In a Nutshell

 
As a leader, you are aware of the immense responsibility that comes with every decision. The future of your organisation often depends on these choices, and in today’s fast-paced business environment, taking a moment to pause, reassess, and rethink critical issues can be the key to staying ahead. 
At Coaching For ReThink, I work as a sparring partner for C-level managers like you, helping you rethink the decisions that matter most. Whether it is navigating a strategic shift, launching a new initiative, or managing risks, I help leaders tackle complex topics from fresh perspectives, ensuring decisions are thoroughly considered from all angles before they are finalised. 
As a lean management specialist, I bring the principles of efficiency and clarity into your decision-making process. While lean management is typically a bottom-up approach, its success is ultimately tied to employee buy-in. Without their engagement, even the most well-conceived strategies can fall short. I ensure that while you lead from the top, your decisions are grounded in insights from the front lines, creating a more holistic approach that fosters alignment across the entire organisation. This way, you not only eliminate inefficiencies but also make decisions that have a lasting impact. 
Having worked closely with both blue-collar and white-collar employees, I bridge the gap between strategy and execution, ensuring that your decisions resonate throughout the organisation. 
With Coaching for Rethink, you will: 
- Rethink critical decisions with renewed clarity and confidence. 
- Challenge assumptions to uncover new opportunities. 
- Apply lean thinking to make decisions that are both efficient and strategically sound. 
If you are ready to rethink your decision-making process, I would be happy to offer a no-obligation consultation to explore how Coaching for Rethink can support you in shaping the future of your organisation.

What makes us different?

The honest to the core answer is: 'not much' - There are truckloads of excellent consultants out there.
We advise you to make sure the chemistry between you and your consultant matches. If it does not, please look for one that does.
We heed our own advice: If we feel that we will not get along, we will tell you so and advise you to spend your money somewhere else.

It has not been mentioned so far...

...because it is second nature to us:
We approach each project from a lean management perspective.
Kaikaku gives an initial boost. 
Hansei and Kaizen will be your companions on your way to success.
We are most efficient when we work as interim managers on the project.
