Executive Coaching Profile: Lynne Copp

Allowing your credible and incredible self to flourish

Executives and Senior Leadership Coaching is a formal and effective investment in leadership potential. It is my goal to create an environment where each can find space in their fast-changing, complex and high-demand business environments, to focus on their effectiveness, development and potential as a leader.  Workplaces today are complex and turbulent environments; experiencing continuous churn, change and demands. The world is changing fast too, and all organisational leaders must be agile, resilient, forward-focused and brave if they are to succeed in these new terrains and achieve their vision. This working landscape requires leaders to be skilled at navigating and transforming the workplace to not only deliver, but also become sustainable. Continuous personal development through coaching and mentoring  provide two of the most effective ways for leaders to acquire new skills that will keep each: current, resilient, inspired and playing to their strengths.

Executive coaching is a formal relationship where we work together as allies in this landscape to allow your credible and incredible self to flourish. You deserve to be that version of you and so does your organisation and its customers!

Coaching Testimonials

“Lynne Copp is a brilliant and inspiring person and coach, she changes lives, for the better. Lynne has had more impact on my work, life and me than any one or group of people in over 25 years. Through Lynne’s coaching, facilitation and OD consultancy I have become a better leader with positive benefit to my work and personal life. Lynne has helped me to think differently, which has had a dramatic and positive impact on how I feel, what I say, what I do, and most importantly, therefore, what my team and I achieve. I would highly recommend Lynne to anyone who thinks there is more inside them and others; Lynne unlocks that potential. ” JN, Director of IM&T, NHS Trust

“When one reaches the top of an organisation, it can become quite isolating, having a coach like Lynne, who would just listen, challenge and facilitate me to come up with my own solutions was of true benefit. She was a good sounding board, challenged me appropriately and helped me to gain confidence in my own leadership skills. I would recommend coaching to every leader, and would definitely recommend Lynne.“ NHS CEO

"Lynne has supported me with coaching and I have found it tremendously helpful. Her style has been supportive but challenging, able to spot and pursue helpful avenues whilst maintaining sight of my personal objectives and always respectful of my values and boundaries." Director, HP

“Lynne has been a Personal Development Coach for me over the past year. At first I wasn't sure what to expect from coaching, but I needn't have been concerned. Lynne's style and approach put me at ease straight away. My coaching sessions were enlightening, inspiring and I eagerly looked forward to our weekly meetings. She is highly professional, insightful, empathetic and very non-judgemental. She maintained my confidentiality throughout, respected my needs and guided me towards so much self-awareness”. CEO, Financial Services.

“Lynne is one of the most honest and respectful people I have ever come in contact with. She is empathetic and inspires action in everyone. She takes time to listen, provide feedback and coaches people to improve both themselves as well as their business. She is a fun and engaging communicator and her approachable style creates trust and safety for people who are often nervous about attending training programmes or coaching”. Associate Director, Birmingham City Council
