Frequently asked questions about Coaching

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a partnership relationship where the coach guides their clients towards a fulfilling future, both professionally and personally.

Why does Coaching work?

We believe coaching works because your coach will be with you as you grow and develop. We will help to keep you focussed on what matters to you. We will recognise your strengths and show you how to use them to the full. You will find it easier to focus on what really needs to be done and be ready to take the actions necessary to reach your goals. You will have regular contact, often on a weekly basis, to provide you with the support you need as you move step by step nearer to your goal.

What to expect

Hard work, results and lots of fun.

How we get there is by working together on a regular basis over the telephone or on a face to face basis.

During the coaching sessions you will work with your coach on the issues that you want to address, as your coach we will provide you with a safe space to explore your ideas and options and support whilst you do it

You will normally be given homework, or fieldwork as it is called in coaching, this will be actions that you have agreed to take during the call that will bring you nearer to achieving your goal.

Why do I need a coach when I have good friends and family?

Friends and family are great. We all need a strong support network if we are going to make changes. However, during your coaching session your coach is totally focussed on you and the support you need. Can you say the same about conversations with your friends and family? So they have an agenda of their own when it comes to you and the changes you are making?

Isn’t coaching for people who cant cope or who are failures?
No! Coaching works best when people aren’t controlled by problems in their past. Clients tend to be successful, self-motivated people who want MORE from their lives. A coach can help you improve your confidence, spur you on and support you when obstacles arise. But coaching isn’t about NEEDING help; it’s about wanting the best for yourself and doing what is necessary to get that.

How can I afford coaching?

Coaching is an investment in your future. What does your dream look like, if you start working towards it? It could become a reality not a dream. How much would that be worth?

How does coaching work?

Coaching is normally done over the telephone. We all lead incredibly busy lives. Telephone coaching means that you can choose the best coach for you and not just the one that lives nearby. Finally, without distractions, coaching by phone helps you to really focus on the issues in hand and when the call is over to pick up from where you left off.

Who uses a coach?

Anyone who wants more from their lives. Coaching clients tend to be successful, self-motivated people who want more from their lives. Coaching isn’t about needing help. It’s about wanting the best for yourself and doing what is necessary to get that.
