Do you know what you really really really want from your work and your life? Are you successful but feel like ‘you have to do it all by yourself’ and really want the support and expert advice of a critical friend to support you and your business? Do you want to accomplish ‘something bigger and bolder’ that would leave a great legacy? Are you a high achiever who sometimes struggles with self confidence and procrastination? Can your life/work balance do with some improvement? Do you want to grow your business, but something is holding you back? Are you at a cross roads in your life or career (i.e. becoming self employed or starting a business, on maternity leave, selling your business)?
Who is it for?
I specialise in executive and business coaching, in particular for passionate and talented professionals who want to create better and bolder creative and social enterprises. I often work on clarifying your vision and the direction where you are heading for yourself and your organisation, creating action plans and keeping you accountable (actually doing the things that you say you will!), supporting your will power and celebrating success. I help people with leadership and management challenges, time management, work life balance, confidence, loss of energy, decision making, change in career and life. My clients want to tackle a whole range of topics from professional and business development, to career change and personal challenges. Coaching is very individual, and we will work at your pace, at a time and place convenient for you. I work with various clients throughout the UK and in Europe through Skype.
What is it?
It is sometimes easier to be reactive, accepting, waiting till things get better, blaming the situation. Coaching is about making change in your life and getting the results you really want: taking charge of your own future, creating a vision for yourself at work and home, and then discern what you need to do to achieve that vision.
Coaching is about you as a whole person: your personality, values, goals, challenges and dreams, leading to a more fulfilled, balanced and purposeful personal and professional life. Truly effective coaching is a demanding task, getting you out of your comfort zone, challenging your perceptions and habits, accessing your own deep wisdom, giving insights into the real you. It’s not always comfortable, but together we will work to empower you to find your own answers, with encouragement and support you will make choices and take decisions, going where you never dared to go, embedding the necessary changes to make real change happen and make them actually stick (unlike New Year’s resolutions!).
After more than a decade as a creative business adviser, where I saw lots of my clients leave full of good intentions but returning with fairly little change in their actions and day-to-day lives, I decided in 2008 to train as an accredited Co-Active Coach. The results and impact on the personal and professional lives of my clients have been absolutely inspiring!
What next?
We will start with a phone conversation discussing what you are looking for to achieve, and I offer a free half-hour phone sample session. You can then decide if you want to continue working with me, signing up for a minimum of 8 sessions, which normally take place two times per month. We will start our coaching relationship with a one-hour Discovery Session, followed by sessions take between 45-60 min., every 1-2 weeks, combining phone/Skype and face to face meetings (in London).
Contact me by phone or email to discuss further and for a free sample session on the phone to really experience coaching, and to see if this is for you.
