Who is coaching for?

Coaching is for people who want to handle their lives better than they’re handling it now.

How long does it take?

Coaching is usually a series of weekly, one hour, telephone or face to face conversations which can continue for as long as both the client and the coach judge that it’s worthwhile. With some people it can be short-term, say a three month series and with others it can continue for a year or more. Some people see it as an integral part of their lives.

What do we talk about?

We can work on your business or your career, but I want you to know that for me everything is connected. Your relationships and your well-being are central parts of your life. This means that I’ll ask you about all your roles: parent, child, sibling, friend, partner, manager, colleague, etc., how you are sleeping, eating, having fun, and spending free time, exercising, about how you are managing your money. I want you to know that for me your well-being is an essential component in your business success. What’s important for me is that you get your results comfortably. My goal is for you to attain calm, balanced and sustainable success in your business and in your private life.  Everything is connected.

The following statement might be a bit difficult to chew on. Everything that exists in your environment is yours. You choose it. You create it. You tolerate it. You interpret it. You can transform it.

What do you think of that? Contact me if you want to talk about it.

We will look at who you are relative to every subject you bring into our discussions. For example: when you come home or enter a meeting I will ask you: who are the people meeting when you came into the room? How was the meeting affected by who you were there? Which parent did your kids meet when you came home from work? Which spouse came home? Calm, angry, worried, loving, happy, enthusiastic, exhausted? How does this influence what happens at home?

I believe that exceptional business and life results are a function of communication and 90% of communication is listening. So I will coach you on how you speak and how you listen, how you manage conversations and meetings, make requests, make decisions, give feedback. How you handle relationships with your clients, your suppliers. My goal is that you should always get the best out of others and that you work through WIN-WIN. Win-lose is not sustainable.

The highest spiritual level is to benefit yourself while benefiting others, preventing harm from yourself and preventing harm from others. All our lives we are communicating and that is what produces our results.

I will always listen to your greatness. I’m always on your side. Both of our minds will be working for you. I am never against you. You live in an environment in which it is easy to lose sight of what is up and what is down. In conflict situations I will protect your integrity. I will always be on the side of WIN-WIN, on the side of cleanliness. I’ll take the side of your highest values.  I cannot be convinced that negative behaviour can work.

I will work with you on who you are being and how that relates to your actions. All through your education you have been learning and training about how to get things done. That’s great. Together we will take that a few steps forward. We’re going to work on who you are being while you are doing.

What is the process?

• Our foundation session will last between two and two and a half hours.
• After this session I’ll send you a series of questions concerning your vision and goals. I call this your “Road Map”. We'll look at your goals and at what's important for you. We’ll spend a number of sessions looking deeply into your Road Map and it might change a few times in this process.
• I suggest a process of around a year. Between 1 to 1.5 hours per weekly session. There might be times when we include training or when I might recommend consultation with an expert in a particular field. We will see as we go along.
