Your coach asks you questions and may give you self assessments to raise your awareness of what you want, what's currently going on and what options you have.
Coaching skills and tools will be adapted to give you space to think in a very constructive way.
You decide actions to deal with immediate situations as well as creating strategies to achieve longer term goals.
Why would I need a coach? Friends and family can provide support and encouragement which is important, but they are affected by what you do, so they have their own agenda's for you. Also, unlike your coach, they are not trained professionals in the field of enhancing human potential
Many successful people hire a life coach. Presidents, top sports people, the person down the street from you. Coaching is very effective at taking people to the next level of success and happiness whatever the persons circumstances.
Is coaching like counseling? No – counseling is primarily about you talking and probably reflecting a lot on the past. With coaching you talk, primarily about the present and future and you set regular actions to accomplish between coaching sessions to speed up your progress to your goals.
Individual coaching is very powerful as there is only one persons agenda – yours. Group coaching workshops provide a different learning and sharing experience often complimented by an individual coaching session. We offer the following workshops from time to time

I went to Fiona because I hated my well paid job and wondered if I could pack it in and move to Spain . Coaching brought to light things in my personal relationships at home and at work that were weighing me down as well as lack of confidence with certain accounts I dealt with in my demanding job. It gave me new ways of getting what I needed in my life. I am now much happier in both my job and relationship. I have progressed moving to Spain but with an extended, more relaxed time scale.

"Coaching has helped me to admit which questions about my life are both difficult and important for me to answer and to begin at last to deal with them."
Alison Buchanan, (Artist in Barcelona )“Coaching has helped reinforce my positive thoughts and helped to eliminate my negative thoughts. It has given me the push to succeed at times when I felt overwhelmed.”
Lynda Smith (Business owner and mum)
Life Coaching has been, and continues to be, a very positive experience. It has helped me to 'de-clutter' my life, thereby enabling me to identify and focus on my goals and aspirations. At last I have achieved a balance between my home life and my career that I am happy with. I now realise that you can change direction at any time you choose; the only thing holding you back are your own limited beliefs".
Karen ( Poole )
“The first coaching session really made me clearer of what was going on, how I felt and what I need to do next. I am no longer deluding myself. As well as feeing much happier, another surprising side effect is that I have stopped being a shopaholic.”
Brenda
“I separated from my husband 2 years ago. He took all responsibility for the home finances and they seemed very overwhelming to me, particularly during a low emotional ebb in my life. Fiona's invaluable coaching enabled me to isolate the tangible and practical aspects of personal finances while supporting and encouraging me to make more and more decisions for myself”
Diane White
I found the structure that Kelly provided together with her support and encouragement very worthwhile in getting back on track and changing my career after working for the same company for 25 years. The Life Coaching experience resulted in me being truly focused and setting goals which enabled me to make changes.
Mark C ( Dorset )
“I cannot thank Ronnie enough for the sensitive and empowering way in which she helped me”
Pam
"Fiona is an extremely enthusiastic person and is incredibly good at helping you define your goals and then putting simple plans together to make them a reality. Regular chats on the telephone between meetings help to ensure that you remain on track and stay focused. Fiona is a truly remarkable coach."
Stephen Tassel IT contractor
“I was getting in a real state, then Ronnie helped me put things into perspective, and coaching sorted things out in my mind. I became amazed at the new control that I have in my life …I am beginning to feel that I can do anything I strive for….it's within my reach – wow …”
Patsy - busy working mum
"I juggle loads of things and have an extremely busy life which often gets too full! I needed to prioritise and coaching really helped me to do just that. I have gained clearer focus on the most important goals. I also enjoyed the process."
Elizabeth Gould – business womanCoaching has helped me to recognise much more quickly when my work/home life balance changes. I now realise that I can make choices and ask people to support me in those choices. The result has been a much calmer life, happier home and being more fulfilled and productive at work"
Fiona Unger- Pfizer Healthcare Consultant
“Coaching has enabled me to change many aspects of my life. In particular, what and who really matters to me, the ability to prioritise and think in a more positive manner, get my finances sorted out, take time out for myself and not go into overdrive. It has been a big influence in helping me to achieve peace of mind within a busy and rewarding lifestyle”
Pauline Townend - Care and volunteer worker & business women
"coaching helped me maintain focus on what's important during a period when there have been so many different demands for my attention. This included ensuring my family didn't suffer in the process. .....I used my time more effectively and increased my confidence. I had a successful first year achieving my business targets and in the first half of my second year I have increased my business by 170% ! "
