For Individuals
We help you to set fresh direction at times of change in your life, and reach the goals you set.
We help you to understand your personality and strengths (the uniqueness that makes you "you"), to value that, and to develop yourself and make appropriate choices so that you can live life to the full. This is so whether you are seeking to develop in an existing job, looking for a career change, or retired.
Many of the individuals that we work with are also owners or directors of businesses, so we are experienced in working with work issues as well as with personal issues, are happy to blend the two, and can be as business-like (or not) as you want us to be in our coaching. We tailor both the content and style of the way that we work according to your needs and personality.
Our coaching is tailored to your needs. The underlying process is often about helping you to know
Who you are - personality, strengths, interests, relationshipsWhere you might go - recognising the ways of being who you are and becoming who you can be - recognising reality and options, making informed and intuitive choices, and deciding what steps are needed to get there.We recognise that there are particular times in people's lives when they seek increased clarity and support. In the workplace these include seeking work, promotion, increased responsibility, and redundancy. At home these include starting work, bereavement, mid-life, and other changes in relationships. Sometimes these times require an insightful, sympathetic yet objective, listening ear to help us to get our thoughts togeher. At other times we need clear goal setting and action to make important changes in our lives.
We support you through this process, typically through regular meetings of an hour or two every month or so. We have insightful tools to help you understand yourself better. We bring out the best in people so that they "fire on all cylinders" and enjoy life to the full. We see this transformation take place as people grow in understanding of themselves, and their uniqueness, and the way they communicate and relate with others.
We seek to help you to rediscover the “who you are” that flows into renewed direction and purpose, and into action that is true to your centre. At our heart is a desire to see people grow into the people they were made to be.
How do we work?
The agenda is yours. At the heart of our process is transformative listening. As you start to tell your story, and are truly heard, connections will be made with deep desires that need to be at the core of what you put into action. We encourage and stimulate through the questions we ask. We do not advise but are catalysts for your own innate creativity. We seek to nurture habits of reflective learning to enhance your own personal awareness, integrity, and decision making.
Particular tools available according to your own need include SIMA™ Who do you think you are?
We are happy to arrange an initial meeting without fee or obligation, so contact us. We look forward to meeting you!
