What is coaching and is it right for you?
The work I do (and love doing) is actually pretty simple. It’s about giving you a safe and non- judgemental space to think, with someone who has no agenda other than helping you connect with your own brilliance.
I work on the basis that you are the expert on yourself. I haven’t walked in your shoes, or had your experiences – you know better than me how to best navigate the challenges in your career. I can hold up a mirror so that you can see what’s REALLY going on. I can help you notice (and unpack) limiting beliefs that are holding you back, as well as helping you build on your strengths and values.
Coaching helps us grow. It helps us understand what makes us tick, what matters to us and who we are when we’re at our best. It helps us access the most powerful version of ourselves, enabling us to make the right decisions more quickly. It helps us identify our own individual purpose so that we can make intentional choices about the career and lives that we want and to have confidence in the choices we make.
A good coach can help us see the behaviours and patterns we’ve constructed for ourselves. We can then decide if we want to keep them (if they are working for us) or how to let go of them if they are holding you back. Coaching isn’t counselling and it’s not therapy – although it can be therapeutic. It’s forward looking and goal focussed, and my clients come away with strategies, tools and techniques to use in their daily life.
