Life Coaching
I help women move towards a way of being, a way of working and a way of living that brings them more satisfaction – delight even – than they have at the moment. For some clients the main thrust of our sessions is about managing their working life, for many it’s how they feel about themselves and for other’s it’s to do with changing some aspect of how they’re living or interacting with other people. It’s always about improving on what’s gone before and there are usually a number of things people want to talk about.
A good test of whether working with a coach would be useful is to ask yourself: If this wasn’t my current situation would I choose it?
The growing number of thoughtful women speaking to coaches like myself is testament to coaching’s many benefits. Have a look at the Horses Mouth page for comments from real women I’ve worked with. They talk about:
- feeling happier
- calmer
- having an improved family life
- better able to put things in perspective
- feeling empowered
- being more balanced
- increased career success
- being more sure of themselves
- achieving things they wouldn’t have done as quickly if at all, without working with me as their coach.
Coaching involves a regular conversation (either by telephone or face to face) between me and my clients, usually a couple of times a month. Before we begin I am happy to have an initial chat on the phone to answer any questions you have and for you to get a feel for whether you would like to work with me. I make no charge for this.
You do most of the talking in our meetings and I’ll ask questions to probe, challenge and encourage. I give feedback when it’s requested and ask you to set the agenda at the beginning of every session. Our relationship is about developing your thinking and motivating you to take appropriate action to achieve what you set out in our first coaching session.
This sounds really good, can I afford it?
My fees for 1:1 life coaching are set at a level to allow me to work with a broad range of women with discounts for women who don’t have a corporate sponsor.
As one client said, coaching time was the best £300 she’d ever spent. And it’s no wonder when you go away feeling mentally powered up like this jumping bean. (I’m happy for you to leap about if you feel that good but you’re not obliged).
