What is Coaching



Coaching is a distinct approach that differs from advice-giving, counselling, or psychotherapy. While sharing some similarities with counselling and therapy, a life coach's primary role is to ask insightful questions that help uncover the underlying obstacles preventing individuals from achieving their dreams. They then assist in setting strategic goals to guide them towards success. Acting as a supportive guide, a life coach provides an objective perspective akin to a trusted friend or mentor while maintaining an appropriate level of professional distance.

One of the key functions of a life coach is to help clients reframe their thinking and adopt an objective and creative mindset, enabling them to effect positive change. Additionally, life coaches serve as accountability partners and cheerleaders, offering unwavering support during the journey and assisting clients in overcoming life's significant challenges.

Coaches possess the unique ability to offer unbiased guidance, aiding clients in making well-informed decisions to improve both their personal and professional lives. They equip individuals with practical tools and strategies that facilitate progress toward their goals while maintaining a professional outlook.

Coaching is a solution-oriented approach centred around building rapport, holding space, and providing guidance. It is a calm and relaxed process founded on the belief that individuals already possess the necessary resources and skills to achieve success and authenticity. By offering direction, guidance, and the appropriate tools, coaches empower individuals to discover their own solutions and make optimal choices in life.

Through coaching, individuals can tap into their inner reservoirs, unlocking their full potential and becoming the best version of themselves.

If you desire personal growth and improvement, enlisting the help of a life coach can be immensely beneficial. Just as athletes, performers, and successful professionals engage coaches to enhance their performance, you, too, can avail yourself of a life coach's assistance. Coaching is accessible and affordable for everyone. Human beings often struggle with cultivating healthy interpersonal relationships, making this an area where a life skills coach can guide you, providing insights, tools, and strategies for self-improvement. Developing strong interpersonal skills, like driving, is a learnable skill that can be honed with practice.

While many people overlook or find it restrictive and confusing, the Bible serves as a guidebook on how to live an authentic and abundant life. Combining its teachings with ancient philosophy, modern techniques, and personal experiences, I utilize these rich sources to coach individuals towards their personal best.
Coaching sessions can be conducted via phone, internet, or in person. To request a fifteen-minute pre-booking session or obtain further information, visit the contact tab.

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

A personal Sunday reflection of my brother’s life and legacy, in what I call the three stages of life—birth and development, the pursuit and the chase, and sickness and dying— illuminating the gift of mortality. Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying.   Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential.

"The Perfect Pitch": Ten Things I learned from Steel

I am working on this project and have to go before a panel of people to present my idea; so my daughter suggested I read one of her books on how to "pitch".  Being an avid reader, I proceeded to read   Perfect pitch: the art of selling ideas and winning new business ,  written by Jon Steel - John Wiley& Sons - 2007 . After reading it, I found I learnt some valuable lessons and decided to share my condensed version. Basically, he states that the point of a presentation is to get you from point A to point B—where you are now to where you want to be. Once you have decided to do the presentation, it is no longer about what you want—if you really want what you want. From this point on, it is all about what the decision makers wants.  You have to think: a) WHY  do they want to hear from you, see you, or should be interested in anything that you have to say or do; and b) WHAT do they want to see and/or hear. So hear are the 10 things I learned:
