All about coaching

Coaching is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.

Whether you are looking to change direction, take on a new challenge, develop yourself, grow, improve performance or develop a specific skillset, coaching can help you achieve any or all of those goals.

Because coaching is personal and involves working closely with your coach, usually over a number of sessions, you will want to pick the right coach. When you find the right fit, they will help you identify your strengths, recognise and overcome your weaknesses, set meaningful goals, and develop strategies for achieving your goals.

A bit about me

I am passionate about supporting individuals and organisations to grow. Whatever my role, whether as a coach or as the executive officer within the thriving not-for-profit organisation I currently lead, I believe that growth, both personal and professional, comes when we are curious, open to questioning ourselves (our beliefs and assumptions), and are willing to try things out. Even being comfortable to fail.

For the past twenty years, I have been helping individuals and organisations reach their full potential either directly as a coach or by using coaching approaches to manage and insire those that I lead, I look forward to helping you to do the same.

Outside of the corporate sphere, I worked for over a decade with teenagers and young people as a youth worker in a voluntary capacity offering individual and group coaching and one-to-one mentoring to support their personal development.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Introductory session

Whichever coach you choose, whether me or someone else, the introductory session is a the first step. It's your opportunity to make sure that you are comfortable with your coach and think that you will be able to build a rapport with them.

As well as making sure you are the right fit, you'll be able to discuss how you would like to work with you coach as well as being able to confirm all of the practicalities.

Depending on your coaching goals, you'll agree how many sessions you are likely to need and even what your final coaching session might feel like.

Coaching sessions

Sessions are usually an hour, and coaching for change usually consists of between four to six sessions. Towards the end of each session you'll have time to schedule your next one.

If your goal is more discrete, a single coaching session can be offered, All of these practicalities can be discussed by email and/or during the introductory session.

What clients say about me

I was initially sceptical about whether coaching was for me. But with each session, I become a real fan of pausing, reflecting, and considering issues from different angles.

I use this approach now on a daily basis and it prompts me to consider the choices before me more carefully and find better solutions. I think I will take this forward with me long after the coaching sessions are over.

It was amazing how quickly the trust and coaching relationship developed, Having a coach who was calm, quiet, gentle and perceptive really worked for me.

Coaching gave me the confidence to do something which I have been thinking about doing for a while.

The coaching sessions gave me the opportunity to discuss my concerns and talk through the options. I would like to thank Nina for enabling me to fulfil my goal.

Working through my assumptions was challenging as I didn’t realise they were there. I thought my decision making was based more on data, but the reality was different. I am now making decisions based on what’s best for the situation rather than those assumptions.

And it was a safe space to be able to voice them – in a place where there was no judgement, and my confidence grew as a result of facing them.
