What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is future oriented. I will facilitate in taking you from where you are now to where you want to go. This is a partnership based on what you want to achieve and the steps needed to achieve your goals and desires. By helping you to achieve your full potential not only will you build an awareness and responsibility for your own life but also a sense of empowerment and fulfilment?

Whether personal or professional I will support your progress every step of the way, keep you focused and on track, challenge you at times and assist in getting you over those hurdles.

I believe everyone has the ability to achieve anything they desire and by the end of our sessions you will believe it too

If you don’t make the first step now towards a brighter future where will you be in 5, 10 or even 20 years time?

Who needs Life Coaching?

If you want to take charge of your life instead of letting life wash over you then coaching is for you! Life after all is not a dress rehearsal so it makes sense to do everything we can to make it a life we truly desire. Do you want to enhance and achieve more in your life? Are you frustrated by lack of progress in achieving results that you want? Do you want to lead a less stressful life? If you want help in taking that extra step to achieving a specific goal, or whether you want to get out of a rut and change your life for the better and you don’t know where to start I can help you. Coaching sessions are practical and specifically tailor made to the individual.

We will formulate strategies, make action plans and assess progress made with one hour sessions on a weekly basis. The majority of coaching is done over the phone with any follow-ups in between by e-mail. We can also do sessions face to face if you prefer.

The only person stopping you from achieving your goals is YOU.

What Can Coaching do for you?

Coaching provides you with someone who will listen, assess and work with you on the best solutions to fulfil your life goals. They do not run your life, you do that. They support you and motivate you to achieve what you want.

It moves you from the effect side of the equation of life to the cause side – the side where YOU are in control.

What is my commitment?

Initially we meet or talk for half an hour. This initial consultation is FREE. After that your commitment will be to work with your life coach on the areas that you wish to focus on. This may mean around a 45-60 minute contact weekly during which time we discuss your week’s achievements and look at what you will achieve in the following week. These contacts can be face to face or by telephone. During the time in between contact you will be encouraged to move down the path that was agreed and to take control of the areas that need attention.

I help people push past those barriers so that an improved and enhanced life can be realised’
