Frequently asked questions.
+ What are some frequently asked questions about coaching?
What is coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative partnership between you and a coach built on trust, this gives you space to discuss and explore your values, beliefs and goals. Coaching is non directive, non judgemental and always to your agenda, so where you may be the coach will hold space with you to get to where you want to be. Coaching is a mix of high support and high challenge through listening, questioning and feedback to uncover your intrinsic values, build your confidence, think differently and set goals to achieve your personal and professional potential.
Coaching is NOT:
a kick up the butt (but you will be accountable to yourself and your coach)
therapy / counselling (but some techniques of counselling are shared with coaching. Coaches are non judgemental and any subject can be broached by you.)
mentoring / expert advice (but a coach helps you find your solution from within, and may offer non committed suggestions - it’s up to you to choose what to do with them).
Who is coaching for?
Coaching is for anyone. It is not just for high level go-getters or people with “problems”.
Do you want to feel more connected to yourself? Improve relationships? Increase confidence? Do you want to live a more fulfilled life? Do you want support and challenge to understand and achieve your goals?
Yes?? Coaching could well be for you.
What do the sessions look like?
My 1:1 coaching sessions can be in person (if you're local to Sheffield) or via Teams video call.
Teams means that you can choose a place that you feel safe and can speak openly. If in person we will agree on a suitable location, usually a local coffee shop. Most sessions are 60minutes, but if longer sessions would work better for you we can discuss this in your initial strategy call.
Are results guaranteed?
Ask that question of yourself. Do you guarantee yourself results? Do you commit to allowing yourself to change your thoughts? Do you commit to being open? The results of coaching can be huge, and are relative to the commitment and mindset of the client.
Will anyone find out what we discuss?
No, coaching is 100% confidential. Nothing is discussed outside of our coaching with the exception of legal reasons which are explained in my agreement with you as a client.
