What is Coaching?
 
You're probably thinking:

• I'm frustrated that life is not the way I want it
• I feel unmotivated, flat and unchallenged
• I feel overwhelmed when I make change in my life for the better
• There has got to be more to life than this
• How do I make the right choice
• What other options are out there for me
• What do I really want with my life
• How can I become happier
• My friends, colleagues seem more successful than me

Coaching can help you:

• Get clear on personal goals that you will be happy moving towards.
• Plan for a life which inspires you and puts the bounce back into your stride.
• Build the confidence that you need to make decisions that are right for you.
• Learn how to think positively and watch the goals come to you.
• Manage your fear and beliefs to help you get what you want out of your life.

Coaching can help with Life Planning, Personal and Career Development, Confidence Building, Boosting Self Esteem and Stress Management.
 
Is Coaching right for you?

• Do you feel like you are stuck in a rut?
• Do you frequently wake up in the morning feeling flat and de-motivated?
• Are you feeling overwhelmed when you think of making changes in your life?
• Do you start plans and never finish them (e.g. weight loss, better fitness)?
• Do you know what you want in your life but don't know how to get there?
• Are you unclear about where you want to go in your life?
• Do your friends or colleagues seem happier or more successful than you?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of these questions then consider the following questions to help you decide whether coaching is for you.

• What is it that is causing you to answer 'Yes' to any of the above questions? (I suggest that you write a list to help clarify your thoughts).
• How is this affecting your enthusiasm, you ability to bounce out of bed in the morning or just be you all the time? How does this affect your relationship with others, your current stress levels, health and wellbeing?
• What would happen if you were to continue with the same situation and do nothing about it? What would your life look like, sound like or feel like in 6 months time? How much would it cost you in 2 to 3 years, in terms of finance or your own health, through worry, stress, anxiety or burn out?
• If you could make changes to your life right now, how different would your life be in 2-3 years time? What would you see yourself doing differently, or be saying to yourself that would be different? How much would that be worth to you, to begin moving towards a life which you really wanted and were motivated by?
• If you engaged with a coach, who was willing to help you get clear on what you wanted and provide you with resources to get you there, how would you like your life to be different in 3 months time?

Coaching is not therapy or counselling. It is a way of getting you to move towards a life which you want and away from a life which you don't want.

What will happen to me in a coaching session?
 
I am an experienced master coach and a natural, non-judgemental, objective listener. When you have your first one to one session with me, I will skilfully take you through a series of leading, and sometimes challenging questions, to help bring clarity to your situation.
 
I am a master on helping you establish a clear direction for yourself and will open you up to new possibilities to getting there, using skills and knowledge which you probably didn't know you already had.
 
At the end of the session, we will have clarity on your situation and we will agree to a set of tasks for you to complete to help you move forward before the next arranged session.
