approach & influences

Kevin Caulfield

Ongoing personal and professional development and continuous learning have been important to Kevin throughout his career. He firmly believes that in order to lead others effectively you first need to know yourself extremely well. How emotionally and socially aware are you? In what environments are you at your best? Which skills and behaviours can you leverage and which do you need to develop? What values do you hold dear? Which beliefs empower you and which limit you? Who are you and how do you show up? What is your purpose and mission?

Kevin believes that coaching is an extremely powerful means to develop leaders. And effective coaching affects not only the client, but the team and organisation around them.

His experience spans over 25 years in business including 16 years as a corporate and investment banker at JPMorgan Chase and CIBC World Markets with assignments in New York, Mexico City, the Caribbean, Paris and London. He has been coaching top and emerging talent primarily in the financial and professional services sectors since 1999.

Kevin is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation, a Founding Associate Member of the Association for Coaching and an NLP Master Practitioner, and has additional training in Systemic Organisational Practice and Clean Language. He is also accredited to use psychometric tools including the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, the Bar-On measure of Emotional Intelligence and the Personal Directions indicator of individual drivers and motivators.

Originally from the USA, London has been his home since 1993. He loves travel, architecture, gardens, music and languages and speaks fluent French, passable Spanish and just enough Italian and German to get into trouble.

This happens in the intimacy of individual work and also with teams and businesses.

Andy King

Andy runs Kingsight Coaching and is focussed on coaching executives and teams up to board level - as he believes positive intervention today has the biggest impact on business tomorrow.

During his 30 years of commercial experience, Andy confirmed his conviction that executives' potential was rarely fully utilised and that mentoring high achievers to better realise their capabilities was the most rewarding aspect of his work. He experienced the benefits of being professionally coached, and found the value of an independent view backed by credible experience enormously helpful at key moments in his career.

Andy has a Certificate in Coaching through Coaching Development, an International Coaching Federation accredited coach training programme, is an Affiliate Member of the Association for Coaching and has completed Clean Language and Emergent Knowledge training programmes with Angela Dundar, as well as training in Systems and Team coaching.
