What is coaching?
It’s your road to success
“Good coaches know how to break down performance into its critical individual components. They are our external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality… breaking your actions down and then helping you build them back up again”
Sometimes we are too close to ourselves and our situations to see what our limitations are; or how to push past them to outperform in life and at work
A coach with rigorous coaching psychology training and decades of professional wisdom can offer you fresh perspectives; balancing academic evidence with real world experience
how does coaching differ from other forms of learning?
COACHING
Coaching is where you learn from drawing your own insights. In a coaching conversation, your coach guides you through a goal oriented, solution focused reflective process. Your coach is your thought partner. There is no set curriculum. Coaching is the most customised form of learning you will ever experience and you have complete control of the agenda in every session
Mentoring
Mentoring is where you learn from drawing upon someone else’s insights. In a mentoring conversation, your mentor provides wisdom and guidance based on their own knowledge and experiences. Your mentor is your thought leader. There is no set curriculum. You have complete control of the agenda in every session
Education moments
Education moments are bite sized pieces of information or learning injected into a coaching or mentoring conversation designed to heighten the creation of insight in the moment
Counselling, therapy and clinical psychology
Counselling, therapy and clinical psychology into your past &/or focus on a diagnosis to uncover and resolve underlying issues to help you move forward. They are historically oriented, problem focused processes. Whilst coaching and mentoring share a common evidence base with these disciplines, we acknowledge the whole and capable human being that you are right now. We only lightly dip into your past where necessary to inform how you can move forward
Coaching and mentoring maintain a future oriented, solution focused stance throughout the act of goal setting and goal striving. Coaching and mentoring are not a replacement for counselling, therapy or clinical psychology services
The choice is yours
What you do with the insights you gain is completely up to you. You are in control of what you act (or do not act) upon; regardless of whether you use coaching, mentoring or a combination of both. You are responsible for your own progress and performance
