As well as goals to consider there are also "issues". These can be anything that crops up that will have a bearing of one kind or another on the current plan for you, personally. What is the best way to deal with it?

In the absence of an immediately obvious solution an issue can sometimes become a bugbear and throw things off track. The end goal remains the same. The distance and detachment your coach will have from the issue itself can often reveal perspectives to reach it that you had not considered. Sometimes, these might be drastic options for you to consider and not even have been thinkable except from someone who is - and remains - a "detached" observer.

Coaching attracts many practitioners who learn how to use various coaching techniques. However, a good technique can only take their clients so far. It is only when that technique is married with a deep experience of the opportunities and pitfalls that life can present that the full range of positive coaching outcomes can be realised.

In the absence of a personal recommendation for a coach always check the level of experience a prospective coach for you will bring with them. My own range of experience is set out below.

Examples: adults at some form of crossroads - either professional or personal - and just need to touch base with someone who can give them an informed but detached reflection of what, probably, deep down they may even already know. Sometimes, through a coach's skills of exploration, new ideas and options will occur to them. A whole new world may open up or, perhaps, just a gentle touch on the tiller to get on the right track for them.

Young people staring into the void that is their future but with little sense of which direction of travel to take. For both, often, just a single session will stir the ambition and will to succeed that had laid hidden, waiting to fight its way out. Very satisfying for all concerned.

Stage 1: A systematic analysis of where you are in relation to a perceived goal is fundamental. Sometimes that goal may evolve or change focus. You will decide. The following two stages raise your own awareness of what needs to be achieved and then generates an appreciation of the responsibility necessary to see it to fruition. The fourth and final stage is the most important as it elicits precisely what you will do to proceed to the next level. It sounds a lot but it can be accomplished within a one hour session. It may be all you need and for some it is. A good coach never generates dependance. However, they will always be there as and when.

In short, at a time and place that suits you. For coaching in person I am based in Seer Green near Beaconsfield. These sessions can be in my home office and captured on video for future reference and safeguarding purposes. Or, more informally, in a coffee shop.

Thanks to Zoom and similar technology, my clients can be anywhere in the world. All sessions can also be captured on video for future reference.

Each subject required research in depth and exposure to virtually every aspect of life you could imagine.
