We might all face situations that are new to us as we go through life, whether that be in a work situation or indeed something that is going on for you at home.
When that happens it is sometimes hard to know what to do next - particularly if you have a number of options where you have to choose just one!
There are a whole range of situations where you might want to find a way forward - and coaching is ideal for enabling you to make that next move.
The kind of coaching I am involved in is called solution focused.
This means you might at least expect the following from me:-
An expertise on my part in helping you redefine the situation you are in
A stance where I help move you closer to where you would like to be
The use of future oriented questions and techniques to help you reach your goals
A focus on the you which then has impact on the world around you in terms of
the way things change at work , home or some other personal area of life.
Solutions come from your own world rather than any I may have - it is a process
of discovering your strengths and what works for you,and doing more of them
The Process
The actual process is straightforward.
Once we agree that we want to work together, then we begin by looking at where you want to get to, using your creativity and imagination to paint the kind of picture you really would like to have.
We then do some detective work and find out from you the skills and abilities that make you who you are - and the kinds of skills and abilities you would like to see even more of as the future starts to unfold.
Some of that detective work also looks for times when you are already achieving what you want even if that is for a brief moment - I work on the basis that if you have achieved something once then by exploring what was different at that time we may well be able to recreate it.
In all this exploration then we will find things that will naturally move you on using whatever works for you - and using a variety of techniques we will measure that upward trend to the point you reach that you consider "good enough".
Your commitment
If you are serious about making these changes then it will require a commitment from you to keep going!
The best kind of journeys are those where you end up where you want to get to - even if that is somewhere different from where you originally planned to be at the start of the journey!
If this is something you feel you would like to do then please get in touch to discuss this further!
