Victoria Macpherson. Coaching for Leadership and Life.
Victoria Macpherson
Are you ready to explore and resolve your blocks, reveal your talents, discover where you want to get to and how to get there? Coaching is about co-creating a space that’s uniquely yours. Stepping into it will allow you to see everything more clearly: your strengths, your limiting beliefs, your goals and how you can achieve them. The practical tools and intuitive insights I’ve discovered through years of coaching practice and life and business experience, when applied to you and your career, will cut through complex career demands and open the way to a more authentic, balanced life.
A unique approach
Victoria’s own life and business experience is underpinned by her training in Gestalt Coaching and Hogan Psychometrics. She is also a qualified HeartMath Coach, transforming her clients’ stress into resilience. Victoria works with leaders in many fields, including those in the start-up arena who are juggling the complex pressures of building a business, raising capital and leading a team. She helps all her clients navigate complex career and personal demands to create lives of authenticity and balance.
Why do people come to coaching?
“I am moving into a new senior role where I am no longer the expert. How do I lead a team who are experts in their field?”
“I have had a harsh 360 review and it’s been recommended I use a coach to address some of my behaviours, and how I can move forward.”
“I am starting a new role with a team that gone through a huge amount of change. How do I lead them and build trust in the team?”
“I had a bad time in my last role and I need some help navigating my new role. I don’t want my past experience to impact my confidence and behaviours.”
“I am a startup CEO. I need to take a step back from leading the team to organise my thoughts and navigate the next steps.”
“I am running a business and am stretched in so many directions. My health and mental well-being is suffering. I want to work with a coach to find balance in my life and to look at how I can look after myself and put in place some good practices that will enable me to be more even tempered.”

What clients are saying
“It was like being given the key to the door of another world that I knew existed, but I just couldn’t figure out how to open it up! Victoria displays a very natural and calming style, provokes your inner thoughts and helps you to challenge yourself about what you really want out of life. If you’re looking for a change of direction, or someone to help ‘nudge’ you to the place you want to reach, Victoria is that person.”

“A good coach gives you advice, a great coach helps you discover. Victoria does the latter. By challenging your perceptions and testing your views, she helps you discover something new about yourself that you couldn't quite grasp on your own. With her professional experience as a background and highly insightful observations, she opens up new pathways for developing your career. In that, she does not only see your professional self, but is able to look at who you are holistically.”

“I cannot overstate how instrumental Victoria's coaching has been in developing not just my leadership abilities but our entire company culture. Without fail, I leave our coaching sessions feeling better equipped to handle the challenges and pressures I face and clearer in my strategic decision-making. If not for Victoria, I may never have made the decision to pivot and innovate at the right time, nor learnt how to lead board meetings with such confidence. She is truly exceptional and has helped me in more ways than I can express. I would not be where I am today without her.”
