How coaching can help you
No matter how capable and successful you are, you probably feel – like most people – that from time to time you need some encouragement and support to help motivate you and find a new direction.
Coaching, whether it’s life coaching, career change coaching, career development coaching or executive coaching, is a series of conversations. They are different from ordinary conversations in several ways:
- they are completely confidential
- they have direction and purpose
- there are two active participants (you and me) but only one agenda – yours
- I’m on your side, but impartial (and trained to be). I don’t judge you and don’t have a set opinion on what you should or shouldn’t do
- I take you seriously and pay attention to who you are and what you tell me.
I’m a catalyst and a partner. We work together towards an outcome:
- you bring your issues and your desire to move forward, grow and develop
- I bring my curiosity, my expertise and experience and my ability to pick up on what you’re saying – and what you’re not saying.
Another point of view
I can help you shine a light on what’s happening, bringing a new perspective to your situation. I supply another point of view, the ‘missing voice’ in your conversations with yourself. That ‘missing voice’ or perspective could be an awareness and recognition of something you can’t see in yourself or a point of view that you haven’t considered.
You might need encouragement and support, motivation and direction. You might also need challenge or a reality check. It’s not all warm and cosy in a coaching conversation…
One size fits no-one
No two people are the same, and no two situations are the same, so I don’t have just one way of coaching. You’re unique; a complex blend of many elements common to us all. I don’t pretend to know what it feels like to be you, which is why I listen carefully to what you tell me and pay attention to what I sense and feel about you as we talk. You’re an adult who can sort yourself out, but who may need a little help along the way.
