What is Coaching?

Coaching may be something you’re not very familiar with or have a vague idea about but never really thought you needed.  Coaching is something that I believe everyone deserves.  It is an opportunity for you to be truly listened to and to open up in a non-judgemental and safe space.  I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to be heard.  Coaching will also challenge you and lead to the change you want to see in yourself.  I do know people who would shy away from this.

Although I won’t be listened to, I want to introduce you to some of the concepts of coaching.  I have decided to coach myself and document it in the form of this blog.  You are more than welcome to come along on the journey. 

What to do?

So, one of the first things you need to do is discover exactly who we are dealing with and why they want coaching.  In my case, I need coaching to give me some direction as my work life identity has changed recently.

Having made the decision to quit the job I had been doing in some form or another for the last 16 years, I need to help myself on the journey onwards and upwards.  I have to decide if I want to leave that whole part of my identity behind or if I can carry some of it with me.

My plan is to break myself down into my composite parts, have a look at the bits and then use those bits to help me with the direction I’m going take.  That sounds so easy that I think I may take the rest of the day off to think about it. 

I might need to look at procrastination too.
