Coaching style

Paul firmly believes that enabling an individual to have a greater awareness of themselves is the key to them understanding how other people work and the first step towards integrating themselves in a harmonious working environment where they can not only achieve a real sense of purpose but also actual and real enjoyment in what they do. Paul sets about this by a mixture of applicable psychometric tools as well as building rapport through a series of one-to-one coaching sessions in order to focus the client towards an action plan that is rooted in reality.

Coaching philosophy

Paul believes that we are all a work in progress and that none of us are yet the finished article and it's Paul’s job, as a coach, to find out what it is that a person wants to improve and is looking to go and to help them get there. My philosophy is that I work in partnership with someone on helping to establish realistic goals and to enable them to break those goals down into bite sized chunks so that each step feels, and becomes, a whole lot less daunting and that with help, encouragement and continued support we can achieve far more than we thought possible.
