Why do I need a coach?

---

Without a doubt, the fastest way to achieve your desires and goals is to find yourself a good coach. Don't fall into the trap that most people make; they resist getting a coach because:

• they think they can do it on their own
• they consider it to be expensive and are reluctant to make that kind of investment
• results are not obvious in the way an exotic holiday or a new car parked on the driveway would be obvious

I thought this way for a long time, but if I could go back and do it again, I would have invested in a personal performance coach right at the start of my journey. Luckily for me, I cottoned on, and as a result, I have benefited considerably from having (and still have) several fantastic coaches and mentors.

What can I expect from my sessions?

---

The sessions will follow the Vision | Empower | Action approach and will include the following:

• Raised awareness through powerful questioning techniques so that you can gain clarity on who you really are and what you truly desire
• Assistance in creating practical step-by-step action plans to reach your goals
• Provision of on-going support through any changes or obstacles you might encounter along the way
• Enablement to continue using the tools, techniques and strategies to create sustainable change and success

What does a coach do?

---

A coach helps you focus on getting out of life what is important to you, even when you don’t know what that is yet! Although some coaching skills may appear similar, a coach is not a counsellor or a therapist. Your coach will always focus on the future, unlike counsellors and therapists who tend to work with your past mistakes.

What are the benefits of coaching?

---

There are so many benefits! Here are a few as a taster, to give you an example of the diversity of coaching, but if you want to chat further, please contact me.

• Gain clarity on life and/or career path

• Career change or progression

• Reinvention following redundancy, retirement or empty nest

• Find purpose in life (live the life you really want!)

• Start a business, make more money

• Work-life balance, stop trying to please everyone

• Overcome nerves

• Be more confident

• Manage stress or time

How many sessions will I need?

---

That depends on what you want to achieve. Why not go ahead and book your free consultation? Following this, I can create a package specifically for you.

---

When won't you coach?

---

I am not:

• a therapist - they help their clients to explore their past to enable them to move forward.
• a counsellor - they listen to concerns and anxieties.

However, I am qualified to provide services as:

• a mentor - they share their own experiences and provide tips and guidance to the client.
• a consultant - they give the client clear, logical advice on how to proceed.

But I will only do so if requested by you and if I have asked your permission to do so.

What are your terms and conditions?

---

Packages for Individuals:

My policy is quality over quantity, so, I only work with a limited number of clients at any one time. I want to be able to give my full focus and commitment to helping them achieve success, and I only work with clients who are willing to commit to doing the same.

I work on the basis that flexibility is key, so:

• Where necessary or preferred, I can create a package suited to your specific needs
  or budget.

• When you come to the end of your package, you will have the option of adding additional sessions at a discounted hourly rate.

• All packages are valid for 12 months from booking. This gives you the flexibility to postpone your coaching temporarily should the need arise, although this is not ideal as continued focus and commitment are needed if you are to bring your ambitions and dreams to reality.

• A session is normally 60 minutes, but within a package, you have the flexibility to split them into 30-minute sessions or combine into 90-minute sessions.

• Packages will also include support via email and text between the sessions, as required.

• Booking a package will save you money. However, I recognise that a package may not be right for everyone. My standard hourly rate for a 60-minute 1 to 1 coaching session outside of a package is £80.

Please note: 1 to 1 coaching sessions and packages are pre-paid and delivered via Skype or telephone. Face to face coaching can be arranged. A small supplement will be added to cover travel costs and time for sessions that take place more than 15 miles away from where I am based.

Business/Corporate Packages:

Fees for executive, corporate or business (team) coaching will depend upon the individual requirements, so please call me or email to arrange a time to discuss your unique requirements.
