1-2-1 Journal Coaching Session
Every coach is likely to answer this question slightly differently. The research shows that it is not the methods or approach that a coach uses that determines outcomes; it is the quality of the relationship and the client’s belief in their own ability to change.
Having said that, I believe coaching is a powerful forum for personal reflection, learning and change. Coaching gives clients an opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways of living and working more satisfyingly, resourcefully and successfully.
I see the coaching relationship as a partnership – an equal relationship – allowing you the freedom to think and express yourself in a supportive, yet challenging, environment. I’m here to help you explore your goals, dilemmas, challenges or choices so that you can be the kind of person that you would like to be, to achieve the kind of life and work that you would like to have and to achieve the goals that you would like to meet.
The longer I coach, the more inadequate I think labels are. After all, there are dozens of different kinds of coaches, counsellors or consultants. I don’t find the distinction between “life coach” and “executive coach” helpful – as if executives don’t have lives.
What I am interested in is the whole person – how you think, how you feel and how you behave. They are connected. The most sustainable aspect of all is how you are. This is the territory for our coaching together.
I will ask questions, encourage, advise, challenge, make requests and listen deeply so that you are consistent with who you are in terms of your goals, your values and your vision.
The focus will be upon you and what you can do to build on your strengths, reduce your blind spots and lead a more joyful, purposeful life.
As an Ashridge and EMCC accredited coach, I comply with the Ashridge Code of Coaching Conduct.
The sessions are completely confidential, apart from my work with my coaching supervisor. Having a coach supervisor is standard practice for an accredited coach and helps coaches to work as well as they can with all their clients. Coach supervisors are bound by the same code of ethics and confidentiality.
Coaches keep short written notes of sessions. They are not shared with anyone else and are stored securely.
For the purpose of further accreditation and continuing professional development, I may submit written or recorded material of some sessions for evaluation. Any such written material will be disguised to protect your identity and will only be reviewed by others bound by the same or compatible Code of Ethics.
