“Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their own
performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them” Timothy Gallway
|
Coaching is based on the
premise that the client is the expert in their life/work and that he/she
has all the necessary resources available to make a positive change.
The coach serves as an independent non-judgemental sounding board whose
role is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
- Encourage client self-discovery
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
-
Hold the client responsible and accountable
(International
Coaching Federation) The coaching relationship is an equal partnership, providing a safe
space, structure and support and working jointly towards achieving
success for the client. |

NLP (Neuro
Linguistic Programming) was created in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and
Dr John Grinder. It has been defined as "the study of excellence",
"how we make sense and interact with ourselves and the world" and/or
"how we think, feel and act".
- Neuro relates to us processing information via our nervous systems,
using our 5 senses.
- Linguistic refers to our verbal language, thoughts as well as
body language.
- Programming relates to the patterns of behaviours we all
demonstrate, i.e. certain ways we prefer to do things.
NLP is a powerful tool that can usefully be applied in business.
Examples include enhanced management and leadership skills, working
relationships,
career and personal development as well as assistance with stress management,
sales and marketing returns, and much more. |

| While there exists some similarity amongst coaching
and other helping activities, e.g. mentoring and coaching both involve
one-to-one relationships that provide an opportunity for individuals to
reflect, learn and develop, and consultancy and coaching are focussed on
action and outcomes, fundamental differences exist. Please

While the methods of delivery may vary, all will have in common an initial consultation, after which the client is sent
information and preparatory material to work through. This will i) start
the coaching process prior to the first session and ii) optimise the
one-on-one coaching time together.
A wide range of Coaching/NLP
methodologies/tools are available and drawn upon as applicable to ensure
the best fit to the client and their specific situation. The coaching process
itself is client-led with the Coach providing a structured framework
that enables new insight, as well as ensuring that the client is accountable
to any actions
agreed.
Coaching 'preparation' and 'reflection' forms are forwarded to the
client in order to track progress made and identify key
issues they want to cover in the next session. |

Our reputation depends on our clients succeeding as
well as being 100%
satisfied.
If, after the initial consultation, the completion of the preparatory
material and the 1st coaching session, a client should feel that
coaching is not for them, we will ask for a chance to put it right so
that they are completely satisfied. If, for whatever reason, this can
not be achieved, we will refund any money paid in advance for sessions
not yet taken. |
