Frequently Asked Questions.

Coaching is professional and personal development. It’s for passionate people who want more from their professional and personal lives. Coaching empowers individuals to set larger, more rewarding goals, to develop strategies to achieve them and to provide support throughout the process. Coaching also holds the individual to account and this accountability means that the success rate of goal achievement is much higher than without.

Successful clients know the value of sharing ideas with someone who understands them and their motivations. Talking about options with an intent listener is often the best formula for optimal decision-making and action.

Coaching is effective because:

• Confidentiality: The collaboration between Coach and Client is 100% confidential and free of judgement. The environment of a coaching session is a place where the client is encouraged to be authentic, where they can think and speak in a manner that is true to their own core values. The client is at their best when they are free to be true to themselves.
• A Trusting Collaboration: Client and coach become a team, focusing on the client’s goals and needs and accomplishing more than the client would alone.
• Accountability: With a coach, the client takes more actions, thinks bigger and gets the job done, thanks to the accountability the coach provides.
• Expertise: The coach has a skill-set that empowers the client to make better decisions, set optimal goals, develop new skills for communicating and shape their professional and personal lives for fulfilment and balance.

Initially, the coach and client conduct a coaching chemistry session prior to each engaging in a contract. This is done to ensure that the client is a good fit for coaching at that time and for both parties to become somewhat familiar with each other and how the process works.

Once satisfied that both parties are ready to progress, a contract is agreed for the term of work carried out.  Initial term of the contract is usually for 6 sessions, once every 2 weeks for 1.5 hours but this can be tailored to the clients needs and circumstances.
