I am a personal, life and executive coach with at least 22 years’ of expertise in the areas of career, business, personal development, leadership, relationship, confidence, influence and impact
I coach people on an individual basis, as in personal coaching and life coaching, and also work with SME business owners and with executives in organisations in the private and public sectors, in the UK and internationally. This can include career development and change, starting and building a business, personal development, improving relationships, developing leadership skills, enhancing emotional intelligence, creating a better impact and influence on others, raising self-esteem and self-confidence, designing your personal mission and life purpose, and coaching for results.
My approach is very practical and focused and I seek to help the client develop their ideas as to the way forward both by skilful and insightful questions but also from my own knowledge and experience. I have a focus on facilitating personal responsibility and choice and helping find where a person’s real growing edge lies that when effectively leveraged brings about maximum growth and change and the accomplishment of their goals.
Where relevant I also use a mindfulness approach, especially where people feel under pressure and where a mindfulness approach can help achieve greater calmness, clarity, focus, and confidence and thus make better choices. Mindfulness helps people become more skilled at stepping back from what is going on, become more centred in who they are, use awareness to see what’s really happening, if necessary to let go of what’s not working, be more in-the-moment, develop clarity, focus, choice and new directions, become more resilient, and more resonant and effective with others, and bring others with them if they are a leader.
I coach people by phone, online and face-to-face if they can come to where I am based.
