Your Powerful New Mindset About Clients
Do you sometimes feel second best in the coach-client relationship? Hold on – are all your clients actually qualified to work with YOU? Are they even coachable? If not, they will kill your practice and suck you dry.
Equipping You to Coach Pressure & Stress
Great clients routinely expect too much of themselves. “Sure, I can cope. Bring it on!”. This mindset is fundamentally flawed and even dangerous. Are you equipped to challenge their thinking and address the elephant in the room?
Mastering Your Craft – Driving Conversations
You know how to use frameworks like GROW. But often it can feel clunky and awkward. Masterful coaches are in flow, picking the most useful frameworks and questions seamlessly. Do you want to be merely competent – or masterful?
Accelerated Learning
Apply your learning from day 1 with the support of your personal course mentor. Every weekly module is followed by a coaching call to deal with questions, reinforce learning and to nail down action steps. Master the full system in just 7 weeks.
About Me
I’m a global citizen, pioneer and champion of coaching, educator, author, competitive sailor, and now … a proud grandad. I am an internationally recognised coach and leadership trainer. My mission going forward is to make a positive impact on the quality of coaching in the world.
I’ve learned my craft using every kind of practical experience combined with formal and informal training and research. Examples:
- I trained NHS Scotland doctors in managing their own and their team’s stress.
- I authored and tutored an Open University – validated distance learning course in self management and personal effectiveness.
- I was NATO’s only leadership coach with their civilian support services for 10 years.
- I was a mentor with Women on Boards Australia while living there.
- My childcare business won a national ‘Best Small Business’ award in Scotland
- I led a community development program in Glasgow, Scotland which grew from nothing to having over 130 local people actively involved. I also coached vulnerable teenagers “at risk” for some years.
- I’m a qualified community education worker, I have a BA in Social Science, an MSc in HRM, a PGDip in Life Coaching, a Master Practitioner of NLP, and am an accredited Marshall Goldsmith SSC Coach. Oh and I have an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) as a sailing skipper.
Does my lifelong passion for empowering others to become everything they can be shine through? What might not be as obvious is how I’ve created an incredible treasure chest of coaching methods, some unique.
