One to One coaching opportunity

Do you have a tricky decision you are grappling with? Are you finding all the changes that are happening difficult to cope with? Do you feel you are not quite reaching your full potential but can’t put your finger on why? Are you struggling to keep a healthy balance between personal and professional life? If any of these scenarios sound familiar then maybe you’d benefit from coaching.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a simple yet effective form of personal development where client and coach work together in a completely confidential environment to allow an individual to explore a specific or general issue which is concerning them. It works equally well with business and personal issues and can be used with teams or individuals. Underpinning a coaching relationship is the belief that that any individual, whether on their own or working as part of a team, can achieve their goals and vision; creating the life they really want. It is about success in everything you do. Coaching is not the same as consulting or counselling
As part of its work to support the profession, the Society is offering 20 individuals the opportunity to experience a free one to one coaching session with an experienced and skilled coach, Alison Denton. Each session will last about 1 1/2 hours and there will be an opportunity to arrange further sessions if required (Although there will be a cost for with this).
