Wish you had or glad you did?

Life coaching is highly supportive, motivating and completely confidential. You have control of the subjects covered and the life coaching is focussed on establishing your own goals and how you will achieve them without judgement or a personal agenda. Sessions usually take place on the telephone, via Skype or face to face in Bath and last 45 minutes. Initially I recommend six sessions over three months so we can assess your achievements – how you continue is then down to you.

Do you stay or do you go?

Not sure if you’re still in the right company, position or career – lacking motivation or wishing you were doing something completely different? You may be standing at a career crossroads – should you stay, go somewhere else or do something completely different? Whichever one it is, change is definitely necessary and I can work with you to refocus yourself on what is right for you right now and how you can achieve it with confidence, meaningful goals and a realistic plan.

Pregnant Pause.

If you are returning to work, you may be concerned about how to manage work and family without dropping any balls, or concerned about how you are going to continue to show your commitment to work while still achieving a good work-life and family balance. You may be considering a new career that can give you the flexibility you now want. If you have been out of the work place for a while you may be lacking confidence and want to re-evaluate your strengths and priorities. Life coaching can help you clarify your goals and how you achieve them – from going back to work to juggling the day to day reality.

Do the best job you can.

Are you essentially happy with the professional you are in and would like to work with a life coach to support your move up the career ladder? Life coaching can help you clarify your career goals, identify what steps you need to take and how you achieve them. I will support you over the hurdles of people management and leadership, coach you to better presenting or time management and can support you to develop your influence and presence. Whatever success looks like to you, we’ll work together to establish short, medium and long-term goals and a measurable plan to achieve them. If you are a first jobber or returning to the workplace after a break I can work with you to achieve the best outcome during your first three month probationary period – from clarifying what success looks like and what expectations your new employer has to building confidence and creating a presence.

Decisions, Change, Action!

Life coaching is holistic and can cover every area of your life. Many people value life coaching when they are looking to make key decisions in their life – at home or work. You may not know yet what it is you want to change but know that you really want to make change happen. You may feel that you lack the motivation or confidence to make those changes. I will work with you to identify which areas of your life need focus and what exactly needs to change to move you forward.

Business-based Personal Coaching

Coaching in the workplace can provide support for smaller businesses where time is short and management is lean.

Whether you have a ‘rising star’ or a company stalwart currently performing below their ‘norm’, it can be challenging to find the time and resource to manage, coach and mentor effectively. A personal career coach is cost effective and works in confidence with individuals to make change happen – from seeking out new goals in the business and for the business, finding solutions, navigating obstacles or building confidence to move to the next level.

As an employer, having a member of staff who is feeling demotivated, disillusioned and unclear about their job or prospects can have a negative impact on their performance and your business.  Equally, rising stars require nurturing to future-proof your business and ensure they continue to grow.

And because you’re busy I’ll make this short and to the point:

Imagine you have an unhappy person in your team today – chances are, for you to have noticed with everything else you’re dealing with, it has been going on for a while.  What impact is this is having on their productivity and motivation – and on those around them?   Equally, rising stars can easily become restless if new challenges are not forthcoming or they do not feel valued.  Ideally I imagine that the best outcome for you is one that benefits your business the most and costs you the least.

Personal coaching is affordable and can help individuals:

• gain clarity about what is important.
• establish whether their current role is working or not.
• decide what their options are.
• work out what change is required and how they can make change happen.
• establish measurable goals towards achieving their ambition.
• develop a plan of action with timescales for change.

I work with individuals in complete confidence and with neutrality to begin the process of change – in whatever form that takes – to move things forward.
