Frequently Asked Questions

Coaches are specially trained to assist people in all walks of life in achieving their goals, living their values and be the best versions of themselves they can be.

Life coaching deals with all aspects of your life with the aim to improve them: personal, professional, health and relationships. 

It guides you in evaluating where you are now and where you want to get to by giving you new choices and instigating change.

Leadership coaching helps you improve on your people and communication skills, and strategic decision-making in your work life. 

Through coaching, you will be clear about what you want from life and work. You will go after it with passion, because you will have cleared away the obstacles that blocked you.

Your life will be happier and more satisfying in every aspect. Professionally, you will be more effective and skilled at your work and get better results.

Therapists often seek to understand your past, focusing on specific problems and traumas and help you to heal them. In therapy, you want to get away from pain or discomfort rather than move towards desired goals.

Consultants are specialists in their field and will answer your questions and give you recommendations and advice based on their knowledge and experience, and may implement some work for you. 

Coaches deal with functional people who want to focus on the present and future, get unstuck, grow personally and professionally, and create an extraordinary life. The primary focus is on creating actionable strategies for achieving specific goals in your work or personal life. A coach will ask you probing questions to bring out your vision and potential, and move you into action. 

All the work is done by you, the coach accompanies you along the way, pushing you to try more than you would dare on your own, and holds you accountable to your plan.  

The expectations and focus the client brings to the professional relationship sets the context as therapy, consulting or coaching.

There is no blanket answer to this question - probably not what you were hoping to read! - but coaching is not meant to be a "quick-fix" or a short-term relationship.

Realizations and shifts often start happening as soon as your first coaching session, with further self-reflection happening between sessions. However, it does take time to get to the nitty-gritty of the transformation you seek, and patience and perseverance are key. 

That is why I do not offer less than 8 sessions spread across 4 months, and also so that you commit to yourself seriously and give yourself a real chance at gaining some major insights. 

NB: this does not mean that you will necessarily have found the answers to all of your life questions within that period, but it will allow you to start moving forward and perceive things differently, leaving you free to continue with coaching if you wish.

Many clients choose to work with a coach on a continuing basis seeing it as integral to a purposeful life and fulfiling career, and will stay on for an average of 12 to 18 months, sometimes longer. 

After the initial 4 months, a personalized programme can be created together. 

That is a very good question! One that we will explore in person during your complimentary discovery chat. Book it now!

Please get in touch with me to discuss a tailor-made corporate package and rate should you be interested in coaching for your leaders or Masterclasses for your teams..

No. 

As your coach, my aim is for you to be autonomous and achieve what you want.

You are responsible for yourself and own the results of the coaching. 

Coaching works to make the client more self reliant, not less so.

Coaches do not coach addictions, deep psychological wounds, abuse issues, suicidal tendencies, mental illnesses etc. 

Coaches do not give financial, real estate, legal, or medical advice.
