Coaching is a partnership between the coach (me Tom) and the coachee (You) in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential.  I honour you as the expert in your life and work and believe that you are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, nothing is broken and nothing needs fixing.  Coaching is particularly and increasingly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment.  Standing on this foundation, my responsibility to you is to:

• Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve

• Encourage your own self-discovery

• Elicit your own generated solutions and strategies

• Hold you responsible and accountable

This process helps you to dramatically improve your outlook on work and life, whilst improving your leadership skills and unlocking your potential.

IS Coaching right for you?

To determine whether you could benefit from coaching start by summarizing what you would expect to accomplish in coaching. When you have a fairly clear idea of the desired outcome a coaching partnership can be a useful tool for developing a strategy for how to achieve that outcome with greater ease.

Since coaching is a partnership, ask yourself whether collaboration, other viewpoints, and new perspectives are valued. Also, ask yourself whether you are ready to devote the time and the energy to making real changes. If the answer is yes, then coaching is a beneficial way to grow and develop.
