Organisational and Leadership Partner
Associate Certified Coach, ICF

Organisations aren't abstract - they are made of people in a web of relationships. People in relationship are people in constant negotiation of power, connection and difference. 
I work with organisations and teams to solidify their moral anchors and relational dynamics during significant periods of change; so that they can respond to the crises of our time.

How to best prepare for and get the most out of coaching.

‘One of my biggest learnings in recent years has been that in the work of enabling societal change, 'use of self' is one of the most powerful tools there is.
To me, that means that who we are and how we relate to others is the bedrock of wider change in the world. Someone who deploys her 'use of self' beautifully is Roxana Bacian in her work of relational coaching for change-makers.’

For Social Impact Organisations
 

'I know the number of coaches in the world is growing, and it may seem overwhelming at times. However, there are coaches and there are coaches. If you're looking for a coach, look for one that walks their talk. Roxana is a social impact coach that does.'

 

- Rashmir Balasubramaniam

Are you a leader or organisation navigating a complex decision or ethical challenge?
Over the last five years I've supported leaders and organisations navigate significant moments of transition through a three-fold approach: 

Moral Anchoring
 

  • Solidify and reconnect with your values and principles for operating;

  • Meet external demands without sacrificing integrity and vision;

  • Recommit to each other and the purpose of your organisation.

    Read more about this here (blog post)

Iterative & Developmental
Process

  • Co-design the coaching programme and commit to a developmental learning journey;

  • Use presence, listening and intuition as well as data and cognition;

  • Set a clear direction, set goals and review outcomes iteratively.

  • Unearth the current emotional landscape of your organisation to restore momentum;

  • Increase comfort with conflict to leverage differences in the team;

  • Increase your team's collective ability
    to tolerate stress and uncertainty.

Resilient Relational Dynamics

Roxana provided me with a space to work through uncertainties and challenges around starting a new role and helped me to reach clarity in my own thinking and identify productive ways forward with useful prompts. 

 

I was moving into a senior role in a new part of the social impact sector. I was looking for a space to unpack my insecurities about returning to a leadership role as well as looking critically at the position of power that comes with being a funder.

 

I found it very useful to have a dedicated space to analyse how things were going as
I started my new role. Roxana helped me to identify the issues I needed to consider, how
I could make progress in my thinking and how I would know I had reached clarity on an issue. I’d recommend her for anyone who wants to take a step away from their day-to-day and find a way to move their thinking forward.
