This recognises three critical factors:

Our role as coaches is primarily non-directive, supporting and challenging the individual or team as they build self-awareness, develop choices and identify actions for effective change. There is much debate about 'directiveness' in coaching - in contracting for our role in coaching relationships, there may be times when we are invited to take a more directive approach when appropriate, or to share skills, ideas and experience which may be helpful to the client. We are, after all, coaches in a business context and not counsellors. However, we will only take on this more mentor-like role with specific permission from the client and also if it seems the most appropriate way to make progress towards the agreed objectives.

Our style is impartial and exploratory - through listening, reflecting, challenging and questioning, together we can explore what's important for the client, notice what works for them and what gets in the way, what makes them feel more able to cope with business and life.

together we develop awareness of resources, beliefs and actions to move you forward
