What is Life Coaching?

The coach works with the client to achieve speedy, increased and sustainable effectiveness in their lives and careers through focused learning. The coach’s aim is to work with the client to achieve all of the client’s potential - as defined by the client. The coach has to have a self confident fascination with how people achieve their potential, have a desire to go with them on that journey with unbounded curiosity, intuition about what makes the person tick and have a high degree of self-knowledge to keep themselves out of the way and have the abillity to resist giving advice or wanting to be right.

Life coaching can inspire and develop you, your team or business to achieve transition, to optimise your performance so that you can be all that you want to be. It can be back in control of your life by providing you with support, expand and stretch your horizons whilst providing an independent, confidential sounding board. Life Coaching can also help in working with ‘career parents’ - appreciating that becoming a parent for the first time can be challenging, the excitement of pregnancy is often accompanied by the fears of juggling childcare and work; maternity leave only adds to the fears potentially causing loss of focus, confidence and self esteem. We can work in collaboration with employers to partner senior executive women before, during and after maternity to leave to facililtate and support the transformation in order to leave work, enjoy maternity, stay motivated and match the pace on their return to work - whilst striking the right work-life balance.
