Individual coaching
Coaching is a conversation which uncovers learning and leads to action, a thought provoking and creative process which enables people to transform their thinking, make powerful choices and unlock their potential for fulfilment.
Coaching can bring many benefits, including fresh thinking about challenges, enhanced decision-making skills, increased confidence and improved relationships. Individuals who undertake coaching see big improvements in productivity, reaching their goals, and their satisfaction with life and work.
It is the coach’s job to:
Ask powerful questions, and listen to, discover and clarify what the client wants to achieve
Encourage client self-discovery
Unlock the skills and creativity which the client already possesses
Hold the client responsible and accountable
It is not the coach’s job to judge, instruct or advise.
COULD COACHING WORK FOR YOU?
Individuals choose to work with a coach for many different reasons, such as:
Low confidence
A desire to accelerate results
A lack of clarity about decisions and direction
Work and life are out of balance, creating problems
Core strengths need to be identified
AM I THE RIGHT COACH FOR YOU?
I provide coaching in video call, telephone and face-to-face sessions. I have a creative and pragmatic approach, based on experience as well as theory.
The coaching process works through a powerful and unique alliance between you and your coach, designed to inspire and stretch your thinking and potential.
Each client has unique requirements, and each coaching programme will be tailored to reflect that. However, there are three core principles which underpin my coaching:
All coaching starts with the belief that the client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole – absolutely capable of finding their own answers.
During the coaching sessions goals and commitments are developed and refined; between sessions, the client works to achieve these, with reviews and support from the coach.
Relevant models, tools and texts will be introduced as appropriate during the programme.
It is important to me to offer something back through my work as a Coach.
I offer 'Pay It Forward' coaching to individuals on low incomes and employees in voluntary sector organisations. This is agreed with the individual, on a case by case basis. In return I ask that the recipient 'pays it forward' – they agree at some future date to do something (not necessarily financial) for someone else, which helps that person in some way.
This is an agreement based entirely on trust, I don’t ask the individuals to report back. I have been lucky to have had the support I have needed throughout my life and career, and I was inspired by the concept of 'Suspended Coffee' to offer something back through my work as a Coach.
