Coaching is a useful way of developing people's skills and abilities, and of boosting performance. coaching session will typically take place as a conversation between the coach and the coachee (person being coached), and it focuses on helping the coachee discover answers for themselves. Most formal, professional coaching is carried out by qualified people who work with clients to improve their effectiveness and performance; helping them achieve their full potential.

Mentoring is a learning relationship, involving the sharing of skills, knowledge, and expertise between a mentor and mentee through developmental conversations. This could be methods of fundraising, self-employment, how to start and run a business and more. I offer “pure” coaching as well as a blend of coaching and mentoring, depending on what the client wants.

Initially we would have a free discovery call which could last anything between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the person. In this we would look at what you want to achieve, what the barriers are and what working together might look like. Most coaching journeys last around 6 sessions, but if you require more or less time, we can adjust as we go. My coaching style is flexible and can also cover additional support as required, including between sessions

DiSC is an acronym that stands for the four main personality profiles described in the DiSC model: (D)ominance, (i)nfluence, (S)teadiness and (C)onscientiousness.

People with D personalities tend to be confident and place an emphasis on accomplishing bottom-line results.

People with i personalities tend to be more open and place an emphasis on relationships and influencing or persuading others.

People with S personalities tend to be dependable and place an emphasis on cooperation and sincerity.

People with C personalities tend to place an emphasis on quality, accuracy, expertise, and competency.

I am a DISC certified coach and can arrange a full report as part of our work together. Understanding your personality style better will create better awareness of your strengths, your potential blind spots and your motivations

CORNERSTONE PRINCIPLES OF THE DISC MODEL

●All DiSC styles and priorities are equally valuable, and everyone is a blend of all styles

● DiSC is not about labeling people or putting them in boxes. Actually it’s the opposite – to get them out of their box and increase their behavioral amplitude

● Your DiSC style is mostly inborn but is also influenced by other factors such as life experiences, education and maturity

● Understanding yourself better is the first step to becoming more effective when working with others

● Learning about other people’s DiSC styles can help you understand their priorities and how they may differ from your own

● You can improve the quality of your life by using DiSC to build more effective relationships in your workplace, with your clients, and in your personal life

There is no perfect DiSC style. Each person has a unique behavioural profile and we believe that these differences are extremely valuable. Once you assess these differences and harness the value, you’ll have better workplace communication AND a healthier organization.

A “Power Hour” is a one-off dedicated call, which is actually scheduled for 75 minutes. This means that we get to pre brief on the call to set the context, we have a few minutes at the end to wrap up and review. This is because I want to ensure you get at least a full hour for us to achieve the most impact and progress possible. It’s a bit like going for a massage for an hour; you don’t want to be on the table for only 50 minutes because your time to get undressed and dressed again is deducted from your precious relaxation time. This is particularly suited to someone who has a plan but wants clarity on a timeline and prioritising tasks, or someone who has a problem to figure out.
