My Approach
I’m a different type of coach. Uncompromising, no frills, challenging and effective with a real plan centred on you and your targets. Be ready to hear what you need to hear, to change your thinking, to take action and to own your change. Ready to put the work in?
This is a process not a quick fix. You will get the right support at the right time. And most importantly, you’ll be accountable.
We will establish how you want to be coached. I find a direct and honest approach gets to the heart of the issue faster and delivers results.
“So much of this is about confidence and self-belief. Harnessing the power of the mind and focusing on positive thinking is transformative and I want to share that with others.”
“I always look for the good in any situation. I want to help others do the same.”
Personal one-to-one coaching
Either in person or online
Stage 1: Online or face-to-face taster session
(30 – 45 minutes)
This free initial session is vital to establish if you and I are a good fit for each other. To determine compatibility, I ask a series of questions to find out:
- Why you want a coach
- What you need help with
- What your goals are
Coaching is a two-way street, and honesty and transparency are key. I make it clear during the taster session whether I believe I can help you achieve your goals. I also set out the level of commitment you would need to make. If we both believe we are compatible, we move onto stage two.
Stage 2: Bespoke coaching package
Everyone is different, and every coaching package is bespoke. A one size fits all approach is most definitely not on the agenda!
During Stage 2, we focus on the importance of a positive mindset. I explain how understanding the power of our thoughts is key, as what we think has a huge – and often underestimated – impact on our lives.
We then work together to look in detail at each area of your life. I use a range of psychological tools here, such as the Wheel of Life, to give you an understanding of which areas you are most unhappy with, what you want from each area and crucially, set goals to achieve them. Acknowledge they are struggling and agree to take action
“I see opportunities where others see doubt.”
“With the right mindset, we can all flip the script.”
Stage 3: Accountability: the coaching contract
Accountability is key to achieving goals. My coaching contracts range from three, six or twelve months, depending on the client’s circumstances, goals and budget. We agree to get together – online or in person – for one-hour coaching sessions weekly, fortnightly or monthly. At each session we revisit goals and actions to achieve them.
Stage 4: Maintenance
After the end of the contracted term, clients decide if they want to continue with further coaching sessions without being tied into a formal contract. By this stage, many clients have built up enough momentum and found their rhythm with positive actions that they choose to go it alone. For others, the risk of returning to old thought and behaviour patterns is still present, so we agree to continue with regular or ad hoc coaching to keep them on track.
Corporate group coaching
For corporate companies looking to either restructure their teams or encourage team members to work better together, my NLP Practitioner training and I3 Profiling services are highly effective as they help individuals understand their particular strengths and areas for improvement.
The innovative i3 profiling tool develops self-awareness of nature-nurture tendencies and helps individuals gain a greater understanding of themselves.
The coaching – which can be tailored to individuals or teams – gives employers a fresh perspective on their employees and how to get the best from their workforce whilst also understanding individual employee’s needs.
One-to-one coaching with senior management and executives takes place over a set timescale with the option to progress to personal one-to-one coaching for some or all employees.
“Being able to nurture people gives me a huge sense of pride and satisfaction. There’s nothing better than seeing the penny drop in others.”
“I’m passionate about how the mind works. Gaining control over our own thoughts means we can be the best version of ourselves.“
