Joyce McQuilken

Profile

I run my own coaching practice 'Start Here!' based in Blairgowrie, Perthshire. Through this I coach individuals one to one, and also deliver workshops seminars and courses on coaching and personal development related topics. My coaching is informed by the ethical and professional standards and competencies of the International Coach Federation. I work in full partnership with you, following your agenda for coaching, using a clear framework to enable you to set inspiring goals, create an overarching plan and set achievable actions to take you forward.

Throughout this process I will support and encourage you in reflection and new thinking, and in gaining an insight into your true potential, and any traits, habits or beliefs which may be holding you back from achieving it. I will challenge and stretch you and offer feedback to aid your development. I use a whole person approach, which can enable you to make sustainable and often transformational changes in your life and/or work..

Testimonials

"Joyce coached me for 6 sessions as part of my own coach training. Joyce has many of the excellent traits you would look for in a coach: warmth, empathy, a good listener, the ability to challenge appropriately, ability to motivate and push you outside of your comfort zone. I learnt many things about myself and feel more able to achieve a range of long term goals I have set myself. I can recommend Joyce as an excellent coach who is caring and professional."
