The best way to deal with change is to conquer it.

Coaching Guidelines

These guidelines are designed to give you an understanding of my role as a Coach.

Coaching is about:

• Creating behaviour changes that help you enhance performance and learning.

• Moving people from awareness to responsibility to action.

• A solution focused results oriented process.

Coaching is not:

• Therapy, which goes into depth about various issues dealing with the past.

• Consulting, which results in giving client the answers.

• Training, where the agenda is fixed by the trainer.

Coaching is successful when:

• The client is willing to learn, grow and take action.

• There is a gap between where he/she is now and where he/she wants to be.

How clients are coached

The coaching relationship is designed by both the coach and coachee and may be refined through ongoing two-way feedback. Coaching is Co-Active. Even though as your coach, I am fully committed to your journey, you will ultimately be responsible for action taken or not taken in your life throughout the coaching process.

Coaching sessions usually last for an hour and can be face to face, in person or through Skype or over the telephone.

Coaching is about what happens during the session and after the session, in the time between sessions where you apply what you have been working on. You will get homework – usually 3 actions to focus on between our sessions. If the homework is too much just say so. If you want to be pushed harder, just ask.
