Kanchan is an Executive Coach; her career has taken her from caring for patients, through leading healthcare professionals to caring for leaders. She has extensive leadership experience having been the Chief Medical Officer and Deputy Chief Executive on the Board of a large UK NHS Hospital Trust.
During her seven years in post, Kanchan led them through the acquisition of a neighbouring hospital and led the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She have learned a lot from leading during troubled times. She understand that even at that the best of times, being a leader can be lonely and that juggling multiple stakeholders can be stressful. Kanchan also knows that having the confidence to realise and deliver your vision is exhilarating and provides immense personal and professional satisfaction.
Kanchan’s primary area of focus is healthcare leaders as she has been a doctor for over 30 years. However, her clients also include leaders in other industries from law, banking and academia to those in the creative industries.
Kanchan’s approach:
Life is all about people and the relationships between them. Kanchan knows how to build rapport and trust in a psychologically safe and confidential environment. She has been doing this all her professional life. Kanchan uses a variety of integrative techniques, but she is consistent in her warmth and humour. She is led by her clients, either holding them to account or, simply asking questions, listening deeply and seeing where the relationship takes them. She aims to raise her clients’ self- awareness so that they can act by choice and with intention rather than out of habit.
An important part of Kanchan’s approach is that she does not limit the conversation to work so she can discuss boundaries and well-being as much as business plans and forecasts. Repeated thought patterns learned in childhood can sabotage in adulthood. Kanchan uncovers these in a sensitive and respectful way in the service of her clients’ development. Self-knowledge and resilience are essential for sustained leadership.
Kanchan’s passion is to enable leaders to be the best they can be.
