Getting to the root
What inspires me as a coach is getting right down to the root of the challenge; right down to the nerve of what holds us back – why we battle with change and become risk-averse. And then to inspire others to overcome these obstacles – to become “change fit” and fearless and leap over hurdles.
I frequently work with engineers, accountants and other executives who spend a lot of their time working in the detail. By drawing on multiple coaching techniques and disciplines, I assist them in withdrawing from the detail, to expand their thinking beyond the confines of their structures in order to get a big picture view, and develop their own lateral and creative leadership styles.
My clients say that my forthright, honest, robust and enthusiastic approach is what they have come to enjoy most about working with me. And what I do is exciting: I fulfill a co- creative, collaborative role in helping others reach beyond their imagined blocks and self-imposed limitations, to a place where they can begin to realise the enormity of their potential, and feel inspired and empowered to be their best.
Coaching is a sustainable method for engaging in adult learning and change. It presents and introduces the appropriate tools at the appropriate times – the tools most effective for self-actualisation and advancement.
Coaching enables me to challenge people, to question, “What’s stopping you?” and at the same time partner with them toward their success.
