“Epiphanies are life-altering, but most fade in days or weeks”
– Michael Neenan
Coaching is a sub-discipline of psychology. There are a multitude of studies demonstrating that coaching enhances hope, resilience, mindfulness and self-efficacy. It has a positive effect on well-being and facilitates goal attainment. Longitudinal studies show that coaching can produce sustained change.
Identify and achieve your goals. Coaching helps you develop specific goals that will work to bring your life in alignment with your values and motivators. Experiment! Take action!
Build self-awareness. Get to know yourself better, your values, needs and priorities. Find out what energises you and how you can shine and flourish. Discover what sabotages your success.
Operate more effectively in your networks You live and work in a series of systems and networks – your family, your workplace and your friendships. Coaching helps you see the bigger picture through focusing on your role in and impact on those networks, and helps you identify what you want from them and what they want from you.
Improve mental fitness and wellbeing. The processes of learning to be more self-aware, more mindful and achieving your goals have the added benefit of improving your emotional intelligence and understanding. Over time, you should build better coping skills, more resilience, increased self-efficacy and greater self-regulation.
Build your work-related skills. Develop better communications skills, better time management and delegation skills, so that you are able to better focus on what you need to do to achieve your goals.
Change your mindset. You can expect to develop a more flexible mindset and a broader perspective to respond to challenges that will inevitably arrive. Being more flexible means you have more choices and an expanded repertoire of behaviours.
