What is Coaching?

Often when we think of coaching, we think of a sports coach. And what does a sports coach do? Well, they encourage and empower the athletes they work with to be better! I’d argue that sports coaches are also mentors, because they use their experience to TELL the athletes what to do – and coaching is NOT about telling people what to do.

So if it’s not mentoring – what is it?

Coaching is is a powerful way of unlocking your dreams and desires, and helping to remove the blockers that prevent you from reaching them!

This can be via powerful coaching questions, exercises, or simply by giving someone the time and space to think and expand into how they feel. Mostly, it’s a combination of all 3!

How does coaching work?

My coaching sessions are normally an hour long, and their focus is client dependant! You might have a problem you want to bring to the session to solve, you might want to explore some options about something in your career, relationship, or family life. We work together to find the outcome you’re looking for (if you know) and we kind of work backwards. Most of the time there will be actions or goals as a result of the session, but that’s up to you!

It’s hard to describe what a coaching session is like, if you’ve never had one – coaching can be powerful, magical, thought provoking and life changing! I’ve certainly experienced this in sessions as a coach and as a coachee!

Why should I have a coach?

You might be a person who has their life path figured out. You might think coaches are for sportspeople and Managing Directors! But Coaching isn’t just for elite sports and businesspeople – it’s for anyone who wants to level up in life. You might be looking to improve your personal relationships, boost your career prospects, or enhance your overall well-being. And a coach can help with all of these, and more!
