Information About Coaching

Coaching inspires and empowers individuals and small businesses to unlock and achieve their full potential. Coaches apply both emotional and rational intelligence to the multi-facetted elements of life and work.

In essence, coaches connect people to their internal strengths and enable small businesses to enhance performance and develop their people.

There are 3 main reasons why coaching is so effective:

There's a Collaborative Partnership

Coaching works because you've got a collaborative partner in your coach. Someone who is by your side as you grow. Someone who understands the processes of creativity and achievement and knows when to pull, when to push and when to shut up. Someone who helps you focus on your strengths, not waste time trying to overcome your weaknesses. Someone you can share your dreams and ideas with, with the assurance that you will be heard and respected, no matter what. Finally someone who comes to know you and helps you focus on what matters most to you.

You Agree Regular Sessions

Coaching works because you're connecting frequently. Many coaches speak with clients once a fortnight, sometimes more, sometimes less, usually by telephone (although other formats such as in-person, email and fax work well, too). Having that consistent structure provides a supportive framework for whatever you are working on. With a coach, you tend to have a tighter focus, generate more commitment and take the actions you know are needed to reach your goals.

There's a Personal Focus

Coaching works because you focus on you, not just the goal and the business. We say there are two parts to sustainable success - the 'Who' (you) and the 'What' (the goal). To work exclusively on the goal (the What) can make you one-dimensional, thus limiting the opportunity you have to develop and evolve, which are key to long-term fulfillment. At the end of the day, it's not the attainment of the goals themselves that brings fulfillment, but rather YOU and how you feel and your connection with yourself as a person. Coaching develops your awareness of this. What we focus on is very much up to you, but can include your needs, values, strengths, the things you love and enjoy and many of those other elements that simply get lost in the busyness of life.

Coaching Helps You to - expand your thinking and open yourself up to a greater sense of living, by inspiring you to spring clean your life, get in touch with your true essence, focus on what matters to you and, most importantly, by empowering you to take action! Taking small steps and making simple changes can have a dramatic impact on you for the rest of your life.

1. We help our clients to see themselves for who they truly are and to discover their own special essence and sparkle.

2. We help people to see what's possible for them to create in both their personal and professional lives, which is often more than the individual can see for themselves.

3. We then hold the vision and space for a person, collaborating with them to strengthen, support and inspire them as they expand into that possibility and turn their vision into reality.

4. We act as catalyst and support to individuals as they develop and expand into the person they want to be, using tools, techniques and insights to galvanise them into action along the way.

5. We help people to fully connect with their own personal magic and integrate it into their everyday life, so they continually enhance their own lives and the lives of those around them, maintaining momentum, living in the flow and making things happen.
