What is Coaching?
Coaching is a conversation to unblock a person's potential and support them to take action and make change happen.
Change can come in many forms, both self-initiated and forced upon us.
Examples of life changes that are out of our control are redundancy, retirement, or health complications, all of which push us out of our ‘normal’ and require us to seek out new opportunities.
Self-initiated change may come in the form of career progression, seeking a healthier and fulfilling lifestyle, or improving a particular relationship. In these instances, the desire for change is there but often the path to achieving it is unclear.
In a coaching conversation we establish your vision and we create a path in order for you to get there.
Vision
In order to move forward we must first know where we are heading.
You may have a clear view of where you want to get to, but are facing blocks and challenges that prevent you from getting there. Or maybe you're not sure where it is you want to aim for.
Either way coaching asks the questions and provides you with the space and freedom of thought to explore your wants, needs, desires and dreams that shape your vision.
PATH to change
Vision will give you the direction, but a path is needed in order to get there.
Coaching allows you to examine the blocks and challenges that may arise on the journey and become aware of the abilities and resources you have within you to help you navigate around them.
This self awareness combined with a positive thinking environment allows you to create your own path leading you to your desired outcome.
