How coaching works

Many people who are frustrated, perplexed, dissatisfied, bored, or unsure of what to do are drawn to coaching. It is ironic that these very things will keep you from actually making the decision to do it! If you want to move forward and are sick of being stuck, coaching is for you.

To give you an idea of the types of issues that people typically contact me about:

• Starting a new company or changing careers.
• Gaining confidence, assurance.
• Making large-scale decisions.
• Increasing concentration and breaking the "rut" of procrastination.
• Moving ahead to accomplish personal and professional objectives.
• Improving the quality of relationships.
• Establishing or ending relationships.
• Replacing bad habits with wholesome ones.
• Rediscovering fun, passion, creativity, and aliveness.

Giving an answer to the question "who am I?" likewise, "What do I actually need and want in life?" 

• Plans of action that are transparent and accountable will enable you to live the life you deserve in the manner you desire.
• A clear understanding of what you truly want from life.
• Identifying new strategies to help you overcome challenges and issues.
• A life that is more balanced and centred on your personal priorities.
• Development of your individual resilience to handle both good and bad times.
• Tools to replace unhealthy habits with nourishing and wholesome ones
• Better acceptance of oneself.
• Discovering and learning how to use your strengths, develop self-confidence, and unleash your inner strength.
• Getting out of your head and learning to comprehend how you truly feel will help you reconnect with your true self.
• The capacity to handle your inner critics, fears, and limiting beliefs that have been preventing you from moving forward.  

• In simple terms, Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP) is a series of models, techniques, and strategies to help us better understand how the language we use influences the way we think and the results we get!
• Neuro……the way we experience the world through our senses and translate those sensory experiences into thought processes (conscious and unconscious) which in turn activates the neurological system.
• Linguistics……the way we use language to make sense of the world and then communicate that experience to others.
• Programming……the way we 'code' (mentally represent) our experience and adopt regular patterns of response.
• NLP explores the ways in which our thought patterns impact how we behave, interact, and, most importantly, communicate with others and ourselves. NLP can have a positive effect on every aspect of your life. It can be used to move forward with some specific challenge or issue or can be adopted more generically to make a difference to all areas of your life. NLP is one of the many tool kits I apply to my coaching.

In the beginning, sessions are typically twice a month, although depending on your needs, the frequency may vary. I will work with you based on your personal circumstances to customise and tailor your program, so it is a perfect fit for you.

Sessions can be either in person or virtually via several channels such as, Teams, FaceTime, or WhatsApp.

I am aware that investing in yourself through coaching requires a financial investment, time, energy, and commitment. Does it seem worthwhile? This will be worth far more than what I charge you if you are prepared to leave where you are and let me help you create a life in which you feel fully alive and more like you.

We can all find ways to justify spending money on things outside of ourselves to feel better, whether it be on pricey vacations, shopping extravaganzas, our cars, the newest technology, luxurious meals, a few too many glasses of wine, etc. All of these represent an effort to make us feel better about ourselves and our lives. Although these things have positive effects, the duration of those effects really varies!

I can see why people are reluctant to make personal investments. Firstly, it takes courage to acknowledge that you have had enough of the way things are, much less say aloud that you want your life to change in some way.

Secondly, it might seem self-centred. Who am I to spend this money on learning about myself when I have so many other expenses? Who am I to spend time and effort trying to figure out who I am and what I want out of life? Who are you not to, I ask?

Long-term investment in coaching is recommended. There usually is not a quick fix or overnight transformation, like having a personal trainer for your mind. You will experience a change in behaviour and thought patterns, and you will feel (and be) better... for a lot longer than a holiday makes you feel. Is it financially feasible for things to continue as they are? 

• Coaching is a special, unbiased relationship with a person who pays attention to you and has faith in your abilities. Apart from wanting the best for you, I have no agenda and no intention of passing judgement.
• Coaching is all about taking action and being held accountable to complete the tasks you must and want to complete to move forward.
• It gives you the room to have fun, be open, discover who you are, and think clearly about what you need and want in life. Most importantly, you are unable to "get it wrong."
• By determining your needs, we can establish a plan, and you can make choices that marry with your values. This is the time when we are the happiest.

Schedule your free sample discovery session to experience coaching first-hand. We will begin to get to know one another and determine whether we are a good fit for a coaching relationship in a 45-minute phone call. We will discuss your concerns and I will give you time to ask any questions you might have about coaching or me. It is crucial that you give it a try to decide whether to commit to coaching.

1. If you are eager to get started, we decide on a day and hour that work for both of us. I will guide you through your self-discovery process by employing a variety of time-tested methods. 
2. Decide to make a real change. I require a commitment to coaching of at least three months. From my experience, this is what is required to bring about long-lasting change. We can decide together how to continue after the initial three months.
