Who we work with

Denzil’s skills, experience, judgment and common sense have wide application. 

Denzil has worked with large corporations, small businesses, state and national Government agencies, industry associations and not-for-profits.

As a coach and mentor, Denzil has had very successful and productive relationships with company directors, chief executives, senior executives and middle managers in all these sectors.

Our approach

No two situations are the same.

Accordingly, unlike the large consulting firms, Denzil Griffiths proudly offers a personalised, tailored solution which specifically addresses your problems – no standardised methodologies or one-size-fits-all ‘solution’ taken from manuals.

Regular and  honest communication is maintained with the client – there are no hidden surprises.

Executive Coach and Mentor

• Feel you’re not operating at your best?
• Need a sounding board for your strategies, plans, ideas?
• Need to be stretched or have a fresh perspective?
• Lonely at the top?                              

At one or more stages in your career, you or your organisation will consider retaining a coach or mentor – either for yourself or someone else. When that time comes, Denzil Griffiths should be your first choice. 

But first…there is often confusion about what these terms   mean. 

Coaching is an interactive process between a coach and a coachee aimed at developing the latter’s capabilities or solving performance problems. The process is based on technical assistance, personal support and individual challenge and is held together by a strong collaborative bond between the coach and coachee.  Coaching is essentially about your job and tends to be relatively short term in duration.

The benefits of coaching include:

• Overcoming performance difficulties
• Developing new or improved skills
• Increased productivity
• Creating promotable staff
• Improved staff retention, and
• Fostering a more positive workplace culture. 

Mentoring, on the other hand, comes from the Greek word mentor, meaning a wise and trusted advisor.  Mentoring is about fostering an individual’s personal and professional growth and learning by a mentor whose useful knowledge, experience, skills and expertise can inform, advise and guide the mentoree.  Mentoring is usually an on-going process, often lasting for years when value continues to be generated.  Thus, the scope of mentoring is far wider than coaching, which should really be seen as a subset of mentoring.  Mentoring is not limited to the development of some narrow set of skills or behaviours, but addresses the whole person, including his or her career.

The benefits of mentoring to the individual are many and include

• a much clearer focus and sense of purpose,
• heightened appreciation of personal values and motivators,
• sharper goals and strategies,
• a well developed career plan and CV,
• useful contacts
• and most importantly, a trusted confidant you can talk to about anything… in the strictest confidentiality.

For the organisation, the development of important human assets and their retention in the organisation are very significant benefits.
