Profile

I coach a range of people who want to explore their vision and goals for the future whilst also wanting space for reflection on the present. Coaching results in greater personal clarity, motivation, self confidence and enthusiasm. Coaching is a powerful approach for effectively dealing with the new, the challenging or the unexpected by giving you space to reflect and gain insight into your personal goals. Coaching gives you greater insight into your capacities, skills, attitudes and values, and can help you to explore innovative and creative approaches to issues you have been dealing with already.

My coaching is based on the principle that you cant become someone youre not, you can only become more of who you are. Being authentic is being the real you working out who you are, what you want from life and achieving it. Coaching helps this by exploring your attitudes, beliefs and values and discussing your aims then setting goals for you to achieve them.

I work with an individual (or teams) over an agreed number of sessions and will work in partnership with you:
listening to understand the your situation from an objective and independent perspective
asking questions and coaching tools to help you identify solutions and actions for yourself to address issues, develop their skills or move forward in a particular situation.
supporting you creating your vision and in setting appropriate goals
challenging you on how you will measure your progress so you know what you have achieved and learns

Coaching can be provided face to face or on the telephone.

Coaching is suitable for anyone who wants to make changes in their lives and who wants to work in partnership with a coach. A coach doesnt give advice, guidance or answers so you need to be open and willing to create positive change with the support of your coach.

Coaching can focus on a whole range of subjects including:
Career development loving the job youre in or finding one you do
Achieving the work/life balance that suits you
Mid life choices
Stress Management
Increasing you confidence and self belief
Improving relationships
New business setup or
Leadership development and developing new skills
Increasing work performance and effectiveness
Improving management skills or handling a new role or promotion

I am particularly experienced in working with senior leaders and managers in organisations when it can be 'lonely at the top' and leadership challenges can be demanding. Executive Coaching can help develop self awareness and encourages more responsibility for direction enabling individuals to utilise key strengths more and overcome weaknesses or limiting behaviours. It can also help to align personal objectives with those of the business, which leads to increased motivation and improved business results.
