What is Life Coaching?

Sessions take place together in relaxing, informal surroundings, over a time span that we agree in the first session.
Discussions are confidential, with a constructive emphasis. All written records are shared between us.
As a coach I will be:

		Respecting your unique strengths as an individual

		Clarifying your life in the present and your real values

		Looking at what works for you

		Helping you set and accomplish goals that you really want

		Examining how setbacks occur and assisting you in overcoming them

		Challenging and questioning you when this helps to enlighten the picture

		Providing a structure to help us work effectively

		Having consistent regard for your well-being

You may well find that the whole process involves change. Changes in thinking about problems, changes in how you see yourself, changes in how you see others, changes in how you act - and maybe other changes we did not expect.
If you are open to these changes, and if we both come together with a commitment to achieving real results, then we're ready for coaching.

People find their own benefits from coaching, depending on what they want from it. You may wish to meet a specific goal, such as finding a new job. Or you could have a desire to improve some aspect of life that is not working well, You may have reached a crossroads, or you may want to find new horizons.
