Is there a gap between where you are now and where you'd like to be? Coaching can close that gap, by helping you to develop strategies for your success, and supporting you while you make it happen. It addresses many questions: Where am I now? Where am I going? What do I want? How do I resolve this particular issue? How do I sort out my confusing and stressful life?
Coaching is about living your life in keeping with what's important to you. It helps you to take stock and get clear, to regain control, and to achieve balance in your life. It can increase job satisfaction, financial success, and personal fulfilment. Benefits include quality of life, more time for yourself, improved relationships, and better health.
Successful sports people know how vital their coach is for vision, motivation, support, focus and strategy. With a life coach as your partner in success, you can have these same benefits - as you take action, stretching beyond what you thought was possible, to get the results you want.
Coaching is in person or on the phone, usually in weekly sessions. You are encouraged to prepare before the session, and to agree a plan of action to take away. Your coach has a range of resources to help you identify needs, set goals, and implement plans. Your coach will help you stay on track with your chosen solutions, and pose thought-provoking questions to help clarify your outcomes and the action you need to take to achieve them.
If you are open to new ideas, willing to question old beliefs, and ready to take action to change, then coaching is for you. It can be fun, challenging, and has the power to change your life in many ways. Try it for yourself - contact Steve to arrange an introductory session free of charge.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I started working with Steve as I had reached a crossroads in my career and life, and felt confused and unsure of the way forward. I had read self-help books and knew what I wanted to achieve but not how to go about it. Working with Steve has been a very positive and productive experience. He is most insightful and draws on his knowledge of several different methods to find the best way to help you help yourself.
I find each session full of a combination of realisations that dispel the myths holding me back, and ideas on how to solve my career and life questions, meaning I come away from each session feeling fantastic and motivated! It makes such a difference working with a dedicated coach such as Steve, and I have progressed much faster than I would have done left to my own devices. Steve is helping me through an important period of change and I have found our sessions invaluable - thank you!" - Jenny Babington, Veterinary Surgeon, Suffolk
“I brought Steve on board at a time in my mid-life when I was getting divorced, changing jobs, moving home and coming to terms with my sexuality - all at the same time! His insight, encouragement and support through this period has enabled me to navigate through to a renewed life, with continued optimism for the future.
I would thoroughly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to make changes in their lives with an honest, friendly and supportive coach at their side.” - MG, Senior IT Applications Consultant
“Steve’s coaching is strong, warm and supportive. His gift to me has been in encouraging me to commit to my next moves, and being there for feedback and support as I continue my journey. With his encouragement I have planned out the next stages of my life, something I have always been resistant to. And now I can feel the power of knowing where I am heading, and how I might get there. Thank you, for a great gift shared.” - Rachel Stark, Clutter Clearer and Coach
“I have made the changes, but it’s a bit like learning to drive – it wouldn’t happen without a decent instructor beside you giving you the means to make the thing move safely and under control, not to mention navigating the hazards! You have been, and still are, a very important part of the process and your skill at what you do is the thing that has made the difference and made it possible for me to understand and welcome the changes that I am making.” - SS
“At our last meeting you gave me lots to think about so I've got plenty to work on for the time being. I'm also sleeping a lot better! It has been really helpful speaking to you and I would obviously love to come and see you every week...” - MN
“I felt you really wanted to help me and that it was more than just a job to you. I believe you are genuinely personally interested in your clients' progress.” - PK
“You have made a difference to my life for which I will always be grateful.” - MS
“Thank you for your help last year. I went through the tunnel with my sons without difficulty. As a result I have driven myself through on my own, and am revelling in being so independent.” - GL
“You have really helped me so much and that I now need to work on the positive ideas you have given me. Meanwhile I will highly recommend you to my friends and contacts and thank you sincerely for all the help you have given me.” - PK
“Your empathy was obvious by the way you responded to what I was saying without my having to repeat things or explain in greater detail. You have a great ability to analyse a situation and to get to the crux of a problem very quickly.” - RB
“You have a great sense of humour and are an excellent coach.” - CM
High achievers often cannot go further unless they expand their skills. They may be outstanding in one or more areas but feel lacking elsewhere - perhaps highly successful at work but less happy with life once they leave the office. Or they are performing well at work but promotion means there is one area (such as people skills) where they need to improve their performance.
NLP Business Coaching with Steve can:
These are some areas in which Steve specialises (this work is suitable for individuals and groups):
Does the prospect of talking in front of a group make you nervous? Learn professional techniques to deal with your anxieties and build your confidence, allowing the real you to emerge. Personal coaching on your presentation skills can revolutionise the way you feel about performing in public, leaving you eager to find your next audience.
Stress-related illness is now the most common reason for lost work days, causing problems such as headaches, insomnia, persistent fatigue, loss of confidence, reduced motivation. High levels of stress affect your productivity, distorting judgement and lowering morale. Coaching helps you learn to manage individual stress patterns, providing the skills and support to use at times of high pressure.
Are you sometimes overwhelmed by the demands of a full-time job or running your own business? Do you feel stretched, struggling to spend enough time with your family and friends, losing touch with favourite activities, even neglecting your own health and self-care? Coaching helps you re-assess your priorities and develop ways to manage your time - leading to a more balanced and satisfying life.
A business coach offers you valuable support through times of transition, such as job change or promotion. Coaching also supports your career planning, and provides help in specific areas such as preparation for interviews, presentation of CVs, managing conflict or dealing with difficult people.
