Coaching: what can I expect?

"Coaching is a non-directive approach where the coach holds a safe and trusted space so that the client feels heard and understood. People bring their whole selves to coaching and we work with them as individuals. Through questioning we help them gain understanding and insight into their situation to help them shape the next steps they feel are right for them to take. The coach facilitates the client’s learning then holds them to account for implementing their own decisions, solutions, and ways forwards. Coaching helps you look at the here and now and how you can move forward from your current situation. Despite its “cosy image” coaching is a place of courage involving purposeful drawing on the wisdom of the head, heart and soul (best selves)". (Academy of Executive Coaching)

Coaching is a two-way process and you will get out of it as much as you put in. To be able to benefit the most, my advice is to ensure that you are able to be ‘present’ during our coaching sessions and free from distractions, turning off your phone and finding a quiet space to engage. Don't worry if this is new to you - I will guide you from the start to find the way that works best for you.
