Kate Chambers - K C Associates

Profile

I provide Effective Personal Coaching. My background in teaching, adult education and guidance, and my considerable experience in working 1-1 with adults using person centred approaches has enabled me to find creative ways of working with a variety of individuals in defining and realizing their potential.
The process is individualised to suit your needs. Typically we begin with an initial introductory session that introduces you to the personal coaching process, this takes you through exercises assisting you to set 3 goal areas for you to work on.
You then have the option to commit to coaching and preparatory work is explained.
Further sessions take place on a weekly or two weekly basis focussing on the goal areas you identified in your initial session. Looking at one goal at a time a coaching plan is developed and worked through over the next three months.
Further sessions involve reviewing progress on and setting new actions for each of your 3 goal areas.
A forward plan is in put place to assist in keeping progress going once coaching ends.
I aim to pass the process on to you over time, in this way you can carry on YOUR process. A written summary is offered where your successes, insights gained and achievements are celebrated.
