Guy Sanders

Guy is a practical, outcome focused business leader with Australian and international experience. Guy started providing consulting, coaching and mentoring services focusing on facilitating and supporting organisations (across a range of industries in both the private and public sectors) with the development and execution of their business strategies, with reviewing, realigning and re-focusing their business operating models on their strategic objectives, and with coaching, mentoring and supporting leaders and business owners with their ongoing development, growth and change.

Guy’s coaching process is tailored to each individual leader’s needs. Coaching engagements can be short term arrangements aimed at addressing a specific issue or longer-term arrangements aimed at strengthening broad leadership capabilities. Guy’s coaching process typically follows the following steps: 

1. Understanding the individual’s specific goals, needs and the scope of the support required. 
2. Identifying and agreeing strengths and areas where greater development is required. 
3. Discussing real scenarios that are challenging and stymieing progress and what could lie behind this. 
4. Discussing and agreeing priorities for improvement and/or where quick wins are possible to build confidence and momentum.
5. Role playing new alternative approaches in a safe environment. 
6. Trying alternative approaches in the real world. 
7. Reviewing what works and why and what doesn’t work and why. While many of Guy’s coaching engagements move to ad hoc sounding board conversations after 6 – 12 months, his ultimate goal for each engagement is to get each individual leader to the stage where they have the right processes and skills that enable accurate self-reflection and the confidence to work through the most complex scenarios themselves.

Guy achieves his best results with individuals who have strong personal aspirations to grow and to become better leaders. This can range from owners of start-ups, small to medium businesses, right through to managers and leaders of large scale, complex organisations in the private or public sector. 

Guy has supported people and organisations within a wide range of industries, in both the private and public sector, not for profit organisations, large scale corporates and small to medium businesses. As a trusted expert in his field, Guy has successfully collaborated with prominent clients such as the Public Sector Commission, Lotterywest, the WA Health Dept (Health Support Services), Sonic Healthcare, SeaHarvest, DevelopmentWA, the Mental Health Advocacy Service, Adecco, WA Primary Health Alliance and the Town of Cambridge. His proven track record speaks to his ability to navigate complex challenges and drive positive change for the individuals and organisations he serves.
