What is coaching?
Coaching is a future-focused, peer-to-peer, non-advisory discussion that focuses on the topics or questions most important to you; it is both confidential & non-judgemental.
There are lots of different types of coaches & coaching - performance, development & transformative coaching.
At a certain level, any type of coaching is transformative - as it leads to change.
What is transformative coaching?
I offer transformative coaching, as this has more impact for my clients; it is more likely to support lasting change at multiple levels, not just in outcomes (as per traditional performance coaching), but also in terms of your beliefs, how you view yourself, others & experience the world around you.
During coaching, clients will sometimes find that it is their own constant comparison to the way others lead their lives, teams, run their businesses that is hindering them from being more authentic & following their own path.
Some realise that their own, often hidden, beliefs & assumptions are limiting their possibilities.
During coaching conversations, we often identify a goal behind the initial goal that clients bring. This is something that can easily be missed during traditional performance or development coaching.
How our coaching will work
My core values of optimism, love of learning, freedom, honesty & fun, reflect how & why I have chosen to work as a coach.
During our conversations, you will bring the topics, goals or questions most important to you, your organisation or business.
I’ll be an accountability partner & create a space where you have the right conditions to think things through in a different way.
Before we set about pursuing your goals, we will first explore how they fit with the rest of your life, the wider social systems you belong to, as well as your values.
Through conversational techniques (e.g. questioning, active listening, observation & reflecting back) and other coaching tools, we’ll identify & reframe any underlying limiting beliefs or assumptions that are holding you or your business back, generate new insights, explore new possibilities & create a plan of action.
How do I choose a coach?
All coaching can get results but not all coaching looks the same.
As well as the skills of the coach, one of the most critical success factors in coaching is the rapport & relationship between the coach & client.
I offer a free discovery session, to give us chance to connect & to see whether we will be a good fit to work together.
Where will our coaching take place ?
Our coaching conversations can take place in a range of different locations - online, at Boulder UK climbing wall, at your place of work or even in the outdoors, during coaching walks - wherever you will do your best thinking !
