Everything and tuppence over

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

What is coaching?

Coaching is a journey, a journey of discovery. It will energise and motivate you. It helps you to fulfill your potential.

The coach/client relationship is built on integrity and trust.

 

Coaching helps you find the circumstances, fulfil your potential and dreams, ands takes you on a journey of learning and self-discovery. Life coaching is energising, motivating, powerful, educating, and it works by providing goals, action plans, insights, strategies and solutions.

Coaching takes you from where you are in life to where you want to be.

What can it do for you?

• Help you elicit positive change in your life
• Free you from the constraints of limiting self-beliefs and negative habits
• Help you gain focus and clarity on what it is you really want
• Provide you with honest and unconditional support
• Help you develop greater self-awareness and personal responsibility

 

What else does coaching do?

1. Motivates clients to stretch themselves
2. Encourages clients to be their best
3. Challenges clients to think bigger and realize their full potential
4. Dares clients to take more risks
5. Is a supportive structure available for people who want to produce results quickly and easily
6. Alters how clients think, feel and behave and so they begin to appreciate their own greatness

Coaching achieves this by:
1. Setting powerful, compelling goals so clients are clear about the direction they are heading
2. Providing the structure to help clients stick to them, even when the going gets tough
3. Focusing clients on where they are now, where they want to be, the best way to get there, and the action steps they are going to take, right now
4. Helping clients think laterally to create lots of options, and then think deeply about the choices they wish to make
5. Giving clients a step-by-step process that avoids the overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start
6. Setting deadlines to give the whole process more urgency and importance
7. Working within a 12-week time frame; enough time to complete the project, but short enough to stay focused and motivated
8. Encourages clients to identify old obstructive habits, drop them, and develop new productive habits instead
9. Asking clients the hard questions and holding them to what they say they want and will do
10. Helping clients to stay committed to themselves and their goals

It can be aimed at people’s personal or business lives

Life Coaching is fast becoming as important a part of job packages in the City as Personal Training once was: this is an opportunity to get involved right at the start.

How does coaching work?

It focuses you on where you are now, where you want to be, and what the best way to get there is.

It challenges you to think bigger, take risks and stretch yourself.

It gives you a step-by-step process and structure that avoids the overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start or carry on.

It encourages you to identify old obstructive habits, drop them, and develop new productive ones instead.

It works within a given time frame: long enough to reach your goals, but short enough to stay focussed and motivated.
