Leadership Coaching
Executive and Career Coaching for Managers and Directors
Maureen Adams provides executive coaching and services that give leaders the space to think, reflect, and lead.
Welcome
I'm Maureen Adams, an ICF-accredited executive career coach with over 20 years of experience in senior management and director roles. I provide career coaching to managers, directors, and aspiring executives across Oxford, Berkshire, the UK, Europe, and the US, helping them prepare for promotion, perform strongly in executive interviews, and navigate major career and leadership transitions.
Leadership Development
My career coaching focuses on facilitating meaningful change in your leadership development. I work with mid-career clients who have more to achieve but need a strategic yet practical approach. I also run a programme for women in leadership who seek to enhance their impact.
Clients often describe feeling clear about their goals and the pathways to achieve them; calmer and more confident in high-stakes meetings and interviews; credible and visible with senior stakeholders; and re-energised about their career path.
Interview Coaching
Whether you're preparing for a senior interview, stepping into a leadership role, accelerating your performance, or repositioning your career, you'll benefit from a high-quality, personalised coaching programme tailored for leadership development.
If you are struggling to articulate your achievements, interview coaching can help, not by giving you answers but by strengthening how you respond in a way that is entirely authentic to you.
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching for directors acknowledges the scope and scale of a role at this level and the accompanying pressures. It requires a coaching process that supports strategic abilities and vision alongside performance. But it should always come from a place of support and confidentiality. Increasingly, directors and thos in the C-Suite are required to work across wider remits and responsibilities, which in turn requires complementary thinking skills. This is where executive coaching offers most value.
Career Coaching
If you're looking for a career coach near me to make a stronger impact, develop your leadership skills, or expand your breadth with a board position, now is the perfect time to start the conversation. Refresh your motivation and leadership style in a confidential setting.
Often, leaders have strengths they are known for and rely on, but they can also benefit from developing new behaviours that improve communcation, leadership development, and leadership results. In an established role, it is important to evolve and stay fresh in the face of emerging challenges.
In the words of a valued client:
"At the end of the programme, I was delighted to achieve a significant internal promotion into the C-Suite that had seemed out of reach. Coaching brought out my capabilities, and I began believing in myself."

Working across all sectors, including Finance, IT, Marketing, PM, Retail, and Operations, I ensure you become a well-positioned leader through tailored career coaching.
When managers and leaders face pressure, decision-making can become rushed and overwhelming. This is where career coaching plays a crucial role; it provides a framework for assessing the completeness of both personal and professional lives, helping you identify what truly matters. This focused approach is essential for leadership development.
Rather than spiralling toward burnout, individuals can transform their careers, regain control, lead with vision, and manage uncertainty more effectively. Results are key, whether you're looking at the Return on Investment (ROI) of coaching or aiming to achieve better results at work. We pinpoint your needs and dedicate ourselves to guiding you toward success.
The difference between executive coaching services and career coaching lies in the focus of our sessions. In executive coaching, we delve into your thinking patterns and problem-solving strategies in relation to your current role and aspirations. Conversely, career coaching specifically targets your vision for the future, positioning you for your desired role, organisation, or life change.
For example, if you're contemplating a career change after 40 or 50, we utilise your extensive experience and solid reputation to ensure a seamless transition into a new role. Investing in coaching at any age is truly an investment in your future.
As a successful client put it:
"The impact was real; I secured a promotion and continued career coaching afterwards to navigate workplace conflict with confidence."
