Executive coaching & Leadership development
In addition to their knowledge and competences, people bring their own mindset and emotions into the organisation. Effective leadership requires the capacity to combine intuitive and emotional insights with strategic plans and to engage with complexity.
Organisations are confronted with increased complexity which demands leadership adaptive to change. Themes like identity, societal relevance, business ethics, climate change, diversity & inclusion, new technology, next generation management are often leading. Furthermore the executive coaching of senior women leaders across industries has become an increasing part of our work. Pauline offers coaching for executives aiming to further enhance their leadership.
-
Team coaching
At DevelopmentinDepth we work with teams providing a reflective space where, if needed more difficult dynamics can be explored and worked with. What is helping or hindering the team to fulfill their full potential? Typical examples of the work would involve; team development, leading change, implementing new strategy, difficult team dynamics, improving cooperation, diversity and inclusion. These are some of the examples where Development in Depth can contribute.

Talent coaching
In addition to the coaching of senior executives, Pauline has built extensive experience in the coaching of professionals having been identified as the future leaders in organisations. This is offered both indidividually as well as through tailor made leadership programmes. One of the aims is to contribute to the mutual understanding, acknowledgement of differences between different generations, cultures and dynamics in organisations. Talent coaching helps the client understand how these factors could enhance each other to stimulate change and innovation.
-
Supervision
Group supervision - We lead peer supervision groups in organisations as a powerful intervention for learning from and with other collegeaus in organisations. The aim is to provide an interactive reflective learning space through group dialogue and to offer (thinking) space for each participants’ individual experience in role in the organisation. It has proven to lead to better crossdepartemental collaboration, awareness and understanding of group and organisational dynamics, an extended internal network and new inititiatives. The demand for this design has substantially increased based upon the achieved innovative results in organisations and leadership programmes. It anticipates the growing complexity and challenges in organisations and society.
Coaching supervision - In order to assure quality of executive coaches and consultants, supervision is essential, especially in today’s context where accreditation is relevant. Pauline is an experienced supervisor for coaches who wish to further develop their practice and reflect on current coaching and consulting clients.

Approach
Central to the approach of DevelopmentinDepth is the ability to coach at the intersection of organisational culture, values and goals. Subsequently we explore the more unconscious processes in the individual and teams within their organisations and the wider system. This provides valuable insights and leads to a better understanding of what might be going on. It enables leaders and professionals to use this as a source for change and development.
The client gains deeper understanding of their organisation as a system, and an enhanced capacity for using the full range of their experience as a resource for understanding their own and others’ behaviour.
The Systems Psychodynamic Approach
The approach to the work utilises a systems psychodynamic lens. Focusing upon the emotional and relational dimension of work roles, it helps individuals, teams and organisations navigate change. Creating new perspectives through a deepened understanding of the work role and organisational dynamics. Clients often refer to this distinctive added value of the coaching as part of their improved personal leadership.
Person, Role, Organisation
These three factors are interrelated. The focus here is the client’s organisational role, role being where person and organisation intersect. The question of the individual can never be disconnected from the organisational system or systems they are part of. After all, our personal experience is influenced by who we are, by the roles we take or get designated, by the organisation and its environment.
Reviews

Pauline is one of the coaches the European Cultural Foundation works with regularly for individual coaching of our employees. It is amazing to see the immediate effect of the coaching on her coachees, such as increased self-awareness, deepened understanding of the work role and insight into the organisational dynamics at play. Pauline works with integrity and challenges her coachees in a respectful and supportive way to take responsibility for their personal and professional development, often resulting in the un-locking of hidden strengths and talents. The coaching Pauline offers usually is not over once the trajectory has stopped: It rather has a long-lasting effect on our people who seem to take their learnings along in a sustainable and translatable way. On top of that, Pauline is a reliable and trustworthy contractor and pleasant to work with from A to Z.

The great quality of Pauline is that she can always establish a connection between the individual or the team on one side and the business context on the other side. She combines deep knowledge about the human mind and social systems with extensive experience and insight into organisations, both in the public and private sectors. Good coaches and good consultants can be found, but individuals who unite both qualities are rare. Pauline is one of them.

Over the past 8 years Pauline has serviced various programs with us. Both individual coaching-sessions and peervision-groups. Her style is characterised by carefulness, asking the right questions, deep listening. Due to the bond she creates with the employees/clients involved, people dare to go a step deeper in their process. You can feel her involvement and connection with the organisation and its specific dynamics. She is a pleasant and challenging partner for me and HR colleagues to discuss about people and culture related matters. It is a pleasure to work with her!
-
What I appreciated in Pauline’s coaching approach, is that she uses the different lenses of my personal identity, my role in the organisation and the organisation itself. These lenses provided me with new insights about why I responded as I did in different contexts. We used these insights throughout my coaching trajectory to think about new perspectives and options to respond to new challenges and to reach my goals. Pauline is critical and steady, and creates a safe base to reflect and find inspiration to learn and grow.
-
With Pauline, within my complex context, I have been able to pinpoint where my own strengths lie: the unique contribution I can make within these systems and dynamics. She is a sparring partner with significant analytical abilities who simultaneously delves deeply into the personal aspect. Fantastic ‘food for thought’ combined with concrete action, which has greatly strengthened my approach to leadership.
-
I happily and confidently advise my staff, when coping with a coaching question, to start working with Pauline. She has got this exceptional talent to identify almost directly, based upon her strong observation and listening skills, what the issue might be and to address this in a containing, transparent and constructive way. Her style of reflection on behaviour prevents defensive responses and her coaching is always being well received and she sets people in motion. Everyone in my team who has worked with Pauline looks back on it with great pleasure. And of course each time I myself also learn from her!
