ABOUT COACHING
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a goal specific and personally-tailored approach to personal and professional development. There is usually a desire to change or improve something about yourself or your life and the coaching process enables the you to evaluate where you are now, gain clarity on what you would like to achieve in the future and assist you in working out how to get there.
What sorts of topics can you work on with a coach?
- Job Hunting, writing an awesome CV, Preparing for Interviews
- Career Decisions/Career Progression/Career Change
- Professional confidence and self-esteem
- Starting and growing your own business
- Improving your business acumen (vision, strategy, planning, marketing, staffing etc.)
- Dealing with difficult situations/people/conflict in general

What does a coach do?
- Enable you to identify and establish realistic goals
- Listen unconditionally and non-judgementally to you
- Act as a sounding board for you to voice your aspirations and fears
- Challenge you to step outside your comfort zone
- Encourage and motivate you to take action and accelerate that action
- Provides you with support and keeps you focused on your goals
How long are the coaching sessions?
Usually about an hour but it's your coaching and so we will work however you would like.
How many coaching sessions will you need?
This varies and depends how many goals you would like to work on. When working with one specific goal e.g. changing your career, it usually takes about three sessions to gain clarity on what you do want and have taken some steps toward that, you then may go on to have another 3 sessions to help you work out how to execute your career change and update your CV, define a job search process or how best to use your network.
I often work with career progressors once a month so they buy a bundle of 10 sessions to use over the course of a year.
How often are coaching sessions?
As often as you like providing you have enough time between sessions to complete your actions. Mostly
I usually work with clients weekly or biweekly to begin with and then less frequently as they start to see results.
What if I am unable to attend a session?
Please try to give as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend a session.
Notice of less than 48 business hours may be charged at full price as it’s unlikely your slot will be filled at short notice but you are welcome to move your session any time up to 48 hours beforehand.
What about confidentiality?
The sessions are completely confidential and will only be discussed with a supervisor or peer colleagues if it would benefit the work we are doing together, however there is no need to disclose your name or personal details in these discussions.
