Coaching Information

What is Coaching?

Unfortunately there is no agreed single definition of coaching.  If you ask any two coaches what their definition of coaching is they will give you two different answers.   That does not mean that they are wrong it's just that coaching means different things to different people.   We like the following description of coaching

Coaching explained

 "Whether it's part of a whole new hunt for direction and meaning in our lives or simply a way of dealing with the pressures of 21st Century living, coaching is increasingly being embraced by those wanting to explore their potential and gain greater satisfaction from life and work,  This has spawned a new, highly motivating, fun and exciting industry that is both real and results orientated. Coaching is about making time for you. Imagine a relationship where the total focus in on you, on what you want in life and what will help you achieve it.   There is no other relationship that offers this level of support and encouragement. A coach is someone you can bounce idea's off, brainstorm with and jump start your energy with."

Our definition of Coaching

Coaching is about having a great relationship with someone who will help you to bring out the best in yourself,    Coaching is one of the most empowering activities that you can engage in but only with the right coaching. 

Different types of Coaching

There are different types of Coaching but the four primary types are Life Coaching, Executive Coaching, Business Coaching and Career Coaching.

Life Coaching is a future-focused practice with the aim of helping clients determine and achieve personal goals. Life Coaches work with individuals who want to restructure, improve or find balance in their lives.

Executive coaching is an individualised, one to one relationship designed to assist executives in developing and enhancing their professional effectiveness and on the job performance.

Business coaching is the practice of providing positive support and positive feedback while offering occasional advice to an individual or group in order to help them recognize ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business.

Career coaching is a process which helps individuals discover what they really want to do with their lives and then develop a strategy to achieve it.

Each type of coaching has specialities that are listed in our Find a Coach Section.   For more information on either Life Coaching, Business Coaching, Executive Coaching or Career Coaching click on the links on the Left hand side of the page.
