Personal Self-Development & Executive Coaching
For personal or professional self-development and growth
let's find those next small steps
that will move you closer to your goals.
Some questions for you...
What matters?
What do you want to reach?
What impact do you want to have?
What is holding you back?
What is working? What is frustrating?
What are you naturally good at?
What are you doing to improve things?
What if things were different?
What happens if you fail?
What happens if you don't fail?
What can you take control of?
What small steps can you take today in the right direction?
You might be at an unsettling transition point in your life.
Or, you are perhaps feeling a bit lost, or confused, or frustrated, or maybe just stuck in some area of your life or career - and not sure why.
On the other hand you might simply be wanting to more clearly identify what you want next, or what is now really important to you.
Do you want to review and re-assess your goals, ambitions and intentions?
Are you about to step into an area of life you have not experienced before?
Are you about to enter the world of work or are you mid-career or are you approaching retirement?
Are you approaching a new personal or professional role?
Are you trying to figure out what to do next or where now to put your energies and focus?
Are you about to take a career break or to start exploring further education?
Are you looking for a new job?
Are you developing an interest or some other form of commitment?
Or, are you feeling like you are going nowhere, just round and round, and you want to go somewhere else?
Are you needing to think something through?
Do you want to push yourself?
Are you impatient for change?
Are you hungry to grow?
Personal coaching can help you unlock and apply your strengths in all areas of your life and make the positive progress that you want.
In our sessions, my role as a coach will be to:
Help you identify your coaching goals and the next small steps you can take to achieve them
Ask questions to help you explore and unlock issues and options
Actively listen to you
Support and challenge you appropriately
Help you learn, grow and work things out for yourself
Help you explore what support you need and how or where to find it
Help you explore options and the advantages and disadvantages of different courses of action
If appropriate, help you reflect on relevant past experiences with the intention of finding learnings from them that could be helpful in achieving your goals
Be honest and open with you
Give you constructive feedback as and when appropriate and agreed
Support you in identifying specific actions and ways forward to support your development needs and desires
Hold you to account for agreed actions and explore with you the reasons for actions that might not have been completed
Be alert to, and raise for awareness, the potential for any conflict of interests that might arise
Work in alignment with and abide by the International Coaching Federation's Code of Ethics, values and professional behavioural and competency standards.
Take any issues or difficulties relating to my coaching competencies or skills or to matters relevant to the ethical guidelines and professional standards of the International Coaching Federation to my professional Supervisor, but without breaking confidentiality
Other than visual or auditory disclosure arising from any recorded sessions which you, at the time, may agree can be shared with my professional Supervisor for my professional performance, learning, development and accreditation, maintain complete confidentiality unless there is convincing evidence of serious danger to yourself or to others

For your part, your responsibilities and obligations will be to:
Think about what you would like to explore during your sessions and prepare for them
Be honest and open in your conversations

Capture learnings, insights and helpful thoughts and ideas that emerge for you e.g. take notes as may be needed by you during the sessions
Reflect between sessions
Capture and carry through actions that you have committed to in the sessions – and be willing to explore the reasons, if they are not then carried through, as to why
Provide feedback to me on your coaching experience
If requested, provide feedback on your coaching experience to my coaching Supervisor, or to relevant professional accreditation or regulatory bodies,.
