Why Leadership Coaching Matters

Thick black line, the Scaffold Platform image to underline key headings and phrases.

At Scaffold Coaching, we believe leadership is not just a role — it’s a skill set and a mindset. Effective leadership shapes team performance, culture, and long-term success. Yet many organisations invest heavily in technical training while overlooking the relational, communication and human skills that make the difference.

Our Leadership Coaching offering fills that gap. We help organisations and individuals unlock leadership potential, transition from manager to leader, and build teams that collaborate, perform and grow with clarity, confidence and purpose.

Whether you are new to the world of work, have secured an exciting new role, or are an experienced leader wanting to explore new thinking - coaching provides a confidential space to support your development.

John’s coaching made a crucial difference when I was at such a low ebb, everything felt so chaotic, but now the future looks more positive - I’m felling so much better.

  • "There are no words for how brilliant the coaching I received was. It has changed the way I lead – forever”

    Director of Library Service, University of Hull

  • Great experience from Rachael at Scaffold Coaching giving support as I stepped into a senior leadership role (my first) within a university leadership team. The carefully considered and bespoke approach to my needs were really helpful to understand the context of this institutional wide role.

    Andrew King, Intermin Pro Vice Chancellor (Education)

  • Following 1-2-1 coaching with Scaffolding Coaching, John and Rachael are great at communicating complex ideas, they actively listened to my needs, to adapt the session to ensure my professional growth.

    Nicola Taylor, Business Development Director, Fonemeida

  • I had the opportunity of working with Rachael from Scaffold coaching last year. Right from the start Rachael made me feel very comfortable and formed a relationship of trust and transparency. From our discussions Rachael could very quickly ascertain how I would benefit from each session and would be led by what my needs/requirement were. I found the time spent with Rachael very valuable. Thank you so much.

  • Scaffold Coaching has been a great support to me personally in helping me gain confidence in my own abilities and understand more about my values and why that’s important in leadership. It has and is helping me become a better leader. Thank you.

    Emma Booth, head of Relationship Management, Ultimate Finance

  • Coaching sessions with John made a significant difference to the set up and early operation of a large scale project that was my first as an international lead. With his discussions and suggestions, I was able to develop a project vision as well as establish project values and standards with a large partnership, and this definitely was a key strategy for the successful operation and delivery of the project over the next three years. Without his coaching, I would have charged on without much clue or relevant skill set!
