Are you in need of a coach, but wonder if they can really help you?

Or have you had a coach but been disappointed by the price and the results?

Many of you look for a coach when there is some sort of crisis and maybe you are rash in choosing a “package” or adding on after a freebie coach bot…

As usual, “Buyer, be aware!”

What is your need and what do you want to accomplish is the first thing.

Second, is the coach the kind you need AND accredited by an organization and keeping up with certification?

Finally, does the coach fit with you and your personality and personal values.

Perhaps that is something you want to work on, values and what is the next step for you in your life. (This is something I love to coach).

But let me share a few of my values:

B.I.G. :(Boundaries and role clarity, Integrity and Generosity) and ALWAYS Client Centered - this means YOU are the director of the path of development and change.

Boundaries and Role Clarity

You will find I work well with clear boundaries and help my clients to do the same! Role clarification in the client relationship and with the clients’ roles are also very important for me.

Integrity (and Authenticity)

This is the cornerstone of my values, and everything moves from this. If you want to work with a person of integrity (including confidentiality, of course), call on me.

Generosity

For me this means always thinking that every person is doing the best they can with what they have, and I believe this wholeheartedly.

Client Centered

I believe you are the best person to decide the area(s) to work on and how - solutions are found within your own selves (with some exploration, of course). The diirection(sO and goals are always the clients.

Teamwork (a “sparing partner”)

Teamwork and partnerships are the cornerstones of what I do. My first partnership is with you, my client(s).  I enjoy creating communities of empowered individuals who can unleash their talent and enjoy themselves in the process. All adults looking for work-oriented coaching are welcome.

Diversity and the Individual

Diversity is a high value for me. Because I am diversity-trained and also sensitive to the individual needs of my very diverse clients, I can coach in a variety of venues with diverse people.  My belief in the value and ability  to learn and grow of every human being is a foundation for my coaching practice.

I won’t sell you what you don’t need

Because integrity is another core value of mine. I believe that people are more likely to keep working with you in the future if you have a relationship built on trust and honesty. I tell my potential clients up front if I can’t do what they want or if I am not the best person for the job. I will also try to stop clients from spending money on our services that are unlikely to benefit them.  Also, my fees are well within the local norms. I have sent potential clients elswhere, by the way.

I am curious

I enjoy asking lots of questions. I am curious about my clients and what they need. I like to understand my clients’ situations and ask provocative questions that make my clients think more deeply about what they really want. By doing this, I increase the chances that I will be able to provide effective, targeted help.

I love HELPING YOU develop, grow and change - that includes your companies/teams

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with what they know and have, and I can help clients by teaching and coaching them to develop into the best they can be. I love working with clients to reach their full potential. My aim is to enable people to solve their own problems effectively. I love to help clients to transform in order to move onward and upward in life.

I like to stretch myself and I am a lifelong learner

I enjoy using my skills and what I know in creative and innovative ways. I like to provide flexibility in the services I deliver and I am happy to adapt what I do to the specific needs of my clients. This often involves quick thinking and quick learning. That’s why my clients often ask me to work on issues that are a bit outside my normal area; they know I am flexible and creative.  Because I love to keep up to date and learn new skills and knowledge, I attend further training, workshops, speaking events each year.  I am taking a training that will allow me to be at a Supervision level and will have an organisational development aspect to it, of course it's certified!

I'm not just in it for the money

I strive to create tangible value for both the client and myself. I welcome the opportunity to discuss ways in which I can create mutual benefit for the client and our business.  Money is necessary for my living, but it’s not everything, and I find interaction with clients and their satisfaction to be of great importance.

So, what about you?

What do you need and who can help you?

Have a lovely week finding the answers to your questions.
