How does Coaching work?

You have a choice between face-to-face, telephone, and Skype. Personal Coaching consists of six or twelve meetings or calls over three months.

Face-to-Face Coaching

All appointments are in London, and last 60 minutes. Appointments can be at The Cavendish Hotel (Piccadilly), or The Hilton Hotel (Green Park), or The Hospital Club (Covent Garden).

 

Telephone Coaching

85% of coaching in the world takes place on the telephone - so it works! Sessions are 60 minutes long - plus call charges to landlines are included in your coaching fee to more than 20 counties.

  

Homework

These are the tasks or actions you will be doing each week to really make a difference. Whilst coaching appointments are important, what's even more important is what you do between them, as that is what will change your life.

 

How long will I be coaching for?

Our initial contract will be for 3 months, after which you will be able to schedule extra months as you wish. Most clients tend to coach for between 3-6 months, though some are longer depending on what they're working on and achieving. You will never be given the ‘hard sell’ to continue, as I believe this would be something totally at odds with the coaching Code of Ethics and my own personal values.

 

What will I get from coaching?

After coaching more than 3,500 people, I know the answer is different for everyone. Generally I hear words such as accountability, direction, inspiration, focus, sounding board, motivation, fun, challenge, plan of action, and support. That said, coaching is focused, meaning we will always know what and where you're heading towards as you state your objectives at the beginning of every session - and then measure your progress against it.

 

Do you have a niche?

I'm known as a Personal Performance Coach. The original term for Personal Coaching was 'Life Coaching', and I still think it's important your goals should be ecological and in harmony with all other areas of your life. My clients are men and women who generally want to build a better work/life balance, career, confidence, and motivation. Other areas that also often come up include strategy, planning, and relationships. I'm a trainer with the world's largest coach training school, The Coaching Academy, and also a coach and writer for the Fiona Harrold Consultancy.

 

What are your fees?

Rates depend on the type of coaching, and also the duration of the coaching commitment. Please call or email to discuss your coaching requirements and receive a quote for your coaching investment. Fees can be paid monthly in advance of coaching. There is a 10% discount for clients wishing to pre-pay the initial 3 month term upfront, and a further 10% discount from my usual fees after 3 months, and again after 6 months of continuous coaching. 

 

How do I make payment?

If you have a UK bank account, you can pay by cheque or bank transfer, otherwise you can make an International Bank Transfer, or pay by credit/debit card via PayPal. International payments can be made or sent in local currencies.

 

Do you have a guarantee?

I offer a FREE 30 minute initial telephone conversation to help you decide if I'm the right coach for you. After that, if you're not totally convinced you've received the best possible coaching once you've completed your first coaching session you can ask for a refund (minus the fee at standard rates for the first session). 

 

Note: This is a one-time option, which you may exercise at the end of the first session only.

 

Is there a contract?

Yes, you will be asked to sign a coaching contract before we can begin work together -two copies, one for you to keep, and one for me to keep.

 

What if I decide not to complete our contract?

If at any point during the coaching term you’re not getting value, we’ll both know it. You may cease coaching at the end of any four-week cycle. If you have pre-paid for 3 months in advance you would get a full refund for the unused portion of whole months. You would then be charged at the normal rate for the coaching you have used, rather than at the discounted rate.

 

What kind of people are your clients?

Men and women in the 20-55 age group, though I have also coached younger University graduates and my oldest client was a sprightly 74 years young! I work with some clients face-to-face, whilst others are on the telephone or via the internet. Some people live in London or the UK, with many others across the world, including Spain, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Canada, USA, Brazil, Singapore, and Australia. I've also coached people in businesses such as Virgin Atlantic, Standard Bank, Sky Sports, and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Quote of the day... 'Be the change you wish to see in the World!'

Mahatma Gandhi


 

'Mike's been...  coaching with me as I've moved from working for someone else, to working for myself through to running my own company and has helped me on the journey.

'The process hasn't always been easy, and there have been plenty of trying times along the way. It's been vital to have him to check in with and to know that he's on the end of the phone if something urgent crops up.

'I've known and worked with Mike for over five years. Over that time, Mike has been a great, invaluable support. He's been instrumental in assisting us make some substantial changes in our business and has been there to ensure that things have gone well for us and our company. 

'I have no hesistation in recommending Mike's work.'
