Coaching

Get clarity. Obtain your vision.

Coaching

Real conversations. Clear direction. Practical momentum.

Coaching with Blue Dog Culture is designed to cut through the noise, spark insight, and shift behaviour. Whether you're an emerging leader, a seasoned exec, or a team navigating complexity, our coaching options support you to lead with more courage, clarity and connection.

Our coaching work is shaped by real-world experience and built for meaningful impact. No fluff. No vague advice. Just the right mix of support, stretch and space to grow.

We offer three distinct coaching formats:

  • Leadership Coaching

  • Team Coaching

  • Walk & Coach

Coaching with Depth and Direction

Our coaching packages start with a minimum of six sessions over four to six months to create real momentum, not just surface-level change.

Depending on your goals, we can integrate the Emotional Culture Deck or tailored assessment tools to support deeper insight and lasting growth. This is about meaningful, transformative development that shifts how you lead and show up.

Coaching can be self-funded or supported by your organisation. Either way, it’s a powerful investment in your leadership and impact.

    Working with Helen from Blue Dog Culture was one of the most rewarding coaching experiences I’ve had. Across several sessions, she helped me make sense of patterns in my thinking and behaviour that were getting in my way. Things I hadn’t even realised I was doing until she gently held up the mirror.

    Despite my focus often bouncing around like a caffeinated puppy, Helen met me where I was at. She was calm, patient, and always with a well-timed challenge or creative nudge. Her ability to keep me on track without ever making me feel rushed or wrong is a real skill.

    She also brought humour and creativity to the process. Each session was fun, and I came away from each session feeling like I’d genuinely progressed, and more importantly, that I’d found my own answers.

    If you’re after a coach who’s clever, kind, and unafraid to use a little unconventional genius to get results, Helen’s your person.

    I had the pleasure of working with Helen, early  February, 2025 where she coached me through my some of the challenges I had with developing my business.

    She immediately put me at ease and was able to help me arrive at the real crux of the issue quickly. 

    She has a no nonsense approach, pushes you into where you really need to go yet all the while is empathetic and caring. You feel that Helen is really on your side. She is incredibly perceptive too!

    I would definitely recommend her to others!

    I recently had the pleasure of being coached by Helen, and it was such a positive experience. I don’t think I was the easiest person to coach, but she was so patient with me and created a safe, supportive space that allowed me to move at my own pace.

    Her kindness and professionalism really stood out, and I appreciated how she gently challenged my thinking in ways that helped me gain clarity and make meaningful progress. She has a real gift for growing insight and guiding you toward your goals without ever feeling rushed or pressured.

    If you're looking for a coach who gives you the time and space that you need but knows exactly how and when to challenge you then Helen will be the perfect coach for you. I could not recommend her more!

So, you want to jump into coaching? That’s a big deal, and we are stoked to be alongside you for it. Before we get rolling, let’s get on the same page about how this all works. 

Coaching is all about moving forward. Figuring out what matters to you and what you want to get out of this time together. It’s not counselling, it’s not consulting, and I’m not here to hand you all the answers. Instead, it’s about having some really good conversations that get you thinking, uncovering those lightbulb moments, and finding what’s going to move you forward. And everything we talk about? Completely confidential and judgement-free. 

Ready to hit the trail?

Let’s get this coaching journey started together

We’ll kick off by getting clear on what you’re hoping to achieve. That might take a bit to unpack, and that’s totally fine. Once we’ve got some solid goals in place, we’ll work out a plan to make them happen and then get into action mode. 

Sound good so far? 

Here’s the deal. Our job is to keep us on track and keep the momentum going. Your job? Show up ready to dive in, be open, and think out loud. And hey, if something’s not clicking or you’re not feeling it, tell me. I’m all about keeping this real and making it work for you. 

We started Blue Dog Culture because we love it when people see what’s possible beyond the usual way of doing things. We bring courage and curiosity into the room, asking the tough questions, and getting to the heart of what really matters to you. 

We cannot wait to get started with you!
