Personal Coaching… Is it for you?
"Let me hold that place of expansion for you..."

Coaching works when the following two key factors are present –

1. The client is willing to grow and change and is willing to take action
2. There is a gap between where they are now and where they wish to be

There are many reasons why people seek a private coach… some of these reasons are listed below:

	They are looking for more balance between work and home
	They are feeling burnt out, stressed, or flat
	They feel like they are stuck or going nowhere with their lives
	They are in a transition phase and looking for the next move
	They have lost their job or relationship
	They are not having any fun or have lost their creative edge
	They realize the need for change but lack the courage or direction to take action
	Their career is going nowhere
	They wish to increase their financial prospects

If you can relate to the above, read on to discover what you can expect from the process:
THE ROLE OF THE COACH:
The coach is there to help you achieve your best and will expect no less from you. The coach will believe in you and encourage you to take action, set and achieve goals, believe in yourself, reach your true potential. Unlike consulting the coach is not there to give you the answers or take action for you, rather they are there to guide and encourage because you will be creating the life you desire.
The role of the coach is different to the role of the consultant, trainer, mentor, or therapist as the coach is there with one agenda only… Yours. The coach is there to help with your clarity, provide some structure to achieve lasting results, and support to achieve it all.

The coach will:

	Listen unconditionally
	Provide support
	Help you see the positive
	Hold you to your commitments
	Remind you of your strengths
	Challenge your thinking and beliefs
	Provide perspective

YOUR ROLE AS A CLIENT:
Your role will be to show up, take action as required, complete tasks and “homework”, and believe in yourself.
How to maximize your results from a coach

THE COACHING PROCESS: 
Each week you will spend 45 - 60 minutes with your coach either on the phone or in person. During that time you will be working towards a goal/s that you set together. In the interim between appointments you will have access to your coach through email or the phone and your coach will contact you occasionally to “check in” and see how you are doing.
