Who I Work With
I offer one-to-one coaching to individuals who have decided they want help - a catalyst, if you like - to bring about some change in their personal or professional life so they can then move forward with less struggle and effort into a better future.
“It’s never too late to be what you might have been” - George Eliot
There are many different reasons for working with a coach, but basically clients stay with a coach because they get the results they are looking for.
My clients come from all walks of life (and from several different countries) but they all have in common
- they want their life – and their future – to be different
- they are committed to exploring what they really want, and
discovering possible ways of achieving it
- they are prepared to do what it takes
- they see our coaching as the catalyst for change
Are any of these situations familiar to you?
- “I’m faced with a transition in my life: a turning point, a difficult decision, a challenge…I need to get clear on the options so I know with confidence which way to go.”
- “I’m stuck. And struggling…..feeling overwhelmed. I don’t want all these negatives in my life….but I just don’t know where to start.”
- “Everyone’s talking about work-life balance. I recognize now that I’m paying too high a price for my success at work: I too want to find that balance between work, family, relationships and fun.”
- “I feel my life is running me, rather than I’m running my life. I want to get back in control of things. Life seems to be passing me by… Surely there must be more to life than this…or is this as good as it gets?”
- “I just want more peace of mind and joy in my life”
- “I want things to be different… but I don’t know how to make it happen. I’m fed up feeling frustrated and dissatisfied ... if I could understand myself better, become more confident, then maybe I can overcome whatever it is that is holding me back.”
- “When it comes down to it, I need to know that I’ve had a life well-lived……. a satisfying life of few – or no – regrets. And I want to achieve that before it’s too late!”
Who will benefit from working with me as their coach?
Coaching asks certain things of you as a client. Is coaching for you?
You will be most successful in working with me if
- you work well in a collaborative partnership
- you are ready to devote the time, energy and resources necessary to make real (perhaps even life-transforming) changes in your life
- you are open to being invited to explore, reflect on, and challenge your existing attitudes, beliefs and behaviours with curiosity and without judgment
- you are willing to engage in the process of enquiry to discover, enjoy and even be surprised by what is within you
- you can see the value in considering new perspectives and possibilities and are prepared to recognize your responsibility to make things happen
- you are committed to looking for lasting solutions
- you are prepared to be stretched outside your comfort zone
- you have the courage to reach for more than before, to leverage your personal strengths and overcome limitations
I give 100% to my coaching….and I expect my clients to strive to do the same.
