Transformational coaching.
Because nothing changes if nothing changes.
What is coaching?
It’s a chance to take stock, catch your breath and focus on where you’re heading. Coaching will help you understand yourself better and find ways forward where you may have been stuck without choices. Coaching helps clients find the courage to make changes and supports them to get the results they want, professionally or personally. And through the process they find clarity of purpose.
My approach to coaching.
There are many types of coaching - life, career, executive coaching and more. My approach is informed by the Co-Active model together with NLP skills and tools. I coach you, the whole person. Whether you want help with life, career, conflict, confidence, your professional life or another part of your life, it all ladders up to you.
We work in partnership. I will coach and support you to achieve your goals.
Common themes that come up in my coaching are these:
Building confidence
Dealing with conflict - at home or at work
Looking for career development or promotion
Stress management, building resilience
Struggling with balance in life
Creating choice (when stuck)
Dealing with change
Through coaching you will:
Increase your self awareness
Know your values and what’s important to you
Explore your patterns and what holds you back
Improve your self leadership
Become more fulfilled
Be more alive
What’s the difference between coaching, consulting and therapy?
There are in fact, shared elements across consulting, coaching and therapy. Similarly to therapy we explore your experience, ask powerful questions and explore difficult issues. However, we look at the future and focus on taking action to help you reach your goals and live a more fulfilled life. Unlike consulting, where they give you the answers, we don’t. We help you find them using various tools and techniques. That way it’s more profound and long lasting.
The power of coaching is proven in science.
As neuroplasticity expert Norman Doidge points out, there is substantial evidence we can “rewire our brains with our thoughts.” But because the default in our brain is to go with the pathways that are already developed, it is difficult to change without focused, supported, intentional effort. A 2010 fMRI study at Case Western Reserve University found that when subjects spent 30 minutes talking about their desired personal vision, the parts of their brain “associated with cognitive, perceptual, and emotional openness and better functioning” were activated. Co-Active coaching brings this sort of focus and support, making it possible to literally help a client’s brain rewire itself for greater effectiveness.
