Sue Scott-From Compliance to Coaching

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

This week we feature another life after Compliance story with Sue Scott.  Sue, originally from South Africa and currently residing in the United Kingdom, is a Compliance veteran with 20 years of experience at HSBC. But this episode doesn’t focus on financial services Compliance, instead we hear Sue’s journey as she considered moving away from Compliance and trying something new.  Mary asks her about her thought process and considerations in making such a big life decision and Sue shares what some of the biggest challenges are for clients at the moment (we’re willing to bet the majority of the Great Women in Compliance audience will find something here relatable – mom/mum guilt anyone?) and Sue shares some coaching advice for how to address some of these issues.

 If you’ve been thinking about getting into coaching, moving into a new area or simply advance planning for your future, this episode will provide helpful considerations and inspiration for taking the big leap – or preparing to do so at least!

For those of you who find that mom/mum guilt is something that resonates deeply, keep an eye out for our upcoming episode with Karina Vollmer where we dive into that challenge in further detail with advice from Karina, a Chief Compliance Officer working mum, or mom as she would say.

The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings to listen in to.  If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it on your preferred podcast player to help other likeminded Ethics and Compliance professionals find it.  If you have a moment to leave a review at the same time, Mary and Lisa would be so grateful.  You can also find the GWIC podcast on Corporate Compliance Insights where Lisa and Mary have a landing page with additional information about them and the story of the podcast.  Corporate Compliance Insights is a much-appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down, What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).

Innovation in Compliance

Why You Need an Executive Coach, a Conversation with With Jeff Nally


Compliance is widely seen as black and white, but this week’s guest argues that there is a lot of thinking, decision making and ways to innovate inside the compliance space. Jeff Nally is an executive coach who has spent the last fourteen years using neuroscience to help business leaders think differently, make better decisions, and spark ideas, innovation and insight in others.
Listen to the episode now:

Jeff’s Approach to Coaching
Tom comments that using a brain-based approach seems antithetical to what lawyers generally do. He asks Jeff to describe his coaching method. Jeff replies that he’s not coaching around expertise; rather, he’s helping spark new ideas and innovations in their brains. A compliance issue could have multiple approaches. He’s teaching professionals to be better leaders, as well as how to ask thoughtful, reflective questions.
How to Know If Coaching is Right For You
Jeff says you should consider retaining a coach after you’ve maximized all the other training, development and leadership resources available to you, and you have stretch goals that you still need to achieve. A coach can help you make the changes you need to reach your goals. In addition, when you want to move to a higher level, the actions that brought you success in the past may not be the same things you’ll need to do to move ahead. Coaching can accelerate your growth to meet those new challenges. Jeff describes the coaching packages his company offers.
Breaking Down Silos and Convincing Management
Tom asks, Can an executive coach help a compliance practitioner think through having to break down silos within an organization? Yes, Jeff responds, and in addition to breaking down the silos, it’s all about the compliance professional’s relationship with those different stakeholders. You should think of the silos as stakeholder groups, he advises. Think about how to communicate well with them and be open to listening. 
Convince your management that you need an executive coach by pointing out the difference between a coach and a consultant. A coach knows how to ask questions and spark your thinking, which is what you need to help you perform better as a compliance professional. Also, show them the positive impact coaching will have on you and the organization. Tom comments that the service Jeff provides makes the compliance practitioner or the executive more innovative.
