Helping leaders open their eyes to challenges, interpret complexity and access creativity
We live in a world of growing complexity and disruption. Ever increasing demands are being placed on financial services organisations by regulators, clients and the societies they operate in. Executives are expected to guide their organisations into an uncertain future. And leaders need to deliver business success whilst navigating the dynamic landscape they operate in.
At Blacklight Advisory we believe great businesses are a consequence of the social, intellectual and commercial capital they create. This in turn underpins the organisational creativity, innovation and responsiveness needed to succeed in today’s challenging business environment.
In order to overcome these challenges, getting a deeper understanding of individual learning needs and required capabilities is important to improve existing skills and develop creative ways of thinking. To achieve this, introspection and increased levels of self-awareness are key. According to Forbes increased self-awareness of leaders positively influences organisational effectiveness and helps them build more productive relationships. Coaching can help provide these insights to support leaders improve their adaptability and strengthen their resilience.
How can we help?
Helping individuals make their mark
We look at coaching using a systemic lens. We focus on the individual and the context they operate in; the impact they have on their environment and the influence of the environment on them. Our coaching approach focuses on the interaction between personal experiences, the goals and culture of the organisation and external factors of influence.
Coaching can help leaders and teams to work towards professional growth and excellence. To achieve this, deepening core capabilities, enhancement of self-awareness and development of the ability to reason and reflect are key. A study by McKinsey shows that leaders that receive tailored learning programmes like individual coaching have a higher likelihood to succeed in their role. Our approach supports our clients through the tough, hidden and influential challenges that really affect their role and their teams’ performance.
What can we do?

We offer a variety of coaching programmes for individuals and teams in their pursuit of continuous development and professional improvement. We also have the capability to provide face to face as well as virtual coaching to support our clients accordingly.
Each coaching journey starts with a chemistry session for the client to select a coach to work with. A typical coaching relationship consists of 8-10 coaching sessions during which the client and coach work towards upfront articulated and agreed goals and objectives.
