What is coaching?

Coaching is a process where the client partners with a coach on strictly confidential terms to achieve a specific professional or personal goal. In this relationship the clients are experts on the content & decision making process and the coach is an expert in professionally guiding the process. 

What are the benefits of Coaching?

Coaching enables you to move towards your goal in a structured, purposeful and transformational way. Coaching gets you where you want to be more quickly and efficiently than you would if you acted alone.

How do I know coaching is right for me?

The following questions can help you assess whether coaching is right for you.

• Do you feel that you are unfulfilled in areas of your life? 
• Do you feel that you are not utilising your talents?
• Do you feel there is no alignment between where you are now and where you want to be?
• Is there a gap between where you are now and where you want to be?
• Do you sometimes feel you don’t have the skills, resources or confidence to get you where you want to be?
• Is fear of failure holding you back?
• Do you struggle to commit to taking the necessary steps to get you where you want to be?

If you answered  yes to any of these questions, then coaching can most definitely support you to reach for your dreams.
