Develop Exceptional Leadership Capacities
What makes the difference between good leaders and exceptional ones? The answer is genuine self‑awareness.
But research shows this is rare - under 15% of leaders actually demonstrate it.
Leaders who get the best out of themselves and others understand the patterns that drive what they say and do, as well as their strengths, blind spots, and how to manage their automatic responses under pressure.

Team effectiveness is cut in half when leaders lack self‑awareness

Emotional intelligence - EQ rather than IQ - is the primary driver of leadership performance

Nine Styles of Authentic Leadership
Fluency across nine distinct leadership styles develops greater self-awareness.
Every leader naturally gravitates towards one leadership style that becomes their 'home base'. But your leadership effectiveness multiplies the more you can consciously access all nine. Authentic Leadership coaching develops exactly this: the flexibility to lead in the way the moment demands.
Your natural leadership style is a real strength. But when familiar challenges keep repeating, it’s often a sign you’re relying too heavily on your default approach. Authentic Leadership coaching helps you recognise your primary style, see when it helps and when it holds you back, and grow your range across all nine leadership styles.
You'll develop at two levels: who you are as a leader and how you lead.
Three Leadership Capacities You'll Develop
1
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Understand Your
Operating System
Decode the automatic patterns driving your decisions, reactions, and leadership style. Know your triggers, your blind spots - the ones everyone else sees but you can't - and your unique strengths. This is the foundation Authentic Leadership is built on.
2
SELF-MANAGEMENT
Master Your Reactions
and Responses
Strengthen the ability to manage yourself under pressure and maintain leadership presence in challenging moments. Understand your decision‑making patterns and biases so you can trust your judgment and make confident decisions faster.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
Lead with Impact
and Conviction
Navigate complex interpersonal dynamics with skill, communicate more effectively, bring out the best in every team member, and build teams that work. When you understand your own patterns, you can work more effectively with other people's patterns too.
Hello, I'm Robert Hutchinson
I help executives develop the self-knowledge that transforms leadership effectiveness.
My approach is distinctive: I work with you as a person first, executive second. Not because your role isn’t important, but because your leadership strength comes from who you are, the foundation for everything you do. This is executive coaching that gets to the heart of who you are as a person and leader, developing the person and the practice — who you are and how you lead.
What you get: An independent perspective from outside your business. I take a directive approach — sharing observations, challenging your thinking, and giving honest feedback shaped by years of experience and a real curiosity about people and leadership.
I provide: The sounding board you need - a confidential space outside your organisation to test your thinking and have the conversations you can’t have anywhere else. Alongside this, you’ll get a clear methodology to decode the automatic patterns that limit your effectiveness and build flexibility across nine leadership styles.
