Performance, Change and Strategy

Breakfast sessions London

“Solution surfing  is the future.”

Conversations that make a difference are vital to the success of your business.  Trouble is, traditional methods take up valuable time and money, two things you don’t always have.  Solution surfing conversations change all that, offering a faster, more effective alternative.  Rather than focusing on the problem, theses conversations  focus on the solution, and get results, FAST.  That’s why many of the world’s top companies are realising its benefits.

Come and learn about the next generation of business conversations.

Special guest Ian Paterson partner, and internal lead coach Ernst and Young

The partner and “in house” coach, Ian Paterson

has 25 years experience in global professional services firms nine of which have been as a partner, which is his current role in one of the UK’s top 4 firms.  During this time he has worked across a number of service lines and sectors including mergers & acquisitions and restructuring.

In addition to his client facing role, Ian leads the internal coaching provision within his business.  This role includes a mix of 1:1 coaching, facilitating on his firm’s coaching and development programme across Europe and leading the creation of a coaching culture in the organisation.  He has considerable experience of coaching and training coaching skills to his fellow partners across Europe.  Ian has completed the full solution surfing training with Peter Szabo in Switzerland.

We will be applying this process and thinking to different themes such as client relationships, building trust, changing cultures through informal conversations and formal coaching, building innovative  coaching cultures and delivering strategic and organisational improvement.  Plus we will run a session on challenges you face so that you can have an experience of the process on YOUR issues and challenges.
