What Is Coaching?

Imagine that you go outside your house and talk to a lamppost on the street. You tell the lamppost what you think about your business issues or that creative project you’ve always wanted to do.

You think about what action you could take towards those insights. You make a commitment to the lamppost that you will go away and do two or three of those action points.

In two weeks time you report back to the lamppost, tell it about your progress, think a bit more about what you want and then commit once again to some stuff that you are going to go away and do.

It sounds crazy but if you met up with that lamppost once a fortnight for the next few months you would get a lot done!

Now imagine if that lamppost could talk back. Imagine if it could cheer you on if you were flagging.

Imagine if it had a few tools and tips that would help you even more.

This is what a coach can do for you!

I offer two types of coaching

Business Therapy Coaching: this is for business owners. It’s not business coaching in the traditional sense because I don’t tell you how to build your business. Instead, as the lamppost analogy suggests, I act as a sounding board where you can have confidential conversations about what you really feel about your business. Together we can figure out an action plan.

Life Coaching: suited to creative folk who would like some hand-holding as they embark on a new creative project or a new phase of life. You may be juggling a day job, contract work or family responsibilities but you want to invest in yourself and your own needs.

In both cases I can offer tools and techniques that help you to prioritise your time, take adequate care of yourself and gently nudge you into the action you know you ought to be taking.
