Executive Coaching
Carolyn Manning has extensive experience in helping leaders, high performing staff and business owners to improve their leadership skills, decision-making, and overall effectiveness in their role.
The executive coaching relationship typically focuses on enhancing personal and professional growth, improving work performance, and addressing specific challenges that an individual might be facing in their career or organisation.
The process provides a safe space for clients to discuss sensitive matters, such as leadership dilemmas, self-doubt, or personal development goals. As a psychologist and experienced business consultant, Carolyn is well placed to provide guidance and constructive feedback on communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and decision making.
NDIS Services
While the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) does not cover clinical care of mental health disabilities as these fall under the healthcare system, NDIS may cover some non-clinical services for NDIS participants.
The types of non-clinical services Carolyn Manning can provide to NDIS self-managed NDIS participants include:
- Coaching to help improve motivation, focus, knowledge and skills, resilience and decision making, so you can build your capacity and become more independent
- Support to connect positively with family, friends and others.
