How It Works



I often get asked:

"How does Life Coaching work?"



To put it simply, each meeting is a question

and answer session.



Unlike any other kind of session you may have

experienced, you are the total focus of the

conversation and set the agenda for each session.



My only purpose is to help you to clearly

define what it is that want to achieve,

whether it's in your personal, professional

or public life, and then support you through

the quest of achieving your goals, helping to

keep you on track and overcome the challenges

and obstacles that may appear on route.



These meetings can take place either on the

telephone, or face-to-face



I have also had it said to me:

"I might just as well talk to a friend/family

member!"



This may true in some instances however, there

are times when you do not want your

friends/family/work colleagues to know what the

challenge is. Also, in a coaching session I am

not judgemental, i.e. I do not look at how you

have been in the past, I just look at where you

are now and am fully supportive of what you

want achieve.



During the first session we talk about what

you want to achieve through coaching, and then

each session after that is geared towards you

achieving your goal.



One of the reasons that coaching works so well

is there is accountability involved. In effect,

you tell me what you want to achieve between

each session and at the next session we take

a look at how you got on.



I know this sound's a bit like school, but if,

for example, you do not achieve what you wanted,

we take a look at and deal with what stopped

you and reset the goal.



During the series of sessions you and your

success take priority. I am there to support

and encourage without giving advice.



Honesty and integrity are the two most vital

ingredients during a coaching relationship.

The best results are gained when nothing is

held back or glossed over.



There will be sessions that you feel were a

waste of time, but these are all part of the

journey of achieving your goal. Like a roller

coaster ride, you have to go down occasionally

to be able to rise again.



The good news is that over time the downs will

get shallower and the ups will get higher.



Just enjoy the journey.
