What is Performance Coaching and Life Therapy?

Key benefits of performance coaching

The INTERNATIONAL COACH FEDERATION is the world’s largest coaching federation and defines coaching as ‘partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximise their personal and professional potential’.

Coaching is a professional relationship that proactively helps people produce positive transformations in their personal lives, careers, relationships, businesses or organisations. It is particularly important in today’s fast-paced, volatile, uncertain and complex world. Being a leader is tough. You work long hours and shoulder big responsibilities. Having a personal coach is not a luxury, it is a necessity in order to deal with the professional and private challenges of leadership. 

I partner with my clients to help them design and create the life and businesses they want. I bring out my clients’ own brilliance, focusing on positive emotions and core strengths (I am an expert at identifying cognitive abilities and hidden talents), so that clients can achieve change, excellence and create purposeful, incredible lives.

I do not tell my clients what to do or give you advice. I guide you. I respect my clients as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole.

Through powerful questioning techniques, lateral thinking outside the box, giving you space to think and feel, coaching focuses on helping the client discover answers for themselves. This has an empowering impact on the client. Coaching unlocks potential and enables:

  • Inspiration and motivation for people to maximise their potential and create and achieve positive outcomes and goals
  • Greater focus and being proactive accelerates clients’ progress by providing greater awareness of all the possibilities which exist to create fulfilling lives
  • Greater clarity, understanding and direction by exploring any limiting beliefs and obstacles, identifying strengths, eliciting self-generated solutions and strategies, moving clients into ACTION
  • Increased confidence, self-discovery and self-awareness helps clients dramatically improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their skills and unlocking their potential
  • More fulfilling and rewarding relationships by exploring what is holding you back from connecting with loved ones and colleagues
  • Better communication due to a better understanding of yourself and others

 

Key benefits of life therapy

Life therapy compliments coaching, where you may wish to explore past issues more deeply to gain an understanding as to the psychological reasons you are experiencing difficult feelings and thoughts, such as challenging life events, childhood experiences, attachment issues, feelings of anxiety or depression, feelings of loss and grief, feelings of anger, bad habits or addictions, or trauma, in order to tap into your full potential in the here and now. 

Life therapy is client-led, positive, encouraging, non-judgmental and outcome-focused. I help you explore, understand and gain perspective. The partnership between myself and my client is based on authenticity, honesty, trust and confidentiality. Life therapy unlocks potential and enables:

§  Greater understanding as to why you feel the way you do

§  Empowers you to develop fresh insights and perspectives about your life

§  Dealing with and managing an extended period of anxiety or depression

§  Support with emotional difficulties in a crisis

§  Evaluate and treat any mental and emotional disorders

§  Develop coping strategies to manage distress

 

How I work

Our partnership will be deep and powerful. I am your personal coach. Over the course of many years, I have honed my coaching programme into a successful 4 Stage ApproachMy coaching guides you through a logical and flexible coaching process. Flexibility is key, as no two people are the same. This 4 Stage Approach is 100% tailored to you, your aspirations and your goals.

I work via Zoom, telephone, and face-to-face with clients all over the world. Zoom is hugely efficient and productive in terms of your busy schedule and our valuable time together. 

I offer weekly and fortnightly coaching sessions for new clients and monthly and yearly coaching for existing clients. I also power coach face-to-face for 1/2 day, 1-day or 5-days. 

My waiting list for weekly to start coaching sessions is approximately 7-10 working days long, occasionally sooner. I have reserved sessions for pre-coaching consultations. Within a couple of days of you contacting me, we will be talking about how you want your life and businesses to change.
