Personal Coaching 

 

How do you coach?

You have a choice between face-to-face, telephone, and eCoaching. Personal Coaching consists of three meetings/calls/main emails per month. On the fourth week we rest!

Face-to-Face Coaching

All appointments are in London, and last 60 minutes. Appointments are at The Cavendish Hotel (Piccadilly), The Hilton Hotel (Green Park), or The London Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Bank).

 

Telephone Coaching

85% of coaching in the world takes place on the telephone - so it works! Sessions are 60 minute long, and call charges are included in your coaching fee, regardless of where you live in the world.

 

eCoaching

This consists of 3 main e-Coaching mails per month of up to 700 words per mail. This can be followed by one quicker follow up of 150 words between main mails.

 

Homework

These are the tasks or actions you will be doing each week to really make a difference. I always say how even though our 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 1,000 people, I know the answer would be different for all of them. 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 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 Career & Motivational 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 area 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 - I also offer discounts from time to time for subscribers of my FREE eNewsletter. Please call or email to discuss your coaching requirements and receive a quote for your coaching investment. 

 

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 20 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, and get a full refund for the unused portion. You would then be charged at the normal monthly 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. Business Coaching clients have included Virgin Atlantic, Standard Bank, Sky Sports, and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
