At the heart of my coaching, I seek to create space for my coachees to explore what is on their mind, make connections in their unsaid thoughts that helps them discover clarity through their reflections, and gain what they are looking for through coaching. Underpinning my approach is my belief that my coachees are resourceful and will find ways forward that work for them.
I look to coach the whole person as they show up in that moment we are working together. I take this approach because I believe that supporting a someone to work through what’s foremost on their mind will indirectly yet essentially help them work towards their overall coaching objectives. My experience has helped to reinforce my view that working with someone on the things that are present right at that moment, provides valuable insight and clarity and can then help them make progress towards their overall coaching objectives.
In coaching in this way, my intention is to help people be their whole selves in their work and as a leader, creating a positive workplace culture and role-modelling positive leadership that has benefits for themselves, the people they work with and their organisation.
