PUBLIC SECTOR BODY

Coaching for Stronger Leadership

Clarity, Confidence, and Better Decisions

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURE

Stronger Governance for Smarter Growth

Clarity, Accountability, and Better Teamwork

Client Overview
An electrical equipment manufacturer of distribution transformers which are used worldwide. As the company grew, work became more complex. Teams needed clear roles, better decision-making, and better support to stay focused and aligned with the company’s goals.

Helping leaders embed the changes through training and clear communication.
