My coaching method & approach

My coaching is founded on an eclectic and person-centric philosophy. I start any coaching engagement with a discovery questionnaire that surfaces up important insights about the client, their environment and how they want to be coached.

All the coaching series / packages then start of with a foundation session where we co-design the optimum coaching environment, approach and coach - coachee relationship as well as the (initial) focus for coaching.

During subsequent coaching session I then attend fully to what we have co-designed and pull into the coaching what is appropriate from a wide range of models, approaches, theories and concepts - completely tailored to the person "sitting" in front of me; where they are currently at and where they would like go.

Coaching clients are also requested to complete a survey at the start of coaching, at the completion of coaching and at 3, 6 and 12 months after coaching to measure the outcomes / value generated from coaching and the sustainability of the outcomes / value.
