IS COACHING FOR ME?

Coaching does not mean you were under achieving in your role. It’s not even about how good you are now and rather how good you will eventually be, that matters. Nearly all great leaders, athletes, musicians or performers had a coach help them so they didn’t have to do it on their own, alone. We all have perspectives of how we see the world or describe success and it is that narrative or reason why we either continue forward or remain stuck.

Having an ICF accredited coach who upholds the ICF Code of Ethics and believes in a transformative partnership, and someone you can trust to speak freely with can be a very rewarding investment in yourself. It is an empowering approach to challenging the perspectives and patterns of behaviour that shape your narrative and doing the hard work we can begin to unearth your true inner reflection, to start building resourcefulness, new insights, and renewed confidence to let our imperfect brilliance shine to reach our potential. Coaching can have a profound and positive effect on levels of growth you once didn’t think were possible. In the words of Nelson Mandela: “It seems impossible, until it’s done.”

Coaching is for everyone, who is engaged with investing the time and energy into themselves, who desires feedback and perspective to help them grow and improve.  It is for those interested in how they get better at what they do,  including Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt, CEO and executive chairman of Google (2001-2015).
