My approach

Coaching is a partnership. It’s about chemistry and trust. It will only work well if we can talk about complex issues honestly and openly. That’s why it’s important to have an initial conversation to find out if we feel we can work together. This can be with one person or with several people. I will always be honest about whether I think my approach and my experience are suitable for what you are looking for.

My role is to encourage an open conversation about what really matters. I use listening, observation, questioning and feedback to unlock a better understanding of what’s going on and why things are the way they are. Where there is more than one person, I will make sure to bring everyone into the conversation. The aim is to create new insights and learning. Change can often be prompted by a simple shift in perspectives. This is the same for individuals inside and outside the workplace, and for families, couples or teams.

With a better understanding can come change. We will talk regularly about what it is you want to achieve, and I will help you to consider the options for moving forward. The path you choose to take however is entirely personal to you. It is your world and only you know what will work best for you. Change can be difficult, and I will support you to resolve the issues getting in the way and to build the motivation and commitment you need to make things happen.

How we work is up to you and can be flexible. There are often several people involved with busy work and life schedules. We can work online or face-to-face or a combination of the two. We can plan a series of coaching sessions or take them one at a time. What really matters is that you have the space and time to think and speak freely. Choosing to work together is a commitment to making a difference. It’s important that we have the right environment to succeed.
