and at the same time everyone feels involved and special. Vicky’s passion for development is infectious and I cant recommend her highly enough as a coach and to develop individuals and groups.

Michael Phillips, Director, Premium Finance, BNP Paribas Personal Finance, 3rd December 2023.

Vicky’s passion and enthusiasm in wanting to break the mental health stigma is what led me to volunteer as co-chair of the committee. I got involved during covid, and we had no idea how much it was going to be needed. Vicky was passionate about making sure we had the right support in place and wanted to make sure we had Mental Health First Aiders trained and available to support colleagues across the business. With her training experience, she ensured that colleagues and managers across the business could enhance their knowledge of mental health and wellbeing and confidently help, listen, and support each other. There were many campaigns over the last few years such as a “Walk the World” challenge and “Winter Wellness” which saw over 300 colleagues engage and take part. Vicky was a huge driving force in the success of these campaigns. I can confidently say that it is with Vicky’s passion and determination to break the stigma and to get everyone at BNP Paribas talking more openly about Mental Health and Wellbeing that this is now part of our culture.

Shauna Gayle, Customer Service Manager, BNP Paribas Personal Finance, February 2024.

Vicky has supported me over the last 12 years in my career and also on a personal level. Her support of career development has resulted in multi-internal company promotions. I have benefited from several coaching sessions tackling my confidence and imposter syndrome especially when returning from maternity leave. She created a safe space to talk and be honest with no judgment and asked the questions that make you think. Most recently, going through a redundancy process, I spent time with Vicky completing and reviewing the GC Index. This was a useful tool in my job searching and interview preparation. It helped me focus on my skills and key drivers and ensured I kept my job search focused. It also helped me turn some of what I believed to be weaknesses into strengths and how these could be of value to another company. I have also seen the results with other friends and colleagues where her coaching has brought people into their own and thrive in what they decide to do. If you feel you need that extra something and support that will be valuable speak to Vicky – you won’t regret it 🙂

Elise Adcock, Sales Manager, BNP Pariabas Personal Finance, March 2024

I would recommend coaching Sessions with Vicky. These sessions allowed me to hold space and unpack where I am currently and what I need to do to develop and improve my practice. Vicky’s coaching style allows you to reflect on where you are and her guidance has helped me shape a plan for what I need to do to progress. I left each session with actions and things to practice before our next session as well as a longer-term plan for things to do in the coming year(s). Thanks for all your help, guidance, and support Vicky!

Clarisse Smith, EDI Manager, 5th February 2024,

Vicky has supported me in my career journey and provided 3 personal coaching sessions. These where all done remotely via teams, and they lasted around an hour each time. Vicky kept me focused during these sessions and really dug deep into understanding what I wanted to achieve and it wasn’t always what I thought after some good questioning and reflections on the session. Vicky has a really calming presence which makes it easy to share and she assured me everything would be confidential. I highly recommend Vicky if you are thinking of taking on any coaching support, she not only supported me tackle imposter syndrome with better thought practices but I’ve also left with some practical changes I can make which will benefit me for a long time to come. Thank you for everything Vicky.
