Coaching philosophy

I believe that my clients are resourceful and they, through asking the best question, will unlock new thinking and as a result changes to behaviours or approaches.  My style is collaborative when it comes to setting the goals for the session and once agreed we’ll partner through challenge and support to reach the best outcome for the client.  My clients hold themselves accountable for any actions arising from the sessions.  I often provide resources in the form of articles, TED talks and other tool to support my clients as they explore the shift to better.
