HOW I CAN HELP:
General Coaching:
Talking through issues with somebody trained to listen, question, and at times challenge enables you to learn more about yourself, why you do things and what you can do to change. Uncovering the real reasons behind limiting behaviours and beliefs can empower you to achieve where you may not have done before.
Business Coaching:
In the workplace having somebody outside, objective, non-judgmental and confidential to talk to can help you deal with issues and free yourself up to better perform.
Business coaching can also be used to help you clarify where you want to go and how you are going to get there. By setting goals, committing to actions and understanding what has been holding you back empowers you to find success.
Public Speaking & Communication Skills:
I am also an experienced public speaking, presentation skills and communication (both verbal and non-verbal) specialist. I work with individuals and groups to reduce fear, build confidence and skill. Becoming a confident public speaker and understanding how communication style affects relationships, success and achievement can have a huge impact on your working and personal life.
Leadership:
I often work with new leaders or leaders who would like to feel more confident or improve their leadership style. Coaching can help by increasing understanding of hidden issues and beliefs, increasing understanding of how to maximise potential in others and handle teams and group dynamics. Part of leadership is simply about communicating that leadership, thus leadership coaching often involves looking at your communication skills and style, your group communication needs and how you can clarify your expression.
Career & Interview:
I work with people who would like to change their career, apply for a new job or get a promotion. Coaching can help you identify your strengths and what you value and are really looking for. We look at areas you have struggled in before and how you can overcome these and how you can find your perfect job. We prepare for interviews by looking at your C.V. and the job descriptions, practising interview questions and building your confidence, communication and presentation style.
Group Coaching (Training):
I also provide training to groups of 6+ in any of the above, particularly public speaking, presentation skills, leadership and maximising potential. I frequently work with teachers and aspiring leaders.
Young People & Schools:
Coaching can be really beneficial for young people. It can help build their self-esteem and belief in themselves. It can also help clarify where they want to go and what they want to do, giving them vision, a plan and confidence.
HOW I WORK:
I see people face to face in Wellington, Somerset and also use the internet and telephone for coaching anywhere in the world. Sessions are between one and two hours long and most clients purchase a package of six sessions at a time.
The Initial Appointment:
The initial appointment is where we discuss what you hope to achieve through coaching and you can ask me questions about how I work. We agree at this appointment (which is free) how often we will hold sessions, how long they will be and what your goals are during coaching. This session is about 45 minutes long.
Coaching:
After all the details have been agreed at the initial appointment coaching begins in earnest. Each session will be focused on your overall goals with flexibility to address new issues and also take into account any changes in goals. At the end of your package of sessions, or when you decide to stop we review how far you have come, celebrate your successes and look to the future.

Experience:
I have always had an interest in people's growth and development. I worked for many years as a senior manager, where staff development was central to my role.

I am also a public speaking and communications specialist and provide individual coaching and group training.
