Is Coaching For Me?
Coaching is a powerful process for creating significant and lasting change in your life. By working with a coach you could overcome the obstacles that are holding you back and create powerful changes in your life. This self assessment questionnaire has been prepared to give you the opportunity to assess whether coaching is relevant to your problem or issue.
I enjoyed our sessions (albeit that they forced me to confront some things about myself which weren’t always comfortable to describe) and they were incredibly valuable during a very difficult time. I’m in a different place now – far happier and fulfilled professionally, I’ve excised the ghosts of my former employer and mentally I’m in a much stronger place. I’ve definitely changed as an individual though. I like to think that I’m more empathetic towards others who might be suffering, I’m much more aware of my own mental strength, and I’m actually far better able to step outside and rationalise why I might be thinking or feeling a certain way, and therefore able to cope with it.
I’ve also become an unashamed and public proponent of talking out problems – the current publicity campaign around encouraging men to talk about their problems rings true – I genuinely feel that confronting my problems and talking them out saved me from doing something more final at that time, so thank you
