What is coaching?

It’s having a personal trainer for your working life.

Coaching is a one-to-one interactive relationship that focuses on you and what you want in life. It helps you identify and accomplish your professional and personal goals faster than you would on your own. People come to coaching for many different reasons but the bottom line is change - you want to do things differently to before.

Your coach works with you for an hour every week and of course there is homework in between! In general coaching commitments are initially for three months. This gets you through the initial highs and lows of the coaching experience. You can’t make significant change in less time, and many people stay with their coach for a lot longer.

Coaching is not therapy, psychology or counseling.


Your coach:

  1. Believes you can do it. The coaching process focuses on assessing the current situation, setting goals, developing action plans and keeping you moving forward. Your coach tells you the truth, where you are strong and where you need to do some work.

  2. Has the questions that challenge, support and keep you on track. They listen to you, your words and what’s behind them. They help you identify and overcome self-limiting beliefs, roadblocks and the gremlins that have stopped you before. They ask you to do more than you would have done on your own.

  3. Explores your aspirations, how you can link your goals to what is compelling for you, how to look after the ‘whole person’, how you can feel fulfilled with your life.


Once people start work with a coach they generally find:

  • they take themselves more seriously

  • they are more focused and effective

  • they stop putting up with stuff that’s dragging them down

  • they create a momentum and so it’s easier to get results

  • they set better and higher goals

  • they are happier with where they are going.

It’s never too late to be what you might have been! -  George Elliot
