I’ve tried coaching before and it felt good at the time, but I didn’t really move forward or meet the goals I set. How are you different?

There are many different coaches in the world. Each offers a different perspective and a different way of working. My motivation is: always be adding value. If our sessions feel good, but you don’t move forward then I’m not doing my job properly. I’m ambitious for you. I am as committed to you achieving your potential as you are. Even more so when you’re having a wobble.  You need to invest energy and time in the process too. It’s a collaboration. If we notice that you’re not moving forward, we’ll get to the bottom of it within our sessions.

I’ve met other coaches offering similar things. Why should I work with you?

Ah chemistry! Coaching sessions can be intense and you need to be in constant collaboration so that you make the impact that you want. Pick someone you can open up with. The best coaches will challenge you and occasionally get under your skin, so it’s not about picking your BFF, but you still need someone you feel comfortable around. I offer a complimentary strategy session so that we can see if we’re the right fit for each other. I only work with people who I feel I can add real value to.

What do you mean when you say “performance coaching”?

I use the term performance coaching very broadly. It’s me bringing all of my experience, expertise and skill to help you get what you want. I draw on different industries from sports to theatre to CBT to energy work so that we can tackle whatever is in your way.

My coaching background is in transformative coaching. This is a way of questioning and challenging beliefs so that you become the person you want to be. It’s more than just changing. Transformation is about rewiring yourself so that you make a lasting difference.

What am I actually going to get? Couldn’t I just Google the practical information myself?

We all have access to A LOT of information; books, articles, podcasts, tips from colleagues. There’s no shortage of wisdom out there.

However without an overarching strategy all of this information can become overwhelming and distracting. It’s not personal to you and your needs. Working with me is. Everything is filtered so that it is relevant and powerful for you. Most importantly we’re always working on how you make use of this information.

Often we know what we should do. Acting on it is a different matter. The coaching we do means you’ll benefit from practical advice that is personal to you.

Can you guarantee I’ll get the results I want?

Much though I’d love to, I can’t guarantee that you’ll get exactly the results you want within the timeframe that we work together. When we work together it’s a collaboration. We both have to bring our all to the process to get the most from it. That said all of my clients so far have seen very positive results from working together so I know that my approach works. What I can guarantee is that you will be changed by our work. I’m always focused on bringing massive value to you so I always aim for you to recoup your investment within your business or in terms of life satisfaction.

How can I be sure that the results will last?

Because this is transformational coaching, you won’t be the same person as you were when we started working together. This is lasting change. We also work on practical tactics that mean you'll build on each success and change your habits so that you continue to develop even after we stop working together.

Do you only see people face to face?

I prefer to see clients face to face so that I can get a real sense of them and their energy. Even if it’s not possible for you for all sessions. If you’re not in the UK, get in touch and we can see how to make it work.

How does the complimentary strategy session work?

I offer a complimentary two hour strategy session so that we can start work straight away. It’s an opportunity to get to know one another and see if we’re the right fit. Get in touch to schedule a time - in person or on Skype - and we’ll start work on what you want to achieve and discuss what might be holding you back. This initial session adds value straight away. After the session there is no obligation for you to work with me. Similarly if I don’t think I can add value to you I will tell you

I’m super busy leading a team and running a company, how can I fit this in?

If you don’t make time to step back from the day to day business of your life you won’t get where you want to go. Taking time to think strategically and work on yourself will guarantee that you get the results you want more quickly and more easily. The package I design for you will take into account the time you can allocate. It might be that a weekend intensive is better for you than an ongoing program. I’ll make sure that our work is set up in a way that is practical for you. At the same time, if you’re committed to achieving your potential, you’ll also need to get out of the headspace of not thinking you have time to change.

You haven’t shared your fees - how much do you charge?

Because I design programs that are bespoke to you, there’s not a one size fits all price. Once I have a better understanding of your needs I can give you a clear picture. I work with a limited number of clients at any one time so that I can be all in on their lives and business. This puts me at the premium end.
