How We Work

We offer everyone a FREE consultation because it is important to us that you work with the Coach who is right for you

Coaching, what is it?

Coaching is about building on and growing your potential.  It is about having a vision for how you want things to be.  Coaching is about working out what you want and then achieving that through creating new goals.  Coaching is asking questions rather than telling, it is a conversation with a purpose resulting in the individual setting goals to develop skills, enhance performance, develop personally or professionally.  Coaching looks to the future, embraces change and allows individuals to grow through it.  Coaching facilitates a shift in attitude and perspective and enhances emotional intelligence. 

How do we do it?

Ok that's a definition of Coaching lets talk now about how we do it. 

We believe that people have a fundamental need to be heard, all too often this is missing in peoples lives.  We may think that our partners, family and friends are listening to us but how often have you felt that they are paying lip service because they have things going on in their own lives.  We will listen, and give you our undivided attention.  We will ask you and help you to achieve more than you would on your own.  We will help you to keep focus on what you want to achieve.  We will ask you powerful questions that will make you think deeply and challenge your current viewpoint, opening your mind to new possibilities.  Although we have been Coaching for many years we believe that our life experience plays a huge part in the support we offer.  We will be behind you 100%.  In return we ask that you be truly committed to the Coaching process and the goals you set yourself, it would be great to wave a magic wand but the truth is it takes effort.  No one can make you be Coached it has to be your decision, you will know when the time is right for you.

In Summary, we will:

 

  • Create a safe and encouraging place for you to explore your life from a deeper perspective
  • Ask questions that really make you think
  • Help you access your own personal wisdom and help you remain true to yourself and your values
  • Tell you what we see in a respectful way
  • Challenge self-limiting thoughts and behaviours that don't help you
  • Stop you from selling yourself short
  • Hold your vision of your best life uppermost in our mind and use it as the foundation for our work
  • Believe in you, your future and possibilities, even when you don't
  • Hold you to the commitments you make and to creating the life you desire

What format does Coaching take?

We can offer Coaching in any of the following formats;

  • Face to face
  • Telephone/Webcam
  • Email 

Distance is really no object I welcome and enjoy working with people from overseas who are happy to have telephone/Webcam or email Coaching

The most important thing to consider when choosing your preferred method is what feels right for you and your time available.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream ♦ A goal without a plan is just a wish ♦ What is not started today is never finished tomorrow ♦ Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts ♦ What we see depends mainly on what we look for ♦ Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose? ♦ A positive attitude brings strength, energy and initiative ♦ When you say "I can", and expect success, you fill yourself with confidence and happiness ♦ Clear thoughts produce clear results ♦ When you have control over your thoughts, you have control over your life ♦ Affirm the positive, visualize the positive and expect the positive
