Coaching is a personable facilitation of finding the truth and innate wisdom that exists within all people.
It applies they key assumption that “any person has all the resources they need within themselves, they just need to access, amplify and apply these resources”.
It is focussed on where you are in the present moment and where you would like to be in the future.
It differs from other interventions in that does not:
a) Operate In the provision of specialist Knowledge (Training, Teaching)
b) Provide expert advice (Consulting)
c) Focus on remedial issues applying that something is wrong (Psychotherapy)
What it does however facilitate is transformational shifts in personal awareness leading to profound changes in people through altered behaviours, beliefs and ultimately identity.
Transformation is a change in the fundamental form or make up of anything. In a personal context it is the changes in a person as reflected through changing behaviours, beliefs, values and ultimately altered identity!
The true nature of the world is one of constant change and as humans we are no different. From birth to death we constantly change in physical, mental and spiritual ways.
Thus can we change or transform in a way that serves us most? The answer is a resounding yes but it might be in the way that you think!
Transformation always starts with awareness. Awareness of where you are now and then an awareness of what truly fills you with life’s great treasures such as happiness, peace, joy, creativity, adventure and meaning.
Life’s greatest treasures are not found outside of your self in the world, but rather inside of you.
You cannot do life’s treasures such as doing happiness or doing creative. You can only be happy or be creative. The shift is from doing to being!
Thus personal transformation is a journey not away from your current self but rather a journey inside yourself to understand who you really are and how you can unlock your magnificence!

Coaching for the individual is focused on helping a person to find their own inner wisdom. This differs from Therapy or consulting in that no advice is given but rather your own highest wisdom is found through the guidance of the coach.
The coaching can be pursued on many levels as follows:
Performance Coaching- alters current behaviours to create new strategies with existing skills to achieve outcomes as required.
Developmental Coaching - Provides real growth and development for the individual in identifying and altering current beliefs, Identities and values.
Transformational Coaching – This is the highest form of coaching were real shifts in consciousness and awakenings occur within the individual.
The coaching methodology applied is based on Neuro Linguistic programming which has at its core the belief that every person has the Resources within them, they just need to access, amplify and apply them.
Teams are made up of individuals each with their own skills, capabilities, beliefs, values and priorities. The recognition of this and the ability of team members to form real relationships is the key to the growth and performance of the team.
At the core of team coaching is the assumption that “ Behind every behaviour is a positive Intention “ . The coach facilitates the identification and creation of challenging yet achievable goals through the alignment of these intentions.
This creates real teamwork built on inter team relationships developed with understanding, trust, communication and performance.
Many interventions both on site and offsite are utilised within the Team coaching framework to create these relationships.
The coaching methodology applied is based on Neuro Linguistic programming which has at its core the belief that every person or team has the Resources within them, they just need to access, amplify and apply them.
