Yvette Elcock is an experienced coach, coach mentor, coaching supervisor, and facilitator with over thirty years’ service in the people development arena across a wide range of businesses, industries, countries, and cultures.

She attended ADHD for All and ADHD Coming Home in 2023 and gained transformational learning that enables her to better manage family members and clients with or without a formal diagnosis. Harnessing a deeper awareness of the strengths and stretches for those with this difference, she explores the whole arena of difference much more explicitly in all her work and sees the benefits this brings for her relationships with those with whom she works and plays! Her ongoing focus is on moving from deeper awareness to stronger exploration, rather than explanation, of the intersectionality of all differences.

Personally, she works with energy, effort, and enthusiasm to create a safe, stretching, and confidential way of working that enhances and enriches her working relationships by:

• Building a mutually respectful and trusting relationship – deepening the quality of the relationship to enable transformation.

• Working creatively to explore and celebrate success, and review and take learning from the difficult or different – acknowledging and balancing the inner voice.

• Building self-awareness of the potential for personal and cross-cultural biases to be unknowingly present – facilitating in-the-moment self-regulation.

• Creating powerful and meaningful client insights from astute observation brought about by ‘fully present’ listening – listening to what my client says and does not say, and where the energy lies.

Professionally,

• As a coach she works to energise potential, engage people, and enhance performance. She balances support and challenge, empathy and rigour, and fun and seriousness to create new possibilities and opportunities for the client to determine what comes next to add value to them.

• As a mentor coach she builds a pragmatic understanding of accreditation processes through self-assessment, observed recordings, and a deep dive into ethics, to ground the theory of a coaching accreditation process into the reality of working with a client.

• As a coach supervisor she provides an opportunity for active reflection on professional coaching practice to bring about reflective action when at work; highlighting the richness and potential for added value of the coaching approach.

• As a facilitator she uses a range of proven techniques to facilitate self-discovery, personal growth and accountability for the art and science of development – experimenting and enquiring with a range of models and frameworks.

She values authenticity through integrity, partnership, professionalism, and prides herself on collaborating flexibly with clients to build and sustain strong, trusting relationships that enable others to deliver against challenging development goals, the organisation’s agenda, and other broader contexts.

She has her own coach with whom she works on business and personal development goals alongside a coach supervisor who is a cornerstone of my ongoing development agenda.
