What can i expect from coaching?
Coaching is certainly in its infancy as an industry and the field is not universally well understood. Below, I have given my take on what coaching is (and isn't) in an attempt to provide more context to the field in general and my approach to it.
What you should expect from coaching with me is to:
- Have your voice heard, free from interruption, with respect and complete confidentiality
- Be in an environment that emphasises thinking over doing
- Retain responsibility for the direction, tone and outcomes of the session (to which I will adjust accordingly).
- Receive inputs from me in the form of questions and hypotheses based on my training and experience.
- Understand how you are being impacted by your current situation
- Explore your available choices and add/amend/delete
- Compare and contrast potential ideas or plans of action
- Identify obstacles to progress and how to approach them
- Be introduced to ideas and models from different fields of learning to aid your thinking and add different perspectives
- Have your awareness raised of strengths and resources you have that you can apply to your current situation
- Use my experience as a resource
- Identify changes of action and/or perception that you will commit to
- Be challenged constructively on your engagement with and commitment to change
What coaching is not
Coaching is not being told what to do. The power of good coaching arises in the creation and maintenance of self-sufficiency in its participants.
Coaching is not counselling or psycho-therapy. There are professionals in these fields that I would be happy to connect you with.
is coaching right for me?
Without providing a hard and fast answer, here is my take on it:
- If you are happy with the status quo and know where you are heading and why then you probably won't get a lot of value from coaching right now.
- If you are unhappy with the status quo but have a good plan for change that you are committed to then you probably won't get much value from coaching right now.
- If you didn't identify with question 1 or 2 then you probably will benefit from coaching

MY
Services
Individual, Tailored
Our sessions are about you and only you, and are completely confidential. It's an opportunity for you to open up about your challenges and opportunities without fear, barriers or judgement.
“I felt that over time we really addressed my frustrations, helping me undercover underlying issues rather than just solve the surface ones”
Working Together
It's not my job to tell you what to do. It's for us to work together to help you work that out for yourself. We can work face to face, or over Skype - whichever best suits your schedule. I'll always be honest, mindful of your situation and keep it realistic.
“Session was so helpful - it identified specific ways to solve current problems and developed clear, tangible actions. It’s really going to impact the chance of success”
Delivering Results
Saying and doing are two different things. It's easy to say you'll change, but following through is what makes it actually happen. That's my job - I'll keep you accountable so that you actually get the results you want.
“It wasn’t an easy conversation, but I felt safe and comfortable with Steve. I wouldn’t have found nearly as many answers without his help”
Proven Methods
I'm an experienced and qualified coach, having helped many individuals get results. I've also been a successful CEO, so have a unique insight into complexities and issues at top levels. Schedule an appointment and let's talk.
