Your coach is an independent resource.

• Coaching is collaborative, with a foundation of trust, honesty, respect and openness.
• Coaching is effective, focused and tailored to your specific needs.
• Coaching has a positive, healthy orientation.
• Coaching is not therapy. Coaching is particularly for those who are willing to take a healthier and deeper level of responsibility for their lives.
• Coaching is a safe place for you to explore new possibilities, to move beyond self-imposed limits and constraining ideas.
• Coaching is confidential within the limits of the law.

The development of Key Staff within organisations through the contracting of an unbiased external coach is a well-established practice within best practice organisations.

The coaching process will enable you to:

• Set bigger goals and then reach those goals
• Incorporate your passion into your business or career
• Focus better, produce results faster and more effectively
• Make, save and invest more money
• Do more than you would have done on your own
• Schedule time for creative expression
• Learn to say NO to people and projects that drain you
• Increase your time for YOU!
• Create more choices, ideas and options
• Accelerate performance improvement

The role of a coach is not the same as a consultant or counselor. A coach works with a client to explore the possibilities rather than deliver packaged solutions. A coach challenges, uncovers new options, evokes new behaviours and supports the client as they implement their chosen course.

A coaching relationship is about performance and achievement. Once you employ a coach, expect major changes in your life. This relationship allows the busy executive or business owner to work with a partner in the business, one who does not have an equity stake yet is committed to the business' bottom line, simply by bringing out the best in the key performers within the business.

The Coaching Process

We meet our clients personally or over the phone. Busy executives and business owners prefer to conduct coaching sessions one to two times per month. This process usually commences with a longer initial session conducted in the client's office.

We use the telephone to coach some clients so as to minimise time wastage and cater to clients who travel or those who are located Interstate or overseas. In between scheduled meetings the coach and client are in contact by email, fax and brief phone calls.

Each coaching session usually begins with a review of agreed goals and learnings before addressing the issues at hand in the current session.
