WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a transformative process aimed at enhancing individuals' lives. By accelerating personal growth and equipping clients with essential tools, coaches empower them to surmount obstacles and achieve their aspirations. Through profound questioning, coaches foster self-reflection, enabling clients to continually progress even beyond coaching sessions.
Coaching sessions are client-led and forward-looking, fostering empowerment and sustainable results. Coaches employ proven questioning and listening techniques to help employees define clear goals and develop effective strategies. By challenging existing beliefs and perspectives, coaching encourages creativity and promotes innovative problem-solving approaches.
As a supportive guide, coaches serve as sounding boards, prompting clients to reconsider their self-perceptions and approach to challenges. By fostering positive self-communication and strategic thinking, coaches aid in devising actionable plans, maintaining motivation, and ensuring goal alignment for optimal personal growth and success.

TESTIMONIALS
"My Coach, James Hudson, has helped me through some very challenging times during my career working in failing schools.
Whilst coaching me through scenarios, he has ensured I have always kept my end goal in sight whilst helping me work through any obstacles along the way. Towards the end of the 6 week programme, I was able to self-coach, using the techniques James had taught me. He challenged me, pushed me outside my comfort zone and I know I will continue to use the skills I have worked on during the sessions into the next stage of my career.
I thoroughly enjoyed being coached by James and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else." Lynette Clapham - Coaching client
"I would recommend AEGIS Mountain to anyone who requires a gentle ‘kick up the backside’ to get themselves out of a rut and moving forward.
My Coach, James Hudson is enthusiastic, positive and kind, at the same time as being straight-talking and not allowing you to feel sorry for yourself.
James’ timely input means that my business is now back on track, but if I ever get stuck in that rut again, he will be the first person I call." Jane Blakeborough - Coaching Client
"I met James a few years ago having been recommended to him by a friend. I'd been through a bad time with work and was finding it difficult to deal with. Worst of all I didn't know how to talk about what had happened even with my family and closest friends. James firstly put me at ease, encouraged me to hold nothing back and was a great listener. Over the next weeks we met often and he helped me understand and come to terms with my situation. His mentoring and advice gave me a new outlook on life and was the catalyst for a change in direction that was liberating and now going from strength to strength. Thanks James" Nick Dymoke-Marr - Managing Director at Langtons Gin Ltd
"I worked with James when I started at Hatch. He showed me some great techniques which I still use today. Although I had a good track record of selling wine Hatch was different to companies I worked for before. However I got off to a flying start and I defiantly think James was part of that." Alexander Greetham - Regional Sales Manager at Hatch Mansfield
"James is a highly infectious individual. He brings his enthusiasm and expertise in life coaching. He makes it easy to understand and set achievable but stretching goals. Always positive, very astute and takes a personal enjoyment in helping others succeed." Darren Douglas - Adviser Support Manager at Transact
"James is an accomplished Coach who has provided guidance and support to myself and colleagues. He focuses on the individual rather than the subject and takes the time to understand different learning styles.
James has the ability to develop people by drawing out their aspirations and has a reflective rather than directive approach and I would recommend him to any individual or business who may be looking to develop and implement a change in mind-set." Peter Thompson- Head of Operations at New Chapter
"James is probably one of the most passionate energetic individuals I have come across displaying huge leadership qualities along with a determined drive to succeed. James is self-driven and has the ability to take people on the journey with him because he believes 100% in goals setting. If anybody needs somebody to talk to about improving your confidence or just on how to take the next step to improve your life and believe in your abilities talk to James." Nick Lea - UK Sales Controller Catalyst Brands RTM.

SALES COACHING:
Salespeople are akin to business athletes, where confidence plays a pivotal role. Yet, confidence can fluctuate, affecting performance. That's why personalised coaching sessions with a seasoned sales trainer, separate from their manager and conducted in a confidential setting, are paramount. This approach ensures consistently high performance from your sales teams, even amidst the ever-evolving landscape of today's business world.
