coaching

Are you making a big decision?
Might you feel stuck, but not broken?
Do you want clarity before your next step?
Are you currently ready for honest reflection?
Would you like accountability that feels supportive?

If yes, then coaching may be right for you, right now.

The International Coaching Federation recently redefined coaching as 'partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.' Clarity. Purpose. Inspiration. Guidance. 

Per the ICF, coaching is for anyone who ever wanted to know how far they could go. Coaching can help you reach your goals, but that is just the beginning. The real payoff? Discovering the depth of your potential along the way. A coach holds space for your breakthroughs, setbacks, and every step in between, because the journey is the transformation.  

Coaching is often confused with other modalities like consulting and mentoring, but there is one big differentiator. While a consultant offers advice and possible solutions, and a mentor provides wisdom and guidance, in coaching YOU are the subject matter expert.
A coach is an expert in the coaching process. It is their role to create a safe, non-judgemental space for you to clarify your goals and explore creative solutions. A coach is also there to keep you accoutable to the goals you have set and to motivate you when you need it.
Think of a coach as your accountability partner and possibility explorer, who creates the perfect space for your expertise to shine through.

'In the midst of a hiring process for my dream graduate role, which am thrilled to say I subsequently secured, I undertook coaching with Dave in the hope of gaining clarity and direction in my career. I am at the very early stages of my working life, and as such have hundreds of paths and options ahead of me, which was exciting and equally daunting. Dave really helped me to narrow down the purpose I wanted to extract from my career, and what exactly it was that was important to me. Through guided sessions, where he was unafraid to challenge me, we navigated through from personal branding all the way to a realistic and meaningful five year plan for the future. Dave really helped be the connection between the ideas I had in my head, and the reality of executing them. Could not recommend enough.'
