Maree Cleghorn Leadership Coach

My experience is grounded in psychology, and informed by 25 years' experience delivering change and developing leaders in New Zealand and Europe across a variety of industries. I have consulted and contracted across a broad spectrum of people-related and delivery projects and have run Lead.Change with my husband Dan since 2018.

I work with senior leaders and leadership teams who know something needs to shift — in how they lead, how their team functions, or both.

I’m truly passionate about supporting leaders and future leaders to build the skills and habits that will help their teams perform and thrive in today’s working environment of constant change and complexity.

My coaching approach

My coaching philosophy is to help people identify and take control of what is important to them, through deep listening and powerful questions.

For me, the beauty of coaching is creating dedicated thinking and reflection space for busy leaders - this head space is invaluable for gaining perspective, problem solving and prioritisation.

My coaching approach begins through building trust with my clients through creating a safe and confidential environment and facilitating deep self reflection. I help them to clarify their vision, hone in on their priorities, then design goals and actions to support them to navigate challenges and create sustainable change.

I balance deep conversation, reflection and accountability with a sense of humour!
