Performance Coaching

Performance coaching helps clients improve performance by identifying obstacles, implementing action and developing goals so that they can achieve what they want in their work and personal life. The structured approach that performance coaching provides increases the potential for success and ensures outcomes are based on personal experience and needs of the client.

Performance coaching is provided in a supportive yet challenging environment ensuring the client, with the expert guidance of the coach, explores all possible avenues before implementing change. Coaching is a safe space for clients to explore opportunities that may not be possible in everyday life.

Performance coaching helps the client to become more self-aware so that they begin to develop a deep sense of understanding, about themselves, what is important to them and why they may have certain behavioural reactions in some situations. From this deep level of understanding the client can choose to make meaningful and sustainable change.

Developmental Coaching

Developmental coaching is similar to performance coaching, as the main goal is to improve a client’s performance in some or several aspects of their work or personal life. The difference with developmental coaching is that it is concerned with the learning and the growth a person goes through as they are going through the coaching process. Developmental coaching helps the client identify faulty thinking patterns, negative self-talk and beliefs a person may hold about themselves in their subconscious mind.

Public speaking is something that many people, even very successful people may struggle with at one time in their lives. Performance coaching will help the client learn skills so that they can improve their public speaking abilities. These may include how to format a presentation to engage an audience, how to develop superior graphics to captures client’s attention or it may focus on helping the client practice public speaking in a comfortable and supportive space before going on to do a more formal presentation. These approaches are all extremely successful and clients feel the benefits in a relatively short period of time. In a developmental coaching session the coach asks the client to look inwards and identify thoughts, memories and feelings that may come up around speaking in public. Once identified the client can replace these negative self-beliefs with new, updated and more helpful beliefs. The change that can take place when a client goes through this process is deep and sustainable.

Transformational Coaching

Transformational coaching is a relatively new form of coaching and is becoming increasingly recognised and sought after because of the profound and substantial change clients experience when working with a transformational coach.

Transformational coaching is about the client developing a deep sense of self-awareness and ability to consciously choose how they will behave in any situation. Through the process of transformational coaching the client will grow to understand their core beliefs, challenge any of these beliefs in a supportive and nurturing environment and replace these core beliefs with new beliefs that are more closely aligned with who the person is today and how they want to behave in the world.

Transformational coaching can be challenging as it uncovers thoughts and beliefs that are so deeply buried with in the subconscious mind the client may not even know they exist. Through this deep level of self-understanding, the change that the client can achieve through transformational coaching can
be profound and life changing.

Transformational coaching can help to improve leadership styles, create a sense of awareness and acceptance of who you are, change unwanted behaviours, improve resilience and reduce stress, anxiety, fears and phobias.
