Coaching

Trained as a coach by the Tavistock Institute, Elizabeth Harlow appreciates individuals and teams as inter-relational entities and understands them as contributing to, but also resulting from, the wider organizational and social context in which they exist. Alongside this ‘systems thinking’, her coaching methods includes a respect for the emotional content of organizational functioning, as well as each individual’s particular needs and approach to work, reflection and change. This analytically rich approach to understanding problems and/or developmental processes eschews fixed cause-effect solutions, and means that the negotiated route forward results from insight and dialogue.Elizabeth Harlow is particularly experienced in negotiating achievable contractual aims, as well as facilitating in-depth reflection, and offering alternative perspectives that provide a vision for the way forward.
