What is coaching?
What a wonderful question. If you check out Wikipedia it says: "Coaching is a method of directing, instructing and training a person or group of people, with the aim to achieve some goal or develop specific skills."
However, my aim is to support, encourage and empower my clients to look at where they are at present, forgetting the stories which one carries around, and then make a true decision and act to make real a specific goal by a set time.
The areas in which I help people help themselves are varied. These areas range from career goals, relationship goals, health and fitness goals, wealth goals, also building confidence, spirituality and reciprocity goals. Naturally each goal is specific to each person - together with the way to achieve that specific goal.
We will be looking closely at things that you have taken for granted, such as values, attitudes and beliefs which each of us hold. Sometimes these areas can hold us back from fulfilling out true life's purpose.
I prefer to meet firstly with my clients on the telephone or on Skype. As building trust and understanding is paramount in having a good and honest working relationship. These session last from between 30 minutes and 60 minutes. For reasons of convenience some sessions are carried out by phone, however e-mails might be preferable.
Before starting out with a new client, I explain in detail which my responsibilities are and also my professionalism. For the relationship to be an honest one, I also expect that all homework given will be completed and handed in on time.
If I feel that a potential client is not able or willing to fulfil these prerequisites, I will not take on the client. I pride myself on having a 100% success rate in assisting people in achieving their goals.
Confidentially is paramount in all of my life coaching relationships. Areas and goals are treated with complete digression.
What life coaching is Not!
I hope that you will give me the opportunity to work with you, to achieve your goals, dreams or daily life challenges. With kind regards ...

The coaching industry in America is growing by 18 per cent a year, and it is gradually permeating our financial and political institutions, too. A survey conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development found that 63 per cent of its members have a coach. Last year it emerged that government departments, including No 10, the Foreign Office, the Cabinet Office and the Treasury, regularly employ life coaches at the taxpayer's expense. p>
