About Us

How do you coach in your coaching practice and what does that look like to the client?

Short Answer

A. Coaching to us is a conversation with purpose! 

Coaching is the art of empowering people to bring about change or action and take responsibly for themselves. Enabling the client to create their own trajectory in accountability and success. 

Long Answer:

The purpose or “intention” is to embark on a course of action together - a way forward!

Looking at topics from a solutions based approach rather than a problem based approach is a necessary, conscious and deliberate shift in thinking. This is the unpinning of our coaching process and it drives “YOU” towards the desired outcomes. 

*If this is a new concept I can provide you with a worksheet, and walk you through this. It’s a valuable 10 minute exercise to get you shifting your gears. This acts as a perfect icebreaker in a 30 minute Chemistry session. 

Using a car analogy I'll explain a bit further:

When we have our places at the starting line. We begin at “Ignition stage”. I will listen and ask you specific questions about the purpose of our coaching session. 

Now we have the "key" we can rev the engine into “discovery stage” we will explore the subject matter or the issue you would like to deal with. In this stage of awareness the conversation lies around clear goals, and perhaps exploring possibilities not yet engaged or awakened. 

Now, let’s take a peek under the hood of this particular vehicle. 

What are the facts here? 

Does this show a gap between where “YOU” are now, and where you want to be? What is the reality here? What is happening?

What’s "driving you"and what direction are you traveling in? Is this in-line with your purpose and the goals previously discovered?

Here we explore options, and perhaps brainstorm various ways in which you might get to your destination. 

Once a range of options or “alternate routes” are discovered your perspective shifts. You now have a solution based approach that forms an invaluable part of the planning process.

'Navigating' your way forward

Once you have;

· explored your purpose

· identified goals 

· know what you want

· sized up the situation

You have now reflected on the current reality, and have quantitative options available. Now put the pedal to the metal! 

What options are you going to choose? Does this fit with your objectives?

Achieving goals takes time and involves a transition process. It might be that your car needs a minor service. Or like us you find out you were actually driving the wring vehicle altogether. GEEZ!!

It is easy to loose motivation and direction when traveling to an unknown destination. Think of the coach  as the voice in the “SAT NAV” If you have been honest in discovery, I will be able to support you moving forward with both motivation and in accountability. 

What do I need from you?
