A therapist will try help you to find out what might be holding you back in your life by delving into your past and exploring the experiences which limit you.
A consultant will present you an owner’s manual to your brain and tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the workings of your brain and the theory of its operation. They will then leave you to get on with it, returning six months later to see how well you have done in navigating your life.
A mentor will share their experience of life and the wisdom s/he has picked up along the way and leave you to learn from what has happened to them.

The coach – this is what we do! – will settle herself in your passenger seat and encourage, endorse, acknowledge and support you until you develop your own driving style and feel comfortable enough to go it alone.

Coaching in organisation and leadership settings is an invaluable tool for developing people across a wide range of needs. The benefits of coaching are many; 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills.

86% of companies report that they recouped their investment on coaching and more (source: ICF 2009).

Coaching provides an invaluable space for personal development. For example, managers are frequently presented with employees struggling with low confidence. The traditional approach would be to send them to an assertiveness course and hope this addresses the issue. In the short-term, the employee learns new strategies for communicating which may improve confidence. Unfortunately, in isolation these courses rarely produce a sustained increase in confidence. Although external behaviour may change; it needs to be supported by changes in their internal thought processes. This is often where coaching is most effective.

Managers should not underestimate the impact of coaching on their people as it frequently creates a fundamental shift in their approach to their work. For example, increased self-confidence enables employees to bring more of themselves into the workplace. This results in employees being more resilient and assertive.

The benefits of coaching in organisations:

• Empowers individuals and encourages them to take responsibility
• Increases employee and staff engagement
• Improves individual performance
• Helps identify and develop high potential employees
• Helps identify both organisational and individual strengths and development opportunities
• Helps to motivate and empower individuals to excel
• Demonstrates organisational commitment to human resource development

Rapport We create rapport in order that a deeper level of understanding is created. We focus on the whole person so that our relationship is deeper and more effective.

Observation and Interpretation As coaches, we notice breathing, pace, body language in order to create an open and honest environment.

Intuition A good coach has intuition and gut instinct and thus asks the relevant incisive questions in the correct manner to facilitate their client. This is something that an experienced, intelligent, intuitive coach would use, and it will powerfully shift perceptions.

Curiosity In coaching, this allows the client to reflect on questions that break down old defences and think in new ways.

Active/global listening Of course, a coach listens to the content of the coaching conversation, but listening behind the meaning of the story on a deeper level is key. We tune into to our clients’ vision, values and purpose, using all the senses and focus on the whole person.

Non-Judgemental When a coach is empathetic and non-judgemental, an open mind is maintained, so the client is empowered and therefore confident to achieve their desired outcome.

Confidentiality and trust Disclosure is key to self-discovery and taking action, and a coach should be seen to be on the client’s side and non-judgemental.

A role model As coaches, we walk our talk and set goals for ourselves. A coach learns and take action as we expect our clients to. We are committed, empathetic and lead by example in our coaching niche.

Great questioning technique We work to create open, assumptive, reflective, challenging questions and much more in our strategies, which are designed to draw out the ‘aha’ moments which change clients’ lives for good.

Effective communicator A coach creates a clear coaching alliance and agreement and meets the relevant needs of each client to empower and motivate them.
