Having a personal or executive coach is certainly not a new concept; it used to be called mentoring. For hundreds of years, it was a normal occurrence for people in all walks of life to have someone older and wiser to give advice!
People deciding on a career path, athletes, footballers, executives and others within companies climbing the ladder often had and still have mentors.
The only problem with this type of mentoring or coaching is that the Mentor was seen as a person with wisdom to be looked up to, and having all the answers.
This person would often dominate the conversation and be very directive
in their approach, assuming that how they had lived life would work for you. They were the experts because they had been successful in their time.
Our Approach, the New Way – you are in control!
Our approach is quite different as our focus is on you, your needs and your situation.
We believe in the 80/20% rule, we listen so you have 80% of the time to speak and we will only take up 20%. That way there are no assumptions, no judgements and plenty of time for you to hear yourself!
In this busy, frantic world of social media, technology and less slowing down time, how often do you really feel heard?
It is incredible what will come out of your heart when you are being professionally coached. As coaches we are often astounded when those we are coaching have a “light bulb” moment while they are talking to us.
Don’t get the wrong idea, this is not counselling, but working with your own your personal coach, this program enables you to envision the future and develop strategies to solve your pressing issues and move forward.
You will learn new skills and utilise new tools to give you confidence, lessen stress and we provide a sounding board for the challenges and dreams that keep you awake at night!
You will meet with your coach weekly for around an hour or so depending on your availability. Weekly is important as it maintains the momentum and you will see results much faster.
As MBCI Personal Coaches we have seen the difference coaching makes in people’s lives and how it changes them personally.
Coaching builds a very special relationship and we feel honoured to be spending time with our clients, and to see the life changing results.
