Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Consultancy

MacIndoe is a UK based executive coaching and leadership development consultancy firm specialising in inspiring and enabling business leaders and their teams to excel and deliver value added results through identifying, developing and leveraging their strengths.

Philosophy

MacIndoe's philosophy is based on leading edge thinking drawn from positive psychology and neuroscience. The focus of any work we conduct is on what is working and what the desired future is rather than focusing on what is broken and is not working. This does not mean difficulties and obstacles are excluded but rather we hone in how we can make best use of individual and team strengths in order that they can do better in the future.

"Most coaches will tell you that they focus on clients' strengths. I would dispute that. The problem is most coaches are either swayed by their coachees to revert to working on weaknesses or do not have the experience or passion to actively seek to tease out strengths and help develop and leverage them," says Gail MacIndoe.

Gail's interest in the strengths based approach to leadership and management dates back to 1999 with the introduction of ground breaking research conducted by Gallup published in First Break All The Rules. It was in 2007 as Executive Coach & Learning & Development Manager at Aviva, after personally piloting a strengths approach, she saw the successful outcomes of such an approac. Armed with tangible proof, Gail has continued to introduce pioneering work in strengths in a number of leading corporations.

MacIndoe is led by Gail MacIndoe, a certified executive coach and master NLP practitioner and is supported by a network of highly qualified coaches. The range of services offered include 1:1 executive coaching, building high performing teams, designing and managing Strengths Mentoring © programmes, psychometric testing, bespoke leadership development workshops, team facilitation and professional speaking. Organisations that Gail has worked for include HSBC Insurance Brokers, Aviva, QinetiQ, American Express, Linklaters, Abbey and Kellogg Brown & Root.
