Typically, we are advised or told what to do, but each individual is unique and what works for others may not be the right solution for you. For many, coaching is often the only chance for them speak with someone who is unbiased, non-judgmental, and dedicated to helping them achieve their goals and aspirations.
Coaching helps you in finding clarity and solutions that align with your personal values, preferences, motivations, and aspirations…
This is not something that colleagues, peers, friends, or family members necessarily do, and it can be challenging to do it yourself. When talking to others, people rarely have the space to explore what is genuinely right for them. The advice they receive is often based on phrases such as “If I were you, I would do it this way…” or “You should do this…” based on other people’s own preferences, fears and limiting beliefs…which can often hold you back or even discourage you.
Instead, as your coach, I will help you identify what you want to do and what is right for you as an individual. While we consider the impact on those around you, it is not in a way that will hold you back unnecessarily from achieving your goals.
While a coach may challenge you, they will never limit you…
Working towards our goals, particularly when launching or running a business, can be a solitary endeavour, which can lead to distractions, a loss of motivation, or self-doubt. Likewise, women who are trying to climb the career ladder may confront challenges such as gender discrimination, unequal pay, lack of opportunities for advancement, and a lack of representation in leadership positions. Coaching helps by providing support, guidance, and tools to overcome these obstacles.
Coaching can play a crucial role in developing effective communication skills, building confidence and resilience, providing support and accountability, navigating workplace politics and business negotiations, and identifying strategies to help you move forward effectively. With coaching, you will have a safe and confidential space to discuss your experiences and feelings, receive feedback and encouragement, and develop a personalised action plan to achieve your goals.
As well as coaching you, a coach acts as a confidante, sounding board, and accountability partner, all of which are valuable components in assisting you in achieving your goals and aspirations.
Coaching helps you untangle situations, declutter your thoughts, overcome limiting beliefs, and gain clarity, see new options and opportunities…much like a periscope does!
