Coaching

No matter what you think you are, you are always and, in all ways, more than that.

Julie Silverthorne and John Overdurf

Whatever people think they are they can achieve astonishing results when they realise their potential. Coaching can help you to focus on your strengths and improve your motivation. How you feel about yourself and your abilities has a dramatic impact on what you do and how you do it. When you are confident in yourself you are more likely to overcome obstacles, to aspire and become more resilient. This is particularly true when it comes to your career. Removing any unconscious blocks and letting go of limiting beliefs could mean that you take opportunities and experiences which may lead to a more fulfilling future.

Coaching can help using a personally tailored development plan. You can talk freely about potential barriers to success in complete confidence and in a non-judgmental environment. Coaching focuses on what you want to achieve allowing you to identify your own goals and to develop successful strategies to achieve them. Coaching can facilitate learning new skills, improving existing ones and help achieve success both personally and within an organisation.

Coaching can help you develop an increased self-awareness which can lead to more effective communications, improved working relationships and improve performance.


NLP

NLP is considered an enhanced form of communicating with others which uses the whole range of clues people give when communicating such as their body language, tone of voice as well as the actual words spoken. Noticing the non-verbal signals given out by others it is possible to assess how they feel about what is going on. A breakdown in communication can almost feel as though someone is speaking a different language. This can build rapport and communicate effectively.

NLP is much more than that. Everything you have ever seen and experienced is stored in your memory. Each person’s understanding of the world influences how they make sense of the world and events. NLP can help develop a different perspective on events. Whilst you cannot change what has happened to you it may be possible to use different resources and reassess how you feel about things. You can take control of the effect others’ actions have on you..


Testimonials

“Sandra sets clear parameters and I really liked the way she frames questions giving me the chance to find the answers for myself. She picked up on some of the unhelpful words I used to describe myself and realised I had been guilty of reinforcing my own sometimes negative views about myself. She showed great tact when addressing some of those negative things she’d heard me say. Sandra encouraged me to think more positively about myself, to develop a more positive mindset, to recognise my strengths and how they could be applied in a job interview situation. She has a calm, measured approach and is extremely attentive.”

Mark – Editor


“The session with Sandra helped me recover faster from a poor experience and regain my original enthusiasm and optimism. I was able to re-focus, reorganise and to regain my energy for any new upcoming opportunities. It has been refreshing and relaxing and allowed me to build my confidence.”

Alice – Recruitment Coordinator


“I was not sure what to expect, but very quickly felt at ease and able to talk. Sandra made me feel comfortable to share and know that I could speak openly with her. She let me talk and then brought me back to certain points that were relevant and needed more thought. Through our sessions Sandra has given me a different perspective on what and where I can focus on both personally and professionally.”

Letitia – HR Director


“The opportunity to discuss my ideas with Sandra has helped me reflect upon them during the session and beyond. The sessions have been extremely helpful, helping me to conceptualize my ideas on what I wish to do in the future. More importantly the support is where I felt I had the most benefits; much of the anxiety I had is gone. I really struggled to find motivation Sandra enabled me to feel free to focus on an objective that I feel will motivate me and make me feel better, whatever the outcomes. It may appear a simple thing but that is the most tangible benefit I got from the sessions. Thank you.”
