Frequently asked questions
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a tool that is used to empower individuals and help them reach their goals; it is basically a conversation between the Coach and the Client whereby the Coach asks questions that enable the client to look for answers within themselves.
What Coaching is not?
- It is not Counselling - We do not delve into past experiences. We concentrate on getting people from where they are now to where they want to be.
- It is not mentoring – We do not offer advice or suggestions.
How can you help me?
Your coach will be there to encourage, motivate and support you personally during your 1-1 coaching. You will be listened to and respected but they won’t tell you what you should do not give you advice. Instead they will help you to identify and develop your strengths and recognise and challenge your fears. Remember, coaching is NOT counselling, psychotherapy, mentoring or teaching. Coaches know you have all the answers locked away within you, you are the expert in your life. Your coach is the key to unlocking the answers to your confidence problems and challenges. They help you unlock doors in your mind you didn’t know were closed. Coaching is the perfect addition to any successful individual’s life.
How do I get started?
You will receive an information pack by e mail, which will include a client profile sheet (telling me more about what you want) as well as a coaching agreement. You will then return your contract agreement as a scanned document via e-mail, prior to starting your sessions. This helps us a better understanding of what is going on in your life right now and what you want to achieve from coaching. It saves time and ensures you are on the right course of action.
Why is coaching cost effective?
Working with your coach you will be helped to plan how you can get things done in the quickest and most efficient way possible each week or fortnight, you will take action each day/week (you decide) and start to bring transformation or change that you want into your life. It focuses on what is going on in your life right now and assists you in setting up action plans for success. It is spaced at regular intervals so it can deal with your life issues, goals and situations on an ongoing basis. It is always supportive and encouraging and is especially useful should you become disillusioned or unsure of your progress.
Remember "if you continue to do what you have always done you will get the results that you have always got". All you need is a desire for change, an open mind and a commitment to take action. You will receive the right support for you to enable you to transform your life as you want to. Where do you want to be in 5 years time? Is it where you are now? If not contact us now.
