Coaching of any sort is about forming a relationship with our clients, it is a unique relationship, unlike any other you will come across. It is having the fun and approachability of a friend, the nurture of a parent, the belief in you, that your young children have, the encouragement and support of a good partner and the trust you normally only ever have of yourself. After your free consultation, your Initial Intake session will be booked, this is generally 1 1/2 to 2 hrs long and in this time we really get to know you and evaluate where you are now, either in terms of direction in Life or regards levels of self -Esteem. All sessions after this will be 1 hour long.
Coaching is about your coach using skills and techniques to listen and question, with the intent of assisting you in exploring new possibilities. Your coach will help you to get some clarity on what is draining your energy for life and what motivates and inspires you. Decision making will become easier, life becomes fun again and dreams become possilbilities.
Worryingly, Not so long ago I heard Coaching described as having a nagging parent at your side.
One of the reasons for the coaching relationship achieving such fantastic results is that coaches will hold their clients accountable for actions they have commited to. By this we mean that during a coaching session the client decides upon an action that will move them closer to their goal, the coach will ask the client to commit to that action by agreeing to a time and date when it will be achieved.
