WHERE?
Where do I do what I do?
The coaching that I conduct can take place either face to face or over the telephone. There are several other ways in which I conduct coaching (by arrangement) and these also are listed below.
Telephone Coaching - By far and away the easiest way to carry out a coaching programme is over the phone. It involves less time before and after the session for both you and me. For this reason alone telephone coaching is also the cheapest option. Coaching sessions over the phone are, in my experience, no less powerful than face to face. Often in fact, because people are in their own comfortable surroundings and cannot be visually seen by the coach, people are inclined to open up a lot more over the telephone than they ever would face to face.
Face to Face Coaching - That said not everyone is comfortable on the telephone and face to face coaching is an alternative option. (With face to face sessions please be aware that a few minutes of the session will inevitably be used up saying hello, getting settled, packing up and saying farewells.) You can either come to me, I can come to you or we can meet at some previously agreed and suitable location. Obviously if I come to you or we meet at an agreed location then my fees will be higher to cover my extra time and costs.
Internet Coaching - Providing that you can touch type then coaching can also be conducted using an instant messenger system such as MSM. This has the great advantage that you and I both get to retain a manuscript of the session in full. I suppose that web cams may also provide a suitable medium but not having ever used one I cannot really say but am always up for trying something new if you would like to use this means of communication. If you fancy being my first ever client by webcam then let me know by email. For either of the online options dont even think of ringing me, e-mails only as first point of contact! Start as we mean to go on hey!
Group Coaching: Revealing Your Potential - I run a coaching workshop entitled Revealing Your Potential. This workshop is for use at residential gatherings or festivals and aims to motivate participants to spread the wings of their personal boundaries for the duration of the event. As with all my coaching I help participants create a boundary pushing vision of their coming future. In this case the future is the period of the event itself. Additionally I invite all participants to be influenced and directed by the central ethos of the event in all their thinking. Once the participants visions have been revealed we work together to see how we can make these visions happen for the individuals involved. Great fun with some excellent results and unexpected outcomes.
Group Coaching: Kick Start Programme - This is an eight week programme that i run for groups of twelve or more that takes an acute and deeply honest look at where we are with our lives and seeks to kick start our future. Over the eight weeks we will look at basic strategies for moving our lives in the directions that we desire as well as polish off all outstanding challenges that may be holding us back from moving on to higher pursuits. For those that commit to the process this can be a fantastic way of increasing the rate of positive change in their life and moving on to greener pastures.
Any Other Ideas - If you have any unusual requests for the delivery of coaching, however zany, then please don’t hesitate to contact me and put the idea. Don’t worry if you don’t know whether it is feasible or whether it will work, if it’s a good idea and sounds like fun then I will be up for it and we can then set about working out how to do it. That’s coaching for ya!
Where can I find links to other useful information?
I am a massive fan of sharing information and also of the internet medium for this purpose. Through the link above named, unexpectedly, links you can get access to the links that I personally find useful, whether for myself or for my clients. I will endeavour to provide a useful brief as to what each particular site is. Happy learning!
