Award winning trainer, coach and author
I’m Lindsay Taylor, FInstAM.
I’ve got 30 years expertise in the EA and PA community and I’ve been in your shoes. I worked as an EA and PA before setting up Your Excellency. I know how important bespoke training and one-to-one coaching is for professionals like you. You want targeted learning to help you overcome challenges and ensure you’re excelling in your role. I’d love to support you with this.
I’m an award winning trainer and coach and a long-standing member of The Association for Coaching, evidencing that I value best practice in training and coaching ethics.
If you’re considering one-to-one coaching, I’d love to meet you for an initial virtual compatibility session. This is a “no-obligation” discovery session that ensures you and I will be happy working together, we’ll chat through how you can get the best from our sessions and we’ll identify exactly what you need and want to accomplish from your coaching.
A typical one-to-one Programme consists of 6 X 90 minute sessions held every 3 weeks.
Delivery is either in person OR virtual using Zoom as a preferred training platform.
For in-person sessions, it is expected you provide access to a suitable private meeting room for the sessions with refreshments.
When you’ve decided that one-to-one coaching is right for you, in our first meeting we will work to define very clearly what you want to accomplish from your coaching. This is a very important step in the coaching process and will ensure that we start with a solid foundation. To help gain this clarity, I will ask you some questions. I’ll then draw up a coaching agreement for signature by us both.
