About us

We're an executive coaching company. At the Listening Partnership, we know and value the results achieved through respectful listening. We see these outcomes time and time again. Our executive coaching will be an active partnership with you. Listening to each other will build the essential foundation of trust that makes any coaching relationship effective.

Our coaching approach will help you make sense of what is going on in yourself and within your business context. It provides the groundwork for powerful insights to emerge and for making crucial decisions more confidently. It is the springboard for taking the kind of strategic action that will bring about significant change.

Our coaching interventions will be supportive, challenging and systemic – moving beneath business as normal into longer term thinking, different perspectives and new solutions.

We understand that the world is full of multiple messages. Organisations, teams and careers are built on these stories. Our executive coaching will help you strategically harness personal, team and organisational narratives. Together we will identify and align their relevance and application to your current context and your future.

Nick Isbister and Jude Elliman are the founders of the company and the lead executive coaches and course trainers. They partner with a team of high calibre executive coaches.

We work across a variety of business sectors. These include: corporates; Professional Service Firms; Universities; Not-for-Profits and NGOs; Sector Skills Councils; SME's and individuals who want a confidential, private service.
