About Coaching

What is Coaching?

• Coaching is a collaborative partnership which inspires and empowers you to take the journey from where you are today to where you want to be, re-discovering you along the way
• Coaching empowers you to take back control of your life and motivates you to reach for those goals/dreams
• Coaching is action orientated
• Coaches should possess core competences as defined by the International Coach Federation.

What Coaching is not:

• Consultancy which is solution orientated
• Therapy where people deal with issues from the past

How does it work?

• Coaching sessions take place by telephone three or four times monthly for a minimum of three months as most often results are seen in the third month
• You set the ‘agenda’
• I invite full commitment from you to taking actions decided by you during our sessions
• I am here to support, guide, inspire and challenge you
