Coaching
Coaching is considered the most effective way to improve as a leader. Coaching provides a personalised approach to leadership development, addressing the unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals of each leader. Coaching helps leaders gain a deeper understanding of their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, which is essential for effective leadership and personal growth. Furthermore, coaching provides a confidential setting where leaders can safely discuss sensitive challenges without fear of judgment or consequences. Coaching provides leaders with encouragement, feedback, and support, helping to build their confidence and sustain their motivation to grow and develop as a leader. The coaching process is action-oriented, helping leaders turn their goals and aspirations into concrete plans and actionable steps.
The Benefits
Leadership coaching provides numerous benefits to individuals and organizations, including:
✔️ Improved leadership skills
Coaching helps leaders develop their leadership style in alignment with their beliefs and values. Coaching increases the effectiveness of leaders by exploring their strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, and creating a plan for improvement.
✔️ Increased self-awareness
Leaders gain a deeper understanding of their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, which can help them make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and manage stress and conflict more effectively.
✔️ Improved decision-making
Coaching can help leaders make better decisions by providing them with a process for exploring options, considering consequences, and making choices that align with their values and goals.
✔️ Better communication
Coaching can help leaders improve their communication skills by providing them with feedback, coaching, and guidance on how to effectively communicate their vision and goals to their team.
✔️ Enhanced teamwork
Through coaching, leaders work better with their teams in managing conflict, hearing 'all' the voices in the team and in creating a more positive and productive work environment leading to increased employee engagement and satisfaction, and improving overall performance.
About Naketa
Kia ora! I'm Naketa - a mother and a wife, of Takuvaine and Tupapa (Cook Island) and Ngāpuhi (Aotearoa, New Zealand) descent. A career of teaching and learning has led me to start Kia Mahira Te Whakaako, in Te Reo Māori this Be Curious Coaching. I believe 'curiosity' is a vital characteristic for all leaders and pride myself on supporting leaders (like yourself) in moving from where YOU are, to where YOU want to be, so that YOU can live your best life while inspiring the next generation of leaders!
I'm an international coach who has worked with leaders from all around the world - from Ōtara to Oman, from Australia to Saudi Arabia, from the Cook Islands and Ivory Coast and so many places in between.
I take my role as a coach very seriously and have worked tirelessly over the past decade to level up my coaching craft. I am an accredited Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with International Coaching Federation and am currently working towards Professional Certified Coach (PCC). I am guided and bound by the ICF Code of Ethics which means that every coaching conversation is strictly confidential.

Leadership Coaching Experience (Online)
I partner with you in the Leadership Coaching Experience (LCE) to interrogate your leadership identity. To serve and lead others, we must first serve and lead ourselves. The LCE is an opportunity for you to explore (and challenge) the beliefs, values and assumptions that form your leadership style and vision. We are often put into leadership positions without the support or time and space to assess our own leadership aspirations.
For 3 x 45-minute sessions over a 3-month period, we work together to explore your leadership identity and aspirations. We assess where you are (the existing state) and where you want to be (desired state) and work backwards by design to achieve your goals.

You won't regret investing in your leadership 'me' time
