A Definition of Coaching ...

Coaching is a conversation between people with the explicit intention of improving their lives.  The Coach facilitates this change by increasing your understanding of how you interact with those around you; helping you to clarify both your needs and your wants;  identifying the obstacles that prevent you from achieving; and defining the skills needed and actions required to overcome them so as to bring about permanent positive change.
​
​I can support you in achieving this by encouraging you to recognise and develop your own resources and use them in a more focussed and effective way.
​

Desire, Support & Opportunity ...

Successful people frequently have three things in common: The Desire to become more than they are; someone to Support them in reaching their goals; and the Opportunity to try out new ideas. 

Through these Coaching Programmes I will help you focus your desires, support you in translating them into real world actions and provide the opportunity to safely explore new ways of working to take you were you wish to go.

Helping You to Become Your Best ...

We all have within us the ability to become more than we currently are.  Obstacles fall in our way, we take wrong turnings or do not have the right tools to hand when they are needed.  

Nobody can tell you what is right for you, although many people will try.  Coaching will help you discover the route that work's best for you, help you plot the course that will take you where you want to go, and make sure you have everything on-board that you need to complete the next stage in your adventure. 

Personal, Confidential, Unique ...

By drawing upon my own experience, I can offer a unique perspective for people working in the public services sector including healthcare, education, local government and charities large and small.  As an independent coach I can deliver a deeply personal response and guarantee a high level of confidentiality.
​

Explore, Dream, Discover ...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbour and catch the trade winds in your sails."  
Mark Twain
