Q  What is coaching?
A  Coaching is a partnership between coach and client with the aim of identifying goals and actions to achieve the client’s full potential. Coaching enhances the client’s self-awareness and provides a better understanding of personal motivations, allowing appropriate goals to be set to achieve fulfillment. It also analyses the client’s resistance to change and explores where this originated and how it can be overcome.

Q  Is coaching a form of therapy?
A  Although Être coaches receive professional formal training to achieve ICF accreditation, they are not mental health or psychology professionals. Coaches are bound by the ethical guidelines detailed by the ICF and ensure that their coaching is solution focused and concentrated on moving the client to achieve their full potential. Être does not work with clients who are facing any addiction, dependency, or mental health challenges.

Q  What tools and techniques do you use?
A  Être coaches are armed with a number of customized HR and coaching tools and assessments to ensure clients are able to explore their potential goals. For example, Être’s 4 stage transition assessment. This tool works to assess current status and success, to assess what the barriers are to success, to develop a clear action plan and to evaluate achievements.

Q  How long is the normal coaching partnership?
A  This depends on the client and what they wish to gain from the process. On the program & services tab, there is a clear description of the programs available, ranging from 2-4 week process for shorter quick win solutions through to a 6 month package aimed at achieving longer lasting change.

Q  How long before I start to see some results?
A  Dependent on your goals, motivation and commitment to the process, this can be as little as 2-4 weeks. I strongly recommend you contact me so we can discuss the outcomes you are looking for, decide whether the coaching partnership will be mutually beneficial and, if so, which of the coaching packages works best for you.
