Ute Thomas

I partner with students and young professionals to provide guidance and help to gain confidence in new or tricky situations. The format I use is either in person (I am based in Penarth and cover Penarth and Cardiff area for in person sessions) or online via Google Meet or Teams. We will meet for 60 minutes to do some deep work and ideally every 2 weeks thereafter to support the learning implementation. Depending on the goal you are looking to achieve, 6 to 8 sessions would be sufficient to embed the changes. My teaching style blends proven and tested coaching and mentoring techniques which I have been using for over 10 years. I firmly believe that you hold the answers to the challenges within you and through active listening, reflections and powerful questions, these answers will start to surface and provide you with certainty and clarity.
Together, we will formulate an action plan on how to proceed to help you achieve the ideal outcome you have set for yourself. I will also share my experience of leadership and guide you to available options if you are feeling stuck.
In 24 years as a senior leader operating within large global organisations, I have mastered the art of difficult conversations, dealing with challenging behaviours, managing stress and becoming more resilient, finding clarity in clouded situations often littered with 'noise', and many more leadership challenges. My academic background is in Psychology which I studied in Edinburgh. In 2018, I completed a Masters in High Performance Leadership and more recently a Masters in Executive Coaching and Mentoring, I am currently studying for a Life Coaching Diploma and I am passionate about supporting the development journey of others.
