Sometimes leaders need support getting out of their own way! In its most simple form, that’s what we do – help leaders get out of their own way and live their potential.We specialise in working with leaders who are new to their role and seeking support to maximise their potential, or who may have consolidated their current role and be ready to propel themselves and their leadership to the next level. We also offer executive coaching to experienced leaders.

Our clients are leaders from the corporate, government and community sectors. All have in common a desire to move outside their comfort zone, achieve their goals, and live their full potential. [close]

Coaching requires a significant personal investment from you. You must be ready to step outside your comfort zone and willing to be honest with yourself. Committing time for reflection and action is critical for your success. Coaching is very personal and each coaching program is different. Your program will be tailored to suit you, your needs and learning style.The financial investment you will make in the coaching relationship depends on the length and type of program best for you. After a conversation with you to understand your goals and learning style, we will have all the knowledge we need to assess this. [close]

Boost your organisation’s performance “When we set big hairy audacious goals for the organisation, I thought ‘Wow – it would be amazing if that happened.’ It seemed almost impossible! The impossible goals we set have become consciously and unconsciously embedded. At some point these were normalised and I’m going for them. I can see elements of the goals starting to successfully unfold.”
Executive Director, Victorian Dance Company

Overcome and learn from your leadership challenges “There’s a lot of loneliness in this position. The advantage is that this coaching is not just work related. It is me the person. It’s experiential and visual. It takes thoughts out of my head, and then it’s not easy to trick myself.”
CEO, Victorian Peak Body

Thrive through a challenging period “I can’t believe how much you have given me. I truly appreciate your expertise and dedication and thank you so much for helping guide me through what has probably been the most challenged I have ever been.”
Training and Development Manager, top Melbourne restaurant

“I entered my first coaching session as a bit of a cynic. I had met Corrinne briefly and was super impressed by her openness and intelligence. After two coaching sessions I felt a new surge of positivity and a commitment to really own up to some of my behaviours and reflect on how my approaches might be impacting on others. I have a logical brain that needs to understand the whys, how’s and challenge things until they ‘click’. Corrinne was quick to recognise this and her explanations ensured I had a good understanding of the science behind her practice. During and after coaching I confronted things I never thought I would be able to – with confidence, respect and understanding. Now when I catch myself starting to follow old patterns I am more aware and have some great tools to work through to keep me committed to a rewarding and happy future.”
CEO of Community Development Organisation

Find an easier way “Coaching has made what once would have seemed impossible, now do-able.”
Executive Director, Victorian Dance Company

“Having someone at the end of the phone while I was going through hell was utterly invaluable. Your words of wisdom during it all, not to mention the absolute kindness and care with which you dealt with me, were extraordinary.”
Senior Leader, Industry Association

Achieve life balance “You helped me to achieve balance and given me the tools to live an extraordinary future. Specifically I enjoyed your visual approach and the way you guided me to reach my own solutions, while constantly challenging my thought patterns. From a strictly professional perspective, coaching has benefited me by realigning core values; feeling more in control; helping me avoid burn out.”
Training and Development Manager, top Melbourne restaurant

“This has been such a life changing experience in every aspect. If only you could see the whole change in our house. The flow on affect is huge. This affects so many other people. I’ve never really done drugs before, but I feel like I am on happy drugs – it’s a natural happy high feeling.”
IT Team Leader, Local Government

Improve relationships and increase your influence “Coaching is having a strong impact on me and my colleagues. I can feel myself being different – more confident, happier and assertive. I am enjoying my femininity for the first time ever.”
CEO Arts Organisation

“Last night my wife said ‘Tell Corrinne that our personal relationship has blossomed since you started coaching’.”
Chief Financial Officer, Construction Industry

Gain confidence to let the real you shine
“The most useful insight I have had is that confidence can be learned, and it isn’t just a personal trait. Coaching has challenged my ‘old’ ideas of what I was and who I could be.”
Lawyer

Replace old habits with behaviours that better serve you
“Reflection is not something I allow much time for in my life. And the truth is that coaching has pushed me way beyond reflection. And that’s been valuable. Knowledge is power. It gives me the option to do something about it if I chose!”
CEO, Victorian Peak Body

“My work with you has not been so much about new insights, but the permission and safety to express and confront existing self-insights and beliefs. Where these have been negative beliefs, it has been very useful to confront them and discuss how to deal with these beliefs.”
Corporate Consultant

Foster and implement change in your life
“As my coaching journey continues I am gaining perspective and clarity. I find myself challenging my thoughts. I now think more clearly before I speak and take action – and I then I think again post thought and action. I am making change for myself!”
CEO, NFP Arts Organisation

“Corrinne is an inspiring and wonderful coach. She came into my life at a challenging time when her unique blend of warmth, creativity, sensitivity and pragmatism was greatly appreciated. Corrinne is someone who lives her values and whose passion and commitment to seeing individuals succeed is magnetic. Working with Corrinne enabled me to develop a ‘toolkit’ which increased my self-belief and confidence at a time when such was difficult to muster. Without Corrinne’s support I would not have taken a significant step in my career and landed my dream job!”
Community Relations Manager, National Health Promotion Organisation

Support a new leader
“My inexperienced manager was struggling with coping with effective staff management and a hectic work schedule. Working in a small and often intense environment (and being a new CEO myself) meant that I was unable to provide the focussed attention she required to develop. Working with Extraordinary Future took her out of the work environment and gave her a chance to focus on her development in a supportive and directed fashion. The end result is a manager who is confident with her decisions and actions, and who is thoughtful about the consequences of her decisions and actions. She is happier and more effective, and so is her team (and her boss!).”
CEO of Arts Organisation

“You really listened to me and tailored my coaching to my specific needs and goals. You shifted gear when certain times/sessions were difficult. You were amazingly supportive and positive, setting a wonderful example for the type of person I want to be!”
