Self-development has been a 'hobby' of mine for more than 20 years. During this time I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the world's greatest motivational
trainers and speakers -mostly American of course. I would like to make it clear that my style of coaching is most certainly not like that of people
such as Anthony Robbins. I guess my style is much more subdued, much more 'British'. Not that I am saying that Anthony Robbins does not produce some incredible results
with many of his clients. But I do not subscribe to the 'leap up and down and wave your arms in the air' style of coaching nor will I try to convince you to walk over hot coals - well, maybe metaphorically!
My background is distinctly 'nuts and bolts'. For 18 years I was the Managing Director of an industrial electronics company, and for three years Chairman of an International
Marketing Committee. Both positions gave me a great insight into power of coaching and how it can bring out the very best in people. I know from experience how goal setting
helps - I took-up my managing directorship at the age of 35. This was a goal realised! Perhaps because of my background, my coaching style is direct and straightforward -
no waffle, no bluster, just plain speaking. I set my goals and they were achieved and you can do the same.
"Each coaching session gave me the confidence to move closer to my goals through tasks I find difficult." Lynn (Lincs)
Why do I coach? because I know the tremendous difference that coaching can make to peoples life's. I have kept my coaching fees to a minimum to the enable the maximum number of people
to gain the great benefits of coaching. In some situations, I will coach for expenses only - especially when coaching young people is involved. Why do I do this? Because I
feel that coaching is more important than ever before for young people. Coaching with goal setting are two of the
surest ways of engendering self-respect in young people. Every pupil in secondary or higher education should have access to a personal life coach. This could make such a difference to all of our life's.
"Coaching is an interactive process where the coach guides and facilitates the client's progress towards
defined goals." The Coaching Academy.
I believe Life Coaching works on all levels. I believe that by goal setting - following the GROW model,
can improve the life and prospects of almost anyone. Self-belief is of course essential, but this is something that comes naturally when realistic goals are set.
You owe it to yourself to experience the immense benefits
that can be gained from having your own Life Coach.
So that's all about me - and some of my views and wishes. I do hope I will have the chance to coach you. Please don't hesitate in Contacting me if you would like further information on my coaching
style and experience
