Executive Coach in Derby

As an executive coach in Derby I have one simple philosophy. To be the support to business owners, directors and partners that I wish I had had when I grew my own business from scratch to over 40 staff in under 4 years.

Mark Bateman

I am proven as an executive coach in Derby. Not only do I live in Derby, but I have pursued significant personal development and extensive qualifications. This means that should you choose to work with me, you can be assured that my approach is designed to help you achieve your objectives.

Coaching qualifications

Most executive coaches in Derby have very little formal training. Since selling my business in 2011 I have completed the following at Derby University;

  • Masters in Leadership Coaching and Mentoring
  • Post Grad Certificate in Business Coaching and Mentoring
  • Post Grad Certificate in human psychology

The result is, I hope,  a well rounded executive coach in Derby. You can find more on my profile here.

Experienced executive coach in Derby?

Should we meet, you will find that we very quickly get to the heart of the issues you face.  You will find me supportive, challenging and committed to your success.

I build rapport quickly, gain trust, and engage in deep transformational executive coaching which has a hugely significant and positive impact.  Within a few minutes of meeting me you will know whether I am the right coach for you.

I have over 1,500 coaching hours working with business owners, senior managers, boards, directors and partners. Local companies I have worked with include: John M Lewis & Co, Silver Birch Creative, MBM Property Management, RDS Global, University of Derby and the East Midlands Chamber. You can find some more information on our testimonials page.

Business owner experience

Mark has started, ran and sold his own successful national business (growing it from scratch to £3m within four years from a standing start, with no external funding or partners). Since selling the business in 2011 he has worked with many business owners/senior executives. Be assured – Mark understands the joys, and pressures, of running a business.

What can you expect working with me?

Before committing to anything we would meet for an information chat over coffee or tea. From this meeting you will know whether you can work with me, and you will gain an idea of what our focus will be on.

Questions you will no doubt have are; Can I work with Mark? Do I respect him? Can he help me?

These are the right questions to ask! Likewise I will be ascertaining whether we can work together, are you open to challenge and would you commit to the coaching process?

Typical questions I ask at the outset are; What is it you want? Where do you want to be? What’s stopping you? What are your biggest issues?

Provided we get along, we will be talking at a level deeper than you may have for some time. I’ve often been told within the first coaching session ‘I’ve never said this to anyone”. Which is exciting – as from the outset there is an amazing opportunity for our time together to be truly wonderfully transformational – resulting in overcoming the issues you face.

How do I coach?

You will find me engaging, easy to talk to, trust worthy, entirely credible. I hold confidences. And ask the right questions.

The questions I ask are not prescriptive, nor do I work through a prescribed set of tools. If you want to go through a very formalised process I suggest you look for another coach. Instead, I will work with you, as a fellow amazing human being, who just happens to want to overcome some challenges or reach some amazing goals.

There’s no judgement. I’ve been there. I grew a business to the point of almost overtrading. Opened offices in London and Derby. Put a management team in place and left on a sabbatical because I burnt myself out. Reinvested in myself. Wrestled with selling the business. Sold it in 2011. And since have worked with people like you – seeking to be the very support I wish I’d had when I was in your position.

Summary

If you are looking for a proven executive coach in Derby who has experience, qualifications and soul – give me a call. A coffee will cost you nothing – and you may well gain real hope that at last you’ve found someone who can help you with your challenges and/or goals.
