The Gold Collection

A series of Thinking Playbooks for senior leaders

The Gold Collection is a series of concise thinking playbooks for live leadership questions: the pressure you need to understand, the conversation you need to prepare for or the decision that has remained unresolved.

They will not tell you what to think. They will give your thinking somewhere useful to go.

Assistant Headteacher, South View School, Dubai

Our sessions are consistently challenging in the right way. Nadine asks precise, well-judged questions that push thinking and demand clarity around impact. This has sharpened my own practice.

Nadine helped me to quickly change perspective, to act more confidently, to focus on my worth and showed me how I could make an even greater impact.

Nadine created a supportive and reflective environment through sessions that were thoughtful, engaging and purposeful. She encouraged meaningful discussion, helping us to recognise what we do well.

Using a playbook in coaching


A playbook can be used privately or brought into an executive coaching session. The resource gives us a starting point; the conversation allows us to examine what the answers mean in your context.
