WHAT IS COACHING?
There are many styles of coaching and it is an industry that is constantly evolving, which is reassuring to know that the home of professional and personal development, is always improving itself!
Coaching follows a framework which will be adapted to you and the specific outcome you are working towards. During the coaching process you will discover what is most important to you and what motivates you, and what makes you fearful and holds you back. Coaching involves being future-focused and action-based, as well as exploratory and revealing, and it also holds you accountable for your actions and holds up the mirror to see yourself as you really are - worts and all!
At it's core, coaching enables you to build a deep and honest relationship with yourself.
Coaching allows you to zoom into the detail of your life, make some discoveries, tweaks or dramatic changes (it is all our choice remember!), then zoom back out to the Bigger Picture to see the difference they make. The great thing is that you can do this as many times as you like!
This is the gold dust coaching uncovers, from which you can create the life you want in the quickest and most honest way possible.
THE FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
1. FUTURE-FOCUSED - Coaching focuses on the future, whilst acknowledging things that have happened in the past that informs your behaviour today and could be holding you back in present.
2. OUTCOME DRIVEN - Coaching is about focusing on the end result and the steps and actions you need to take to get there. What is the goal, outcome or success you want to achieve?
3. BRIDGING THE GAP - Coaching is assisting people to achieve their life goals by getting clarity on where they want to be, where they are now, and what is stopping them from getting there.
4. DISCOVERING YOURSELF - Coaching is uncovering your values and beliefs systems that help and hinder you, by learning how you can break unhelpful patterns and align yourself to what is important to you. Change your behaviour now to create the future you want.
5. FAST PACED - Coaching is an accelerated process to get you to your dreams faster, or in a way you might not have been able to alone.

Coaching is not therapy, it focusing on the future, accepting where you are now, and being accountable for the steps you are taking to get us to the outcomes you want, no matter how big or small. Coaching can bring up emotions but it is not intended to unpick or understand past events and traumas, however coaching can help you can take learnings from the past to make changes for the future
