Edwina Bowen - Executive Coaching

I'm Edwina Bowen

I am an Executive Coach, accredited with the Association For Coaching.

I have a particular interest in Emotional Intelligence and believe that developing the skills to manage oneself and others more effectively maximises our influence as a leader.

I am certified to use the RocheMartin Emotional Capital Report tool to assess key emotional intelligence skills and interpret leadership potential. The ECR reports provide narrative descriptions of the leadership behaviours associated with Emotional Intelligence competencies, as well as strategies for developing emotional intelligence, and an action plan to build leadership abilities.

‘In the past jobs were about muscles, now they’re about brains, but in future they’ll be about the heart.’ - Minouche Shafik, April 2018

I have worked as a parenting coach and coach mentor for Parent Gym for six years, delivering parenting workshops in schools across London. Prior to coaching, I worked for ten years in investment banking, starting as a Corporate Finance graduate with JP Morgan, before moving to Equity Sales roles at UBS, DLJ and Lehman Brothers.

I hold a degree in International Commerce with French (BComm). from University College Dublin, and I am working towards a PhD in Creative Writing.

My Services

The coaching process is bespoke. My role is to encourage clients to develop self-awareness and responsibility, with a particular focus on emotional intelligence. Clients commend my empathetic and pragmatic approach, and value my ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly and sensitively. I aim to create an environment in which the client can challenge their thinking, and to stimulate new ideas and approaches through intelligent debate. My sessions are practical; we will look to close the gap between personal insights and their day-to-day application, thus enabling the client to improve their decision-making, communication and influencing skills.

Testimonials

Director and Board member

Design and Build Company

The coaching gave me a huge understanding of who I am, most people (successful or on a career path) will have an understanding of their key strengths. It enabled me to look at my weaker points and how I could seek to improve them. Edwina was a great sounding board; my industry is quite specialised, and I found myself being able to converse openly with her and always had engaging discussions.

Global Head of Group Marketing

FT250 Company

An inspiring process and exceptionally supportive. I’d recommend Edwina without hesitation. She helped me reconnect with my inner coach and think especially about how I can help my direct report and wider team members grow both professionally and personally.

Equity Sales-Trader

Global Investment Bank

Edwina instantly made me feel comfortable in discussing my career goals and openly discussing my challenges. She was greatly helpful in bringing structure to these, allowing me to create an actionable and achievable plan, and giving me the tools to constructively approach any future challenges or opportunities myself.

Head of Risk and Compliance

London-based Law Firm

Edwina’s coaching was particularly beneficial as I needed insight into whether to continue in my current role or move. Edwina helped me zone out of the detail and review my position. Further, she assisted me to come up with a plan of action in order to tackle more immediate blocks in my daily role. In one moment, it became crystal clear to me that I was in the right place (role) at the right time (organisation) – that clarity was particularly powerful and has reignited my passion for my work.

Senior Manager

Global Investment Bank

The coaching process is very supportive, yet Edwina has the skill to cut through to the real problem, and I’d often think back on our sessions afterwards and take even more from them than I got on the day. I’d highly recommend Edwina for anyone returning to work after a break, starting a challenging role or just trying to balance work/family life.

Senior Civil Servant

Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

I really valued Edwina’s enthusiasm for bringing multiple perspectives to my work through the use of a structured series of coaching tools. These helped me identify concrete ways to improve my performance and then put them into action.
