How can life coaching or executive coaching make my life more rewarding?

Many people who work with me are already extremely successful in many areas of their lives. They may be in a strong financial position and have achieved great things in their careers. Lots are in happy and fulfilling relationships too.

Yet, something doesn’t feel quite complete… Something doesn’t quite click. In an otherwise successful game of life, you feel – or those around you say – that something's missing.

The trigger may be a career change or the feeling that you are no longer able to develop in your work. Perhaps you have made significant adjustments in your personal life. Illness, death, a new relationship, marriage, divorce... All these things, and many more can leave us feeling ‘all at sea’.

Important events, or our own personal blind spots, have an impact on our thinking and behaviour. It can take us many years to recognise it. When you do, coaching – personal coaching, life coaching or executive coaching – can be an invaluable guide as you find your path and assimilate that change. By doing this, you will make your life more rewarding.

Which type of coaching?

I work with private individuals and companies and you can choose from and combine several types of coaching. I draw on the wide range of my skills and life experience during sessions to help you reach your goals.

• life coaching – a solution-focused approach to achieve a result in specified areas of your life
• executive coaching – provides support to high performers who need a sounding board or who are seeking new skills to attain better results from themselves and their team
• business coaching – enhance your communication and interpersonal skills so you can create a powerful team and steer your business to the next level
• career coaching – helping you to achieve positive career outcomes and move forward from your current context
• relationship coaching – enabling you to understand your current reality and handle things differently, so you create positive, happy relationships

Why do clients choose me?

Clients tell me that my style of coaching works on a number of levels. The kinds of things I often hear in my feedback include:

1. I felt comfortable really early on in our session – you were extremely empathic and warm, which put me at my ease.
2. Because you have genuine business experience, I was confident that I could take our conversation where I needed it to go and that you would keep up. It’s great to work with an executive coach who has experience of working in and on a ‘real’ business.
3. I know that you are a fully qualified coach, accredited with the Association of Coaching.
4. Your breadth of training and experience gave me confidence that you could support me when I chose to explore some deeper, personal issues in our discussion.
5. As I got to know you better, I felt comfortable exploring the ways my goals fitted with my sense of meaning. This made our sessions even more valuable than I’d anticipated.
