Individual
Development
We know that real growth happens at the edge of our comfort zone.
Unlocking self-insight
Our coaching starts with self-insight as the foundation. From there, we experiment with behaviour change, co-creating a customised toolkit of strategies and techniques to help leaders guide their teams and organisations to success.
Driving leadership excellence
Our approach is simple and powerful: evidence-based, experience-informed, and aligned with common sense. We prepare leaders for the challenges of today and the demands of tomorrow.
What our clients say
I have become a better leader through this process. There are always new challenges when sitting in the CEO chair. It has been a huge help to have someone to talk through blind spots or bounce ideas to better articulate what needs to be done for the success of the organisation and myself personally. Much of the work has been personal, meaning helping me be the best version of myself and in turn, being a better version of myself to my team and our company.
Chris Cartrett
President & CEO
Aderant
ig’s approach to individual development was rigorous, allowing them to gather the data they needed to build a comprehensive 360 view of my leadership. This approach meant we were able to triangulate the problems I was handling before applying a series of tools and techniques to drive incremental, impactful and lasting change.

(Formerly Global Director of Strategic Sales at Vodafone)
Spirent
As the O2 business prepared for the Joint Venture with Virgin Media, we engaged ig to support senior leaders through the creation of the new company. Their approach is supportive, direct, and appropriately challenging, which worked brilliantly for us. As coaches, they proved to be an excellent sounding board. Their proactive support in helping me settle into my first CEO role was invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ig to other CEOs and executive teams.
Mark Evans
Chief Strategy and Development Officer
Telefonica
The coaching was really powerful – I thought I’d been coached before but this was something new. I started to understand myself at a really deep level…it brought a sense of who I am, and an ability to deal with the stuff that holds me back. The impact has been that I have taken more control of things and am more actively shaping my career while still staying authentic.
Jan Bibby
Head of Organisation Effectiveness & Change AMAP
Vodafone
I was expecting to be like Lego – taken apart and put back together in a different way; that was not the case, it was very smooth. The process was very enlightening. I carried the coaching report in my bag for almost a year and I’ve referred to it a lot.
Khaled Salmeen
Chairman
Abu Dhabi Terminals
ig’s approach to coaching is immersive, and the Executive Insights program was one of the most impactful six months of my career…the self-indulgence of talking about yourself and the challenges you’re facing is one thing, but having someone to provide robust challenge and provide constructive ways for you to really change the behaviours you know are inhibiting – that’s a game changer.
Gail Rutherford
Director of Strategy and M&A
Direct Line Group
ig kept me feeling balanced through change – they helped me to realise that I can be in control of more than I expected, and this was a huge benefit in making decisions because I had choices and felt comfortable with different scenarios.
Sarah Harvey
CFO, Essenys
(Formerly Director of Operations Finance at Virgin Media O2)
I would have never anticipated how much my individual sessions would help me in my professional career and even on a personal level. The ig team have a natural ability to help others identify those inner beliefs that undermine our own ability to grow and become the best version of ourselves. They are excellent professionals and a pleasure to work with.
