Why coaching?


I love to see those 'a ha!' moments - when a person lights up from the inside because they've got the answer they've been searching for and they know what needs to be done and they've found the courage to do it! That's why I coach


What is coaching?

Google will spew out a million answers to this question. But here's mine:


.Coaching is a process through which individuals maximizes their potential to be the very best version of themselves.


Coaching is a process: it’s a journey. Sometimes an uncomfortable one because it requires self-reflection and honesty. As humans, we generally shy away from discomfort. But to have an impactful coaching experience, it is vital to “get comfortable with the uncomfortable”. Coaching is also not a ‘quick fix’ . A true coaching experience will require the individual to identify root causes, make some choices, apply those choices consistently until new skills, capabilities and behaviours are honed. That takes time. In a world where instant gratification is the order of the day, this may not be the popular answer, but it is a journey to the other side.


Coaching is about maximising potential: you can only develop what you already have. It is about creating the very best version of you. It is not a remedial intervention. It is a growth initiative.


Finally, coaching is about YOU. The purpose for the coaching journey should be clear to you. What is your ‘why?’ That reason is what will ultimately keep you focussed, making the right choices, be consistent, especially when the journey gets uncomfortable.
