Leadership Ethos
Company Mission Statement
The Continual Edge leadership ethos mirrors that of Britain's internationally-renowned leadership academy of excellence, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst; that is, leadership is an act of service. Indeed, ‘Serve to Lead’ is the academy's motto. This servant leadership philosophy is well-suited to leading professional, highly-trained and motivated individuals. Leading these world-class people is seen both as an honour and a privilege, and the leader ever strives to ensure that each and every individual, team and unit under their command becomes the best version of themselves. In the servant leadership context, one-on-one, team and unit coaching plays a crucial role.
Coaching Philosophy
Executive Support is about helping the busy corporate Client to make profound and lasting changes in their work and personal life. It is achieved within a confidential and safe space that allows the Client to reflect, prioritise requirements, set clear goals, develop robust plans and take direct action in order to reach their full potential – all with 24/7 on-call support.
Personal Coaching focuses on personal betterment. It is achieved via a close working partnership between the Coach and the Client based upon absolute trust, utmost respect and unyielding support. The areas of betterment are many, but broadly fall under the banners of: relationships (work, friends, family, partners etc), health and well-being (those areas within the Client’s control), academic and career support, ambition (personal growth, enhanced self-esteem, maximising potential) and life (aka bucket list) goals.
