An executive and leadership Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF), with excellent supporting skills in strategic thinking, accessing inner wisdom, mindfulness, organisational development, project and programme management. Joseph enjoys helping leaders to solve business problems when they pay attention to self-knowledge, learning and drawing on their inner wisdom. This is especially so when they do ethical business, generating income and growth whilst having a positive impact on their employees and helping to create a fairer society. He looks out for opportunities to work with established entrepreneurs and with people of Black heritage, to elicit more benefit for themselves, to employers and to society by trusting their inner wisdom.
Working through Ruuvand Ltd, he receives clients from a belief in infinite possibility, theirs and his. He employs curiosity and listening as his core tools to trigger mindset shifts, unlock insights, solutions and engage with challenges. Being “who you are being” is often the key to success in any situation. Joseph’s presence is experienced as calming and energising at the same time. He forms a partnership, with the client clearly having the larger stake in their success, however daunting the challenge. He builds rapport quickly and remains light but challenging in conversations to help keep clients on track and to stretch. Joseph is curious about each client’s well-being – physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
Strategic thinking with clear purpose, comes naturally to Joseph and has been especially useful in being a sounding-board for clients, in his management and non-executive Board roles during the past 19 years. He is currently a Non-Executive Director of the British Acupuncture Council where he leads on Supervision and Mentoring, serves in Finance and Nominations. Holding a BSc (Hons) Psychology and MBA, he led organisational development projects and taught Strategy at Master’s level in Middlesex Business School.
