Coaching has been described by many as unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance and helping them to learn rather than teaching them. At times it is about unlearning unhelpful habits and re-learning how to learn. It is generative and different for each client, with the coach creating a unique and bespoke programme based on the client’s aims.

My purpose of coaching is to provide a powerful developmental experience for the individual that will generate clear benefits for them and their organisation. I aim to help the client to become more effective, confident and fulfilled in their roles and more successful in meeting their objectives. It is important that the coach supports and challenges the client to stretch and reach their ambitions, and although the coaching can only be effective if there is strong connection and trust between the coach and client, there needs to be honest and open conversations that raise client’s awareness and open up possibilities that may not have been available to them.

I draw on many coaching models & theories together with ideas from the field of organisation behaviour, leadership development, neuroscience, personality types, group dynamics and system thinking.
