COACHING PHILOSOPHY

I believe that coaching can benefit everyone and anyone, at any stage in their life.

Coaching is a commitment to personal development- both for the client and myself as a coach. 

​

I am a firm believer in Esther Perel's philosophy that our relational habits between our personal lives and professional lives are intertwined and "the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives".

​

Our "relational baggage" doesn't go away when we come to work.

Who we "are" (or believe are "are"); what we believe; how we show up; how we engage; how we handle difficult conversations; how we perceive conflict and hierarchy; create, maintain and sustain relationships has all been informed from our past.  

​

We all have responses that stem from non-conscious patterns in our past.

My role as a coach is to help:

• bring awareness to the non-conscious patterns of behaviours, so that you can become conscious (of what they are and where they stem from);

• understand if these behaviours are true to who you want to be;

• reflect on whether they are  serving you;

• so that you can develop into a better communicator, emotionally wealthier person and a more effective leader.

​

FIELDS OF INTEREST 

• Leadership Circle Profile™: a 360 tool that measures effective leadership through 18 leadership competencies and tendencies, overlaying Adult Development Theory. I love the tool because of it's ability to uncover underlying beliefs and thought patterns, enabling leaders with valuable insights for transformative change. It is based on scientific research and hundreds of thousands of leadership profile studies. 

• Biographical Dimensions of Meaning Making©: the first ICF accredited, empirically-based coaching framework, based on developmental psychology, psychotherapy, and applied neuroscience that explores a client's past (from childhood to early adulthood). Validated through academic research, it explores how our past shapes current leadership abilities and tendencies. It allows me to work with clients on profound identity work, raising awareness and a different understanding of their past to facilitate personal growth and leadership development. Developed by Dr Saba Hasanie, I resonate with her quote "You can't change the world until you know how the world has changed you".
