Coaching approach
The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of awareness, insight and creativity.
A cornerstone of my coaching approach is to provide a safe, non judgemental, confidential space for you to “think out loud”.
This includes both what’s in view and what may be lying under the surface that may be creating resistance to change. Helping you to increase self-awareness and the possible choices facing you.
I believe that whilst we do not have always have control over events that affect us, we do have control over how we perceive and experience them.
Taking it forward
I offer a free chemistry meeting, which typically lasts up to an hour. The purpose is twofold; to see if we are right for each other, and for me to understand your needs.
If we decide to go forward we will agree the practical aspects, including duration, venue and so on.
We will
- Start with where you are at.
- Agree coaching objectives.
- Explore what is important to you – your values and beliefs – as these will guide us later on.
- Agree some near term and longer term actions.
- Review progress together periodically.
Where the coaching happens
For more intensive interventions, for example, during a crisis, I offer an intensive half day (or potentially full day) deep dive away from your normal office setting. I have found that distance can help to create perspective.
