The IT coach
"I work with individuals, experienced managers, and leaders to change their technique, outlook and communication style to improve productivity."
When faced with change:
• Do you want to develop your management and
leadership skills?
• Do you need assistance with a job opportunity?
• Are you looking for guidance on a new task, like
New Product Development?
• Are you looking to develop your entrepreneurial
skills?
• Do you suffer from time-management issues?
• Are you an entrepreneur that needs a mentor?
• Are you an entrepreneur that needs mentoring
in management skills?
Paddy Woods
I chose to coach and mentor primarily in this sector because I have worked with IT professionals and entrepreneurs for over 30 years.
I have found that IT people in particular find it difficult to adapt their working and communication styles when they take on managerial or leadership roles.
It becomes a definite barrier to career progression.
These skills can be developed with work and my job is to assist you and nurture these skills within you.


I often hear IT people express fear about moving to the next level in their careers or taking on challenging roles, including entrepreneurial people.
They can feel isolated and may lack confidence.
They are sometimes concerned about change and unsure of their ability to do required work.
Why coaching?
Having a coach shouldn’t be viewed as a luxury or a self indulgence. Modern managers, leaders and entrepreneurs view coaching as an essential requirement for success.

How can you help me?As part of coaching, I will provide you with a safe space to discuss all career-based challenges. The focus will be on change, how to recognise what needs to change, how you will do it, and then figure out what happens once you achieve it. I will engage with you to truly understand your personal situation, looking at your career in a holistic sense. I want you to play to your strengths and key skills, but to get there we need to develop a mutual trust, demonstrated by authenticity, honesty and respect. Although we work at a comfortable pace, I promise to challenge you.
