Curious to know what happens in a coaching session?

Here’s some information on how we can work together.

In a coaching session, I’ll support you in the following ways:

1) I’ll create a safe space where you can be yourself, whether you’re having a great day or a grim day. I meet you where you’re at and you set the direction and the pace of a coaching session. No judgement.

2) I’ll listen carefully and ask you thoughtful questions to enable you to deepen your understanding and identify steps to help you develop and shine and encourage the shift to improve your skills and performance.

3) I’ll introduce you to tools, processes, and behaviours so that you can develop and explore new possibilities.

4) I’ll offer thoughtful and constructive feedback during any role play or rehearsal where you practice your skills for an event. This, for example, could be around giving feedback, motivating a team, storytelling to inspire, delivering bad news, or practicing active listening skills.

5) I’ll guide you through a series of short, fun exercises to grow your communication muscle. These exercises focus on things like creative ways to start and end a talk, how and where to use questions and pauses to engage with others, how to use structure, effective influencing skills and increasing your executive presence.
