Coaching

My work is based on relational coaching, where we form the contract together. This might range from weekly to monthly sessions, in person, or online. Approximately 3 initial sessions will shape the contract.

This is a programme designed to support you directly through a period of significant transition. This begins with a ½ day to dig in depth about where you’re at, where you want to be and what is getting in the way. We will then have monthly face to face sessions, together with weekly telephone calls supporting you as you take the actions and make the changes.

This is over 3 months and costs £3,500

Monthly session for 6 months.

This gives you a sounding board for the strategic thinking which will develop your organisation.

If you are looking for a tailored development program that enables you to shape your role and work through systemic issues this is for you.

This costs £2100 (£1500 vol sector)

The aim of coaching is to provide a process that enables individuals to achieve their full potential. The client defines his/her objectives, needs and issues. The coach helps the client’s exploration of wants, motivations, desires, skills and thought processes to assist the individual in making real, lasting change.

The coach is supportive and non-judgemental of the client, their views, lifestyle and aspirations. The coach, instead, questions, listens, observes and encourages a commitment to action and change. The common thread uniting all types of coaching is to provide the vehicle for ongoing, step-by-step action that enables the client to achieve more in the areas of their life they choose.

The types of impact that clients report to me are;

• They are more able to use their whole selves. Offering leadership informed by their values & wisdom.

• They have developed clearer and appropriate systems

• They are less isolated and stressed in their role

• Their organisations, businesses or projects have become more successful.

• That they have increased their ability to influence and delegate in all directions

• They have been able to handle a greater number of projects & complexities

• They are able to work strategically in the present, with better flow.

• They have a better balance of work and personal life.

There are a few key principles for coaching to work well.

1 You are managing your own learning. I believe that people already have the answers that they need within themselves, and that what they need is to be facilitated and enabled, through the coaching relationship, to surface their solutions, use their skills.

2. We need a clear working relationship that has a regular rhythm of meetings, goals that are owned and a quality of listening and analysis that is supportively challenging.

3. Setting aside a regular amount of time to prepare for sessions and to reflect in between helps integrate the habits into your regular practice.

1. Get in touch for a free exploratory chat where together we can decide if we are the right fit and what coaching package is best for you.

2. The coaching process is a designed alliance between the coach and client. In setting up the alliance, the client sets the priorities, style and scope of the service required and the coach helps the client understand the coaching process, possible ups and downs, and techniques that might be used. The alliance also covers agreeing logistics and costs.
