What to Expect
My coaching and mentoring style involves:
- really listening to you, being fully present with you in the moment
- giving you focus to gain clarity and pinpoint changes you wish to make
- asking enabling questions
- drawing out your unique strengths, qualities and achievements
- supporting with identifying and exploring choices and making difficult decisions
- providing positive feedback and supportive challenge
- offering objective observations and suggestions
- providing tailored tools, techniques and tips for enhancing personal effectiveness and wellbeing
How do coaching sessions take place?
To keep my service as carbon-neutral as possible, coaching sessions typically take place remotely through Microsoft Teams/Zoom/telephone. Sessions are usually 1.5 hours in length with a comfort break halfway through.
If a face-to-face session suits you better, I am happy to travel to you by public transport from my base in Abergavenny. I also offer the option of having our coaching sessions whilst walking in a pleasant outdoor space. Many of my clients find that reconnecting with our natural environment brings a new insight, enhanced clarity or just some welcome fresh air. Others prefer to meet at their own place of work, or in a quiet corner in a tea shop. We can arrange whatever suits you best.
How much does it cost?
My fees are based on fairness and affordability. I offer an initial complimentary 15-minute chat (with no obligation), to discuss what you need and how I can help. I can then give you an exact price.
My business and personal banking, pension funds, and savings are all with ethical providers.
Examples of coaching outcomes experienced by my clients
I have had the privilege of witnessing significant changes in the performance and well-being of my clients. Some recent examples include:
- A manager moving from the avoidance of addressing staff performance issues to tackling them effectively head-on.
- Teachers on a leadership development programme who seriously doubted their capability to become leaders, making a smooth and successful transition to Deputy Head and Head Teacher roles.
- A Director gaining new insight into their 'default' leadership approach and learning how to adapt it to inspire even better results from their teams.
- An individual perceived as having a ‘brash, arrogant’ approach, making significant changes in their style resulting in positive feedback from colleagues.
- A manager moving from consistently failing to get to interview stage to being invited to interview for all the jobs they applied for and be offered the job they wanted the most.
