Coaching & Mentoring

“Listening of this calibre ignites the human mind”
(Nancy Kline)

I am an experienced coach and mentor. Coaching is a one to one confidential approach guided by your agenda, purpose and goals. Coaching has a forward focus and is result orientated. The coach provides a structured framework which aims to free up the coachee’s thinking. Coaching is a process designed to help someone think more clearly (and with energy and direction) about a specific issue or general focus, so that they can move forwards in relation to their individual goals. Goals may include achieving a set of changes or transitions, a certain way of being, a plan, direction or decision etc.

What is Coaching?

“Coaching is an illuminating journey”
(Sue Spencer)

“With high calibre listening and incisive questions people solve problems they thought were hopeless”
(Nancy Kline)

What is work-related coaching? Or Executive Coaching?
(when the coachee is in a senior work role this is called Executive Coaching)

“Coaching is a powerful vehicle for increased awareness and performance, achieving results and optimising effectiveness”
(Cox et al.)

We are often busy at work and we don’t have enough time to stop and think about what we are doing and why, or it can be that important information is outside of our awareness, limiting our thinking and holding us back. Creating space to think with a coach can help you develop increased awareness of yourself, a situation or other people, become more focused, identify new perspectives, make decisions that you can drive forwards, improve your well-being and increase effectiveness at work.

Why do professionals use coaches?
Many people who seek coaching are highly skilled professionals who value having a “thinking partner”.

Sometimes people seek coaching at a time of development or transition or when there is a time of increased pressure or stress.

Everyone is capable of better results and coaching can focus on areas such as: improving specific skills (e.g. influencing, leadership and/or management skills), developing new ways of being in situations, managing organisational issues and/or change initiatives, work-life balance, preventing or managing stress, and overall effectiveness at work. Sometimes people seek coaching at a time when they are considering making changes in their life or when they are transitioning to a new role.

Life Coaching

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”
(Zen proverb)

Life coaching is coaching focussed on something specific in your life such as to rediscover your own strength and abilities: this can include excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled at home, managing work-life balance, improved health and well-being, exploring your potential, managing health issues.

Don’t worry if these descriptions don’t fit for you, coaching is for everyone and is adapted to suit you to develop further awareness in an area you want to focus on, in order to help you decide, what the right positive changes are for you.

What are the benefits of coaching?

“The best moments in coaching are when I see the coachee’s eyes spark; they are inspired; their thinking is rich and they fly, right before my eyes”
(Angela Turner)

I am impressed by the changes that I see when people make use of coaching to focus on the areas that are important to them. I notice that many people experience benefits over a relatively short space of time such as 6 sessions over 4-6 months. I am really motivated when I hear people describing their experience of coaching as “life changing” or “I am now a better version of me” and “The insight and tools transformed my life”. Coaching provides a framework and this structured approach seems to benefit people and enable them to make progress.

Outcomes from coaching vary depending on what you focus on, and how motivated you are. Outcomes typically include: increased confidence and effectiveness, increased self-awareness, better people skills, improved leadership and management skills, successfully making specific decisions and driving these forward, readiness for promotion or change, adapting to something difficult or a transition, having a more balanced life and lower stress levels.

What is mentoring?

“Mentoring is an illuminating journey with a trusted guide who has followed a similar path”
(Sue Spencer)

Mentoring is coaching where the mentor has some relevant life experience to bring to the work with the mentee. This can be an obvious explicit experience such as being the same professional background, a change focus such as transitioning from working in the NHS to Independent practice, working in leadership positions or implicitly being an experienced human being. Mentoring typically includes sharing some of the mentor’s experiences as part of the process, in a way designed to help the mentee.
