Personal or Life Coaching

What is Coaching?

Often in life, we realise that we want something different but don’t know how to achieve that. Often we will try things that we have tried before, and when we get the same old unsatisfactory result, we become disillusioned, and “give up.”   If this happens often enough, we begin to believe that “it’s just not to be.”

Well we can change that!

Coaching is a system of helping people to change their situation, their beliefs and their strategies to achieve just what they want to achieve.  To tap into their potential and the optimise their capabilities.

Just as a sports coach is there to push his team forward to better and greater results, so your Coach is there to motivate and support you to move your life forward and upwards whilst preserving those aspects of your current character and life that you wish to maintain.

During Coaching, you are encouraged and urged to change those aspects of your life that you wish to change , to find ways around obstacles, to resolve limiting thought processes, and to take positive action to achieve that to which you aspire.

When a life coach helps you to define an action, it is not the action itself that is important.  It is the results that come from that action that creates the success.

There are some people who don’t know what they want to do or be. They just know that they are unhappy where they are.  If that is your situation, you coach will guide and support you through defining your options and helping you to clarify what you do want.

Your Personal Coach is non-judgemental, 100% supportive, and only has your interests and the achievement of your goals as their aim.

Could I benefit from Coaching?

Ask yourself the following questions:

Has my life turned out to be different to the way I wanted or intended it to be?

Have I got oustanding goals or ambitions?

Are my life/family/career commitments out of balance?

Should I have achieved a higher status in my career?

Am I unhappy in my life, work or family situation and want to do something about it?

Have I put my happiness off to keep the peace?

Do I keep putting things off?

Does something get in the way everytime you decide to improce your situation?

If any of the above apply to you, you could benefit from Coaching.

Everyone, without any exception, has a vast potential for happiness and success, a potential that is all too often unexplored.  Coaching will awaken you to the amazing possibilities that you possess and show you how to use them for your own benefit, and also for all those who touch on your life.

Couldn’t I just talk to a friend?

Of course you could. Friends and relatives are very valuable people and hopefully would share in your success.  Friends and relatives do have their own agenda however and unwittingly will be assessing the effect of your future success on themselves. 
Your coach’s sole agenda is your success.  After moving you forward on to your new life, your coach will be working with someone else.  Your success is your coach’s success.

How is coaching carried out?

The coaching format is tailored to your needs. It can be carried out face to face, by telephone, by email, or combinations of these.  It can be in a consulting room, at your work place, in a convenient cafe or hotel. The combinations are endless.   

If coaching is carried out by telephone, then use of internet telephony is advised as costs are minimised. Any required documentation can be passed by email, post or fax. 

So you can see that the coaching process can be as easy for you as you want it to be. 

Naturally, the coaching relationship is entirely confidential.

Could I be coached in my workplace?

With the permission of management, coaching in the workplace is highly effective.  Many companies are now using coaching as a means of employee development and team building.

The information and motivation from seminars and workshops lasts as long as the seminar or workshop does.  Unless the lessons learned are put into practise within 48 hours, much of the information and value of the seminar or workshop is lost. 

Coaching not only facilitates learning and provides motivation, coaching sets targets and goals with a follow up system to ensure they are achieved.

An initial consultation is held without any obligation on either side to continue, and whilst at no cost to you, the coach’s time is being invested and failure to attend or call as appropriate may take up appointments others could use.
