How does Coaching Work?

In work/organisational situations I blend a robust commercial intelligence with honesty, integrity and social conscience. As a creative thinker I help others overcome actual or perceived hurdles to achieve success.

I listen to what you say, and hear what you don't say.

Using coaching/mentoring methodology and intuition with the skills and experience as a business adviser I find solutions for your situation with you, rather than impose a 'consultancy solution' on you.

The subjects we cover, the agenda, comes from you.

Why Coaching?

Coaching is about practical help for you, creating the space and energy to find solutions and supporting you to take effective action.

Really listening to you.

Removing hurdles and providing an objective sounding board.

With humour and focus.

The power of coaching is it identifies the core problems and solutions comparatively quickly and continues only as long as it is wanted.

And I use the term 'coaching' and 'mentoring' interchangeably rather than seek narrow definitions.

A really great definition of coaching is given by Robert Holden: "I define coaching as the opportunity to get into important conversations you would otherwise have been too busy to have"

Having these important conversations also increases your capacity to overcome future hurdles independently.

My clients say by finding clarity with me they create balanced and effective solutions to suit them and their situation.

Take some time to browse around this site, maybe read some editions of 'Fortnightly Stuff'. Choosing a coach is a 'head' and a 'heart' decision and there are a number of coaches and coaching styles to choose from.
