At Goals and Achievement we specialise in helping highly talented professional people like you to break through the glass ceiling, realise your professional potential and receive the rewards that you deserve.

Over the last 29 years Duncan Brodie, Managing Director has worked with hundreds of professional people who were great at the technical aspects of the job but struggled when it came to getting beyond a certain level in their career.  

The Big Myth: How successful you are in your career is all about how technically competent you are in your professional field 

You obviously need to keep your professional skills up to date but what we have discovered is that what really determines how far you progress is not your technical skills but what are commonly referred to as softer skills and more specifically your ability to lead and manage. 

If you are to really progress to the the level that you desire and deserve in your career there are many things that you need to master, including:

• Your ability to prioritise your own work so that you get the most important things done in the limited time that you have available.

• Being able to stand back from the detail and keep focus on the bigger picture.

• Your ability to identify and resolve problems effectively.

• Your skills at setting a clear direction for the orgnisation, function, team or project that you are leading.

• Anticipating the need for and successfully making change.

• Presenting and communicating your messages effectively.

• Getting teams to work effectively.

• Effectively delegating and empowering others. 

• Keeping people motivated.

• Dealing with difficult situations whether these are staff, customers, process or some other situation. 

The good news is that with the right support it is possible to become as highly successful as a  leader or manager as you are in your area of professional expertise and achieve the real success you desire.

At Goals and Achievements we specialise in helping highly rated accountants and health professionals to develop the skills and attribues to become highly successful managers and leaders and achieve career and personal success they deserve.

Since 2006, we have helped hundreds of accountants, doctors and other professionals individually and in groups to develop their management and leadership skills.  Drawing heavily on his 25 years working in accountancy in major organisations where Duncan successfully progressed from Accounts Clerk to Financial Director, some of the challenges he has helped clients address, include:

• Sorting out priorities and improving their personal productivity so that they achieve better results from the time at their disposal.

• Getting across their messages more effectively both in formal presentations and in meetings.

• Dealing with staff perfomance issues

• Getting different parts of the organisation to work together rather than in silos.

• Having the confidence to speak up and make their contribution outside of their own professional discipline.

• Overcoming some of their personal limiting beliefs and myths that were getting in the way of delivering results.

• Progressing their careers by more effectively presenting themselves, their skills, experience and personal attributes.

• Building self confidence

• Clarifying future career aspirations
