WHO BENEFITS from Coaching?

Anyone who has an important project (one close to his/her heart) and needs to complete the project faster than if he/she was alone to manage it.

Business people use Coaching for many purposes:

- Evaluate a difficult situation from an objective point of view.
- Help getting a new project off the ground.
- People at the top find an objective person to discuss their ideas with.
- Coaching boosts staff performance and bring out Managers' skills.
- Managers clarify priorities and promote achievement.
- Teams are energized.
- Motivation and internal communications improve.
- Staff are helped to adjust to evolution and transitions.

Individuals use Coaching for all sorts of reasons:

- To get help to get out of a difficult period, such as a career transition, a creative block or difficulties at work.
- To help manage time and organisation in order to gain personal efficiencies.
- To overcome fears or undermining beliefs which spoil the enjoyment of daily life.
- To better balance work and family life.
- To help redirect one's life towards a more rewarding activity or position.
- Students looking for objective support in their difficult moments.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME for being Coached?

PROBABLY NOW!
It all depends on your goal and how fast you want to get there. Most people want to reach their goal as soon a possible. Life is not a rehearsal.
However take your time selecting the Coach who is right for you because you will have to feel comfortable with your Coach if the Coaching is to work. Most Coaches will offer you a trial session to try them for fit.TOP OF PAGE

HOW LONG does Coaching last?

This is totally related to your project and to the speed at which you will reach your goal. The shortest period is probably one month. Coaching works on a continuous relationship between the Coach and the Client and that relationship deepens with time.

The Client or the Coach can end the relationship at any time if it is not working.TOP OF PAGE

HOW is Coaching done?

After the introductory session, a programme of weekly sessions will be established.
Each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, generally on the telephone and is preceded by a 'prep form' sent by the Client. The 'prep form' summarises the Client status and allows to make full use of the time with the Coach.
Face -to- face sessions are also possible.
Team coaching is also available but is best performed by coaching the team leader. TOP OF PAGE

FACE TO FACE OR ON THE TELEPHONE?
What is the difference?

Few people insist on face-to-face coaching only.
All of my clients are happy with telephone Coaching even though some started with face-to-face sessions.
I alway try and have a face to face session with each client, at least at the beginning but for those in far-away places such as Hong Kong or Latin America, photos and voice work perfectly well.
People say that the telephone coaching allows more freedom of speech and induces a deeper exploration of the difficult topics.
And telephone coaching cuts costs considerably as there is no travelling time on either side.

What is the COST ?

The cost is way below the value. All people coached seem to agree on that point. When a goal dear to your heart is reached faster than you thought possible, it is priceless.
My fees start from £300/ month or flight of 3 x 45 minutes telephone sessions.

Coaching is not offered on a cost per hour or per session, but on monthly commitments. Depending on the contract, a month will include three or four sessions. Monthly fees are paid in advance.
I also offer Scholarship / Barter / Pro-bono sessions to people with exceptional circumstances.
