What is professional Coaching?

My goal as your Professional Coach is simple. It’s to partner with you, introduce you to professional coaching, and help make the best "you" you can be by identifying and highlighting the skills you have within, while giving you the tools to achieve both your personal and professional goals.

As a member of both the International Coach Federation and the Australian Institute of Professional Coaches, my approach is to guide you through a thought provoking and creative coaching process to maximise your potential. I do this by:

• Creating a partnership built around respect and trust, which enables me to support and encourage you through the coaching process. This includes developing and maintaining an effective coaching plan 
• Actively listen to what you’re saying and developing an understanding of what is driving your thoughts, dreams, and behaviours
• Asking questions that showcase your strengths and weaknesses, and how we can use these to develop opportunities for growth and improvement
• Motivating and guiding you to take charge of your own future, and to adopt new actions that will lead to agreed-upon results 
• Understanding and applying coaching ethics and standards and using them at all times during the coaching process.

We all have goals, and my job as your Coach is to help you identify and highlight these goals and guide you towards them. As you move towards your goals I will get to know who you are, help you identify your opportunities, encourage you to remove the obstacles that stand in your way, and give you the tools to shape your future so you can be the best "you" you can possibly be.

Professional coaching is a way for you to improve performance and increase motivation, and to become exceptional at what you do.  It's also a great tool for companies to develop and retain staff, contributing to a strong return on investment in people, and helps build a strong team culture and increased performance and productivity.

No matter who you are or what you do, I can help you move forward and transform your professional and personal life.  Working together in partnership, we can:

• Discuss and explore what is holding you back, and what you need to do now to help you overcome these obstacles
• Set achievable goals and develop an action plan that will help change your behaviour
• Improve your self- awareness, opening up opportunities for growth and development
• Increase your professional skills and better manage your time and resources
• Learn to improve communications skills, and uncover the tools you need to approach difficult conversations and handle conflict.
