The challenges Steve faced, and he wanted hoped to gain from the personal coaching

• Felt a loss of direction in both personal life and work
• Had poor balance with work and family life
• Had work stress and anxiety
• Felt stuck in a job which didn’t make him happy
• Had relationship stress and disconnection with his wife
• Had low esteem and self-belief
• Felt stuck and not able to take action

The results he achieved

Here is a list of what Steve says he has achieved with coaching from me: –

• Reconnected with my wife, emotionally and holistically.
• I am happier with my relationships with family and friends.
• My self-belief and self-esteem have dramatically improved.
• I am more organised in my personal life, and this has also flowed into my work.
• I am now aware of my values, which I really wasn’t clear with before coaching
• I have clear and attainable goals set to keep me focused on what is important in my life
• I have a better work life balance
• I take action, don’t procrastinate like I did before, and am achieving now.
• I now trust myself
• I am now kind to myself and have the tools to look after my physical and mental health.

My coaching approach to get the results included

• setting personal goals, before the coaching started
• Giving knowledge, ontological and psychological models to create awareness for change, and understanding change-resistance.
• Providing tools to use, whenever gets stuck, to refer to and create action.
• Setting reading resources and asking for bullet points on takeaways
• Ensuring a resource folder of tools and models was created to put all that was provided over the coaching weeks, to be put into this, for future reference, and sustainability of changes.
• Asked for commitment to 3-6 months of coaching, as takes this time to change sustainably
• Asked Steve to celebrate successes for achievements between sessions.
