Health Coaching
It's an unfortunate fact that, even having left a consultation enthusiastic about newly gathered knowledge, only 14-20% of people (according to different studies) then change their behaviour in response to this information. If you don't put knowledge into action you have wasted your time and money!
We now offer coaching sessions on living a healthy life-style and any other changes you're looking to make in your career or personal life.
Our sister company Life Coaching London has more information and a free monthly newsletter available with no obligation.
How does coaching work?
Coaching helps you create your own definition of success and empowers you to achieve your full potential in life with a clear path laid out along which to develop. You will achieve this faster with a coach than you would alone.
Until recently, coaching was probably done informally by friends or the extended family network. Having a chat with a relation or a good pal could let you mull over problems you didn't want to discuss with 'just anybody'. Nowadays families may be too distant geographically for such a trusting relationship to develop. Friends are still an option, but they may be involved in the issue, competitors in some sense or even prone to enjoy a good gossip. If you need a wise confidante whose confidentiality can be relied upon, a qualified coach is the answer.
A quick word about what coaching is NOT.
- It isn't a further session gathering nutrition knowledge
- Nor is it a technique you can apply to a third-party. A coach can't 'make' your partner take a specific action.
- Neither is it aimed at resolving issues in your past. Coaching focuses on the future, not the past.
- Coaching is not prescriptive, so the coach will not give long lectures on what to do now. Every client is an individual so the coach will ask simple questions aimed at directing you to define the issue more clearly yourself. Typically the coach does more listening than talking, but is never judgmental or critical.
In a nut-shell, coaching helps clients identify needs and wants, formulate them into achievable goals and then plan strategies to achieve these goals, and measure their progress along the way.
How can a coach help me?
If you would like to move from being in the 80% who fail to take action - and become one of the 20% who go on to benefit from their previous investment of time and money, working with a coach you'll achieve more than when working alone.
Coaching can be done face-to-face, or by telephone, so distance is no obstacle.
