Co-creating lasting change in service of your growth

Coaching does not teach, or guide, or tell what to do. Coaching builds our own capacity to delve deeper and ask ourselves fundamentally better questions. It accompanies beyond those points where, alone, we often get stuck. It helps us navigate transition and clarify direction. It offers perspectives we haven’t thought of (the double perspective is in itself clarifying). It illuminates self-limiting beliefs. It asks the questions we are avoiding. Being accountable to someone else sharpens focus and makes it easier to take effective action. And when life gets tough, it’s good and important to have companionship on the road.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.

‘Magic wand coaching’ is not what I do. I don’t promise to fix you (you’re not broken, so no-one can). I don’t promise that deep work will be easy or follow certain (‘award-winning/ guaranteed/ trademarked/ shiny new’) steps. I don’t promise to exert power – I aim to help YOU exert power. The person who is generous with themselves in engaging thoroughly with coaching really sees their life and work expand. We are a genuine partnership, but YOUR work is the real treasure, and that will be what makes the difference.
