What Is Chart Room Coaching?
Every founder & leader needs a space to step back, reset the compass and chart their next chapter with intention.
Tools for clarity, direction and meaningful leadership navigation.
The Chart Room Toolkit brings together three integrated tools that help you understand where you are, where you’re heading, and how to navigate the journey with clarity and confidence.
This is not life coaching, and it’s not corporate performance management.
It’s a spacious, strategic and human coaching experience that holds space for both the person and the role.
The Chart Room Toolkit
Three integrated tools support our work together:
Barometer Assessment
A snapshot of your current conditions.
The Barometer helps you understand the internal and external pressures influencing you right now through 9 x themes.
It’s a simple but powerful assessment that surfaces:
- What’s feeling heavy or light
- What’s rising or falling
- Where energy is being gained or lost
- What needs attention, stability or change
Used at key moments in the journey, it gives you a clear reading of your current “weather” so we know where to begin.
Chart Room Conversations
World-class coaching to navigate the journey.
This is the craft itself: intentional, reflective, ICF-aligned coaching conversations that help you move forward with clarity.
Some conversations provide quick course corrections; others are deeper dives that unlock new awareness and possibilities.
Each conversation brings together:
- Goal – what matters now
- Discovery – what’s emerging
- Reflection – what shifts
- Next Steps – what you’ll act on
- Accountability – how you’ll stay aligned
This is where the journey becomes real — moment-by-moment navigation toward your true north.
Balanced Horizons
Your 3-year personal and professional passage plan.
Balanced Horizons is a modern, visual coaching map that helps you align your inner world with your outer goals.
It uses a three-ring, twelve-theme structure to explore:
- Who you are now
- Who you’re becoming
- The long-range horizon you’re moving towards
- The resources, relationships and strengths that support you
- The shifts and commitments that matter most
It’s your strategic passage plan — created in the Chart Room and evolving as your leadership develops.
How We Work Together
1:1 Retainer-Based Coaching
Leadership doesn’t change in a single workshop. It evolves through consistent, high-quality conversations over time.
Rather than fixed “programmes”, I work with clients in a retained 1:1 coaching partnership.
This keeps things simple, flexible, and focused on value rather than hours.
The work is held in what I call the Chart Room — the space I create for us to step away from day-to-day operational running and navigate at a different level.
It’s where we hold the wider picture, sense what matters most now, and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
We agree a rhythm that suits your context (typically fortnightly or monthly sessions), with the option to draw on additional support when decisions or transitions are live.
You keep your coaching “on board” as you navigate real choices, shifting conditions, and periods of change.
The retainer can be reviewed or adjusted as your needs evolve.
Most coaching partnerships naturally unfold over six to eighteen months, sometimes longer, with regular check-ins to ensure the work continues to create clear value.

For Groups & Teams
Half-Day Reset or Full-Day Alignment
Bring your leadership team or board into a shared Chart Room space — away from firefighting and reactive decisions.
It’s a guided strategic conversation where your team regroups, realigns, and sets course — together.
Half-Day Reset – Ideal for duos or teams in transition (strategic pivots, people dynamics, decision paralysis).
Full-Day Alignment – For annual planning, team expansion, or role clarity.
Sessions blend facilitated reflection, coaching-style enquiry, and visual tools like Balanced Horizon, StrengthScope®, or custom strategy maps.
Delivery: In-person in Devon or online via Zoom.
