Coaching philosophy

Paul believes that we are all a work in progress and that none of us are yet the finished article.  Paul believes it is his job, as a coach, to find out what it is that a person wants to improve, where they are 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. Then each step feels, and becomes, a whole lot less daunting and, with help, encouragement and continued support we can achieve far more than we ever thought possible.”
