During a coaching session, your coach will listen attentively, ask questions, and help you identify your challenges.&nbsp; They will inspire you to take responsibility for your decisions and make progress towards your ultimate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Coaching isn&#8217;t<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coaching is not about your coach giving you suggestions or advice &#8211; this is something a mentor would do. However, as part of coaching, coaches may share knowledge or information to help you reframe a situation or support your goals. Coaching is not therapy or counselling but difficult subjects and feelings naturally arise as part of coaching &#8211; usually linked to patterns of behaviour or circumstances. If you commence a series of coaching sessions and it\u2019s determined that coaching is not the right support mechanism for you at that moment, we\u2019ll discuss this directly to find a suitable solution to support your onward journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Happens During a Coaching Session?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coaching sessions are predominantly carried out over Zoom or face-to-face. The content of the session is tailored to your requirements and preferences, which we can discuss further during our calls. Each session will be for 60 minutes unless otherwise stipulated. My role is to manage the timing of the session to ensure you gain full value from it.&nbsp; The success of coaching depends on being committed to the process and taking responsibility for your progress and decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is coaching?
