How Coaching Works

What is coaching?

  • Coaching is about you - the coachee/client.

  • It’s a method of helping you to reach your goals and aspirations, through a supportive process of questions, so that you arrive quicker than you might on your own.

  • There are no right or wrong answers.

  • Coaching is a productive effective way to move things forward - to be forward thinking.

  • It’s also about you taking responsibility for the agreed actions.

How will we work on your Goals?

  • We are going to talk about your goals and aspirations, what you would like to aim for in the long, medium and short term.

  • I will be asking you to write your goals down, make notes during the session and to write down any agreed actions.

  • High achieving people tend to be goal orientated people, and I want to help you be that achiever.

How do I work?

  • I coach with a structured-but-flexible approach: each programme starts with a clarity session to define your goals, followed by focused sessions on specific areas and strategies.

  • Sessions are collaborative, not lecture-style. I'll ask questions, challenge assumptions, and offer frameworks - but you set the direction.

  • Confidentiality is a given. Nothing discussed leaves the (virtual) room.

How can we best work together?

  • Be candid - the more honestly you share what's really going on, the more useful I can be.

  • Treat sessions as a checkpoint, not the only place work happens; the real progress is in the actions between sessions.

  • Tell me early if something isn't landing - a tool, a pace, a focus area - so we can adjust.

  • Feel free to email or message me between sessions with quick questions; I'll do my best to respond within one business day.
