PERSONAL COACHING

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” Rumi

Most of us dream about being happier, healthier, more focused, more successful and having a better work-life balance. However, we sometimes get stuck, unsure how to move forward and even start the process of turning our dreams into reality. So, we inevitably end up staying with the status quo and telling ourselves that we are happy with it. Really?

If you screamed “NO!” to the above question, then you’re the type of person who wants more out of life, who wants more control over the inevitable changes in your life and are prepared to move out of your comfort zone and take the path towards successful and sustainable change.

You are ultimately in control of what happens to you. You don’t need to ask permission from anyone but you might just need a helping hand. I would like to support and guide you in changing your current situation for the better.

Personal coaching offers numerous benefits that can have a transformative impact on individuals. Here are some of the key advantages of personal coaching:

1. Goal achievement:

A personal coach helps individuals clarify their goals, create actionable plans, and provides ongoing support and accountability, increasing the likelihood of successfully achieving those goals.

2. Self-awareness:

Coaches facilitate self-discovery, enabling individuals to identify their strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. This heightened self-awareness empowers them to make informed decisions and align their actions with their aspirations.

3. Overcoming obstacles:

Coaches assist in identifying and addressing limiting beliefs and obstacles that hinder personal growth. By providing new perspectives and strategies, they enable clients to overcome challenges and develop resilience.

4. Improved performance:

Personal coaching enhances performance by fine-tuning skills, boosting confidence, and fostering a growth mindset. This, in turn, can lead to greater success in both personal and professional domains.

5. Enhanced communication skills:

Coaches help individuals improve their communication and interpersonal skills, leading to better relationships and more effective collaboration with others.

6. Stress reduction:

Through coaching, individuals learn valuable stress management techniques and strategies to achieve a better work-life balance and reduce stress levels.

7. Increased self-confidence:

As clients make progress towards their goals, their self-confidence grows, empowering them to tackle new challenges and pursue opportunities they may have previously shied away from.

8. Support during transitions:

Personal coaches provide guidance and support during major life transitions, such as career changes or starting a new phase in life, helping clients navigate these periods more smoothly.

9.  Work-life integration:

Coaches assist individuals in harmonising their personal and professional lives, fostering a sense of fulfilment and happiness.

10. Lasting change:

Unlike quick fixes, personal coaching aims for sustainable, long-term change. By focusing on personal development and growth, coaching can lead to transformative shifts in mindset and behaviour.

How it works

  • An initial 30min discovery session is completed. To understand the business and personal needs and to ensure there is a good synergy. This meeting is held ideally face to face but if distance is an issue a phone or Zoom session can be arranged.
  • Moving forward and prior to commencement of the coaching partnership a coaching confidentiality contract is signed off.
  • We will meet twice a month (every fortnight) for 60minutes.
  • A summary of the session is sent to you after the session, clarifying the key discussion points and homework assignments for the next session.
  • The weeks where we are not meeting, a check-in will be completed. Should you need to talk to me during the month, this can be done via email, phone or text message, where applicable. In other words, don’t wait for a formal session to reach out for help.
  • Additional sessions can easily be booked if required
  • The monthly retainer is billed and payable at the beginning of each month.
  • Should you need to postpone a session, I’ll happily try to accommodate your request where possible. If postponing becomes regular, I’ll need to challenge your commitment to your coaching and your investment in your personal growth and development.
