What is Life Coaching ? What is Business Coaching ?
Simply put, life-coaching begins when you want to do, be, or have something more than you have in your life now. I start by helping you clarify your goals and what you want to achieve. Some examples of what I've helped my clients achieve include:
Improving personal and professional relationships.
Creating systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Increasing sales/profits.
Building practical communication, relationship and business skills.
Getting finances in order.
Changing careers.
Stress reduction.
As a professional Life and Business Coach, I work in partnership with you to help you achieve exceptional results based upon goals set by you. The best possible results are achieved through using creative tools and personal skills building techniques as well as individually tailored one-to-one training.
Many people relate to coaching through the model of sports coaching. It’s very much the same, except the emphasis is on getting higher performance, fulfilment and success in your life, rather than achieving excellence in a particular sport.
General Benefits of Coaching:
Fresh perspectives on your personal and professional challenges.
Enhanced thinking and decision making skills.
Enhanced interpersonal effectiveness.
Improved self-knowledge, self-understanding and emotional intelligence.
Increased confidence in your personal and professional life.
Greater productivity.
More personal satisfaction.
More rapid achievement of your goals.
How Coaching Works
Coaching typically begins with an initial face-to-face consultation, either at your place of work or in my private consulting room. We aim to:
Assess your current opportunities and challenges.
Identify your priorities - what you really want out of life and work.
Establish goals and the specific outcomes you'd like to achieve.
Define the scope of our relationship.
Subsequent coaching sessions are conducted in person or over the telephone, with each session lasting about 60 minutes, as determined in our initial consultation. In each meeting, you choose the focus of conversation, while I listen and encourage you with supportive observations and questions. This interaction creates trust, safety, clarity and moves you into appropriate action. Coaching accelerates your progress toward fulfilment by providing greater focus and awareness of your choices. Are you ready for Coaching?
What is GroupWork?
GroupWork is related to psychotherapy, and like individual therapy, it is intended to help people improve their ability to cope with problems in their lives – whether private or business. GroupWork is concerned with promoting wellbeing in individuals as well as healthy growth in organisations through the provision of focused group interventions, supervision and support.
The aim of groupwork is to help people solve their emotional difficulties and to encourage personal responsibility and the development and growth of the participants in the group. When this is achieved, it is said that a group has become a focused work-group, and this has clear advantages in respect of promoting health among private individuals and teams in organisations.
How Does it Work?
In
groupwork, members of the group share with others personal issues which they are facing. Group members are encouraged to talk about
Events they have been involved in.
Their responses to these events.
Problems they have blocked or worked with.
In an atmosphere of safety, members can share their thoughts about what happened in previous sessions, and relate to issues raised by other members or what the facilitator said or did. Other members then have an opportunity to react back to their words
To encourage.
Give feedback.
Challenge or give support or
Share their thoughts and feelings in response to what they heard – or thought they heard!
Often people we meet in a group setting bring with them unresolved conflicts, memories and relationships from the past with whom they have experienced some difficulty. These unresolved issues promote anxiety and show themselves in the distorted way they relate to other people in the group. GroupWork offers an ideal opportunity to discuss and work through these difficult situations. An opportunity to deal with the past, in the present!
What You Can Expect From Me
Usually, you can expect there to be between 6 to 10 members in a group. Above 12 members, it is difficult to create a therapeutic atmosphere and have enough time for each member to work personally. Meeting once a week, sessions usually last from an hour to an hour and a half. The duration of the group depends on such things as the severity of the problems presented and the outcomes that are being sought. Groups of private individuals usually run for a several months while groups in organisations tend to be facilitated over a much shorter period.
I believe that vital to group life and its success is maintaining confidentiality and it is on this sure foundation that I facilitate group process. Without good boundaries there can be no trust, without trust there can be no change! Click here to contact me.
Counselling Skills Training
This introduction to counselling skills training course is designed for people who are studying counselling for the first time. The course will introduce you to a range of counselling theories and practices. A number of approaches are studied with a view to enabling students to apply aspects of theory and practice to various helping relationships, whether in formal work roles or in informal social, religious or voluntary activities. This is an integrative course and you will be taught how to understand the similarities and differences between a number of approaches in counselling.
Counselling and listening skills are introduced through people-centred and experiential methods of learning. Other topics include: groups and organisations; bereavement and loss; and the study of differences, such as ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. There will be an introduction to human attachment theory; the world of the unconscious mind; life scripts and the games people play and how you can take charge of your own life.
Over a period of 30 weeks you will learn how counselling ideas and practice can be of use in understanding human growth and emotional development, and in developing self-reflection and self-awareness you will learn how to take charge of your own life.
You may take the introduction to counselling on a stand-alone basis, as the basis for continuing professional development, or as a foundation for further study for a professional counselling qualification.
The focus is on student-centred approaches to learning, including practical exercises, discussions, presentations, seminars and groupwork. This is a skills based course so assessment it based on students keeping a learning journal, completing a number of practical assignments and 80% attendance.
