What is Coaching and how can it help you...

Coaching is a process where a coach supports you to make a change, learn something new or achieve your goals.
The process of coaching happens through conversation, and can take place face-to-face, over the phone, or online
The ultimate aim is to help you make progress in a certain area of your life, at work or to overcome a problem you're struggling with. Here we’ll dive into the way coaching works, what makes it different from other approaches and your next steps if you’re feeling ready to start your coaching journey.

How coaching works

A key belief that underpins coaching is that we already have the answers we need within us. My role as a coach is to help you find these answers. This is done through a number of conversational techniques including questioning, active listening, observation and reflecting back.
When these techniques are used, you gain greater self-awareness and often an insight you hadn’t seen previously. Having a non-biased, non-judgmental person available to provide focused attention gives you space to understand how to move forward.
Some coaches will use NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) techniques in their work and some will use tools such as journaling and meditation to support the conversational work. There are various models that can be used within coaching, such as the GROW model and some coaches will take a more fluid/intuitive approach.
To ensure progress is being made, coaching often focuses on goal-setting. You will typically be encouraged to create a list of action points following a session so you know what steps are needed to keep moving forward.

The benefits of coaching

Working with a coach offers a number of benefits. Regardless of your aims, dedicating time and space to personal/professional development helps to improve confidence and a sense of self-worth.
If you’re feeling lost or unsure about something, coaching can provide clarity, direction and focus. If you’re struggling to make a change, coaching can help raise your self-awareness and both understand and change certain behaviours.
If you’re finding it difficult to motivate yourself and make things happen in your life or work, coaching can offer accountability and help you define your purpose. And finally if you simply need to learn a new skill (from sports to building emotional resilience) coaching can help accelerate your learning.
Coaching relies on your commitment to the process and an open, honest relationship with the coach. With a focus of forward progression, unlocking potential and achieving goals, it’s no surprise that many people call coaching ‘life changing’.
