Learn More About Me

Hi I’m Denise and I’m delighted that you’re here…
I’m a Leadership Coach at 4 Dimensional Leadership and through Values Clarification, Coaching and Leadership Training Programs I help people like you to step your teams through change.
One of the question I get asked most often is… how did you get started?
Here’s how it all started for me…. When I was in my late 20’s and early 30’s I found myself in leadership position after leadership position with no formal training but plugging the gaps due to vacancies within the healthcare system. Having to find my own role models was problematic and trying to run a service whilst minimising the risks was not without its challenges.
As I learned and treaded through the marshes of both the private and public sector worlds of health I knew I could discover ways to minimise risks whilst keeping my teams functioning at a high level.
How? Well it became a great life lesson for me, I quickly began to learn and read human behaviour and started to understand the emotional responses and behaviours related to politics of teams. I read many leadership books and undertook many management and leadership courses to further learn. I also role modelled and found myself some of the best mentors at the time. I started to invest in me.
I quickly found that having my values aligned served me well in leadership, it meant I would make the right decisions at the right time with little reactivity and a whole lot of certainty. I discovered that I absolutely loved leadership and found myself transforming into change leadership, now through coaching I help others in leadership positions.
As people started to see the difference in me and my leadership approaches, they began to ask more questions and asked for advice on culture norms, values in the workplace and my leadership styles. And this is when I knew that this was something I had to do and this is how my leadership program and team development workshops came about.
Last week my client shared with me how powerful the values elicitation work with the EDISC mini behaviour profile tool together has helped them to understand to a higher degree how behaviour in teams can play out.
I wish I had something like this when I first got started because instead of spending lots of time filtering through the advice and the courses, I would have the exact structure, systems and skills needed to help me and my teams create transformational change.
And that’s exactly what we will explore in our 20 minute strategy session together……..
