“There are many misconceptions out there – the biggest myth being that a life coach teaches life skills.  Coaches are not teachers. Coaches are thinking partners. A personal coach offers a neutral and objective perspective when you are feeling stuck and unsure of the best way to move forward. Coaching will help you to explore all your options, identify the most ideal strategies and tactics to adopt for achieving your desired outcomes, unpack the limiting and restrictive beliefs that keep you locked in the same problem behaviour patterns and then help you to implement the change that suits you best. Coaching, at its essence, is a ‘Methodology for Change’.”

Personal development needs vary dramatically from person to person and therefore the agenda and solutions to these problems do too. Sometimes clients are very clear about what they want to achieve. Other times, clients know what they don’t want and therefore we identify what they would prefer instead. With conscious clarity of their preferred reality (versus current reality) we design action steps to move closer to that outcome. I use several models of change and will collaborate with clients on whether they prefer to work consciously and/or subconsciously (PSYCH-K).

Building or developing your relationship with your Self, is also known as intra-personal development. The agenda for this includes identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, navigating emotions, re-engineering your internal narratives as well as modifying problem patterns of behaviour.

Ironically, developing ourselves on a personal level, i.e. becoming self aware and familiar with one’s own triggers, can be the best ‘therapy’ for a couple in crisis. This is addressed in the article ‘The best couple therapy is individual therapy’.
